We all suffer from downturns and setbacks in our lives, believe me when I say that I am no exception! But it doesn't have to be the end of the road, perhaps more like a bend in the road. It's hard to see around those corners though. If you're feeling stuck at the bend without the support you need to get through, be it from the overwhelming electric feelings of anxiety; the slowing drudge of depressive thoughts and feelings, or the pain of losing a loved one, support is here for you.

Even if everything seems fine from the outside, do you sometimes feel restless, anxious, or exhausted? Sleepless nights, overwhelming emotions, sudden anger, or feeling stuck in unhealthy cycles are often reflections of past experiences showing up in the present. Many of the clients I work with don’t always call what they’ve been through “trauma,” yet they describe feeling its effects every single day. Have you ever stopped at some point in your life and asked yourself, “Do I have to keep going like this?”

Hello and welcome. My name is Katherine Coates and I am a qualified Person Centred therapist.

Substance Use Counsellors
How do substance and drug recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other clients in recovery; in outpatient programs, individuals reside at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counsellors, and psychotherapists. Staff often also includes people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other methods.
How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?
Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.
How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for substance use reduce the amount of drugs they consume. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
Are there specific medications for substance and drug use?
There are medications approved to treat substance use disorder—such as buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, and acamprosate. These medications do help people cope with substance use as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone can help reduce cravings, methadone is an opioid medication used to treat severe pain, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
