Addiction Counselling in Hassocks
I can help with anxiety, panic, stress, burnout, low mood & depression; relationship issues, break-ups, family or work conflict; low confidence, identity, personal growth & feeling stuck; trauma, grief, anger, addiction & intrusive thoughts; eating patterns, habits, procrastination; and LGBTQ+, cultural identity & belonging.
Hi, I’m Damian Colletti practicing as Hermeneia Therapy.
Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. Therapy is a broad term, there are so many of us out there, and when life already feels heavy, investing time, energy and money into support can feel like a big step.
I’m someone who understands that life can be messy, painful, and full of change. I know something about loss, resilience, uncertainty, responsibility, and having to keep going through difficult times. These experiences don’t define the therapy, but they do help shape the way I meet people: with warmth, respect, honesty, and care.

I can help people who don’t feel they are living their best lives due to anxiety, low mood, poor self-esteem and negative self-talk overcome these problems and manifest a life that is driven by values, aspirations and contentment. As humans, we all have a need to find a purpose and meaning, and this can be difficult if we allow our worries, fears, doubts and unhelpful emotions to take control of the drivers seat. Whilst we can never eliminate negative feelings, I can help you develop an accepting relationship with them so you take re-take control of the drivers seat and move forward in the direction you want with purpose.

With 25 years of experience in counselling & psychotherapy I aim to help couples & individuals understand emotions and how to get more from their relationships. Some want to renew a long gone passion and others are just fighting to stay together - the answer is often found by looking at new ways to communicate with each other rather than fixing a disagreement. There will be reasons for your behaviour that make sense and I will help you to uncover these throughout our sessions together. You may have an ‘arguing style’ and by looking more deeply, at your inner hurt and anger, we will be able to discover what is really going on.

I also work comfortably with questions around sexuality and intimacy, including areas people may feel anxious or ashamed about. Sessions in Hove and online.

I recognise everyone's narrative is different and I offer a safe, confidential space to be listened to. Sometimes just this in itself is enough for someone to organise and verbalise their thoughts so that they can move on. But sometimes the issues are more deep routed and need to be brought to the surface before we can deal with them. This may require more thought-provoking work with a client. Sometimes however people do have an insight into themselves and why they feel the way they do but again do not know how to leave their old narrative behind and move on.

Addiction Counsellors
What is the best therapy for addiction?
Addiction treatment will be tailored to the individual. People seeking help for addiction—whether with a psychotherapist, in an outpatient clinic, or in a residential program—should expect to engage in multiple types of treatments, sometimes including medication. For anyone recovering from addiction, avoiding situations in which one has typically used a substance is essential, as is the support of close connections. Since substance use disorders tend to co-occur with underlying mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression, those must also be addressed as part of any recovery plan.
How long does therapy for addiction take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from addiction. Patients and their families should expect the work to last several months, if not longer. Residential treatment programs may be based on a stay of 30, 60, or 90 days, with continuing work after release, but only about 1 percent of people are treated in such facilities. Ceasing use is just the first step; therapy to help maintain abstinence and effect behavior change must follow. The process of recovery, neuroscience has shown, involves brain cells recovering the capacity to respond to natural sources of reward and restore control over the impulse to use. Another definition of recovery is restoring voluntary control over one’s substance use and retaking all of one’s previous responsibilities.
How effective is drug addiction treatment?
Substance use disorders are treatable and remission is achievable for many who seek recovery; by some estimates, more than three-quarters of people who become addicted to alcohol or drugs recover. But that success rarely occurs quickly or on a set timeline; relapse is not only common, but many therapists and clinicians view it as a normal part of the process—not always a sign that a person has returned to addiction, but a signal that their treatment should be adjusted to help them regain control. Overall, research suggests, five years after the end of substance use, one’s risk of relapse is no greater than that of others who had not faced addiction. Other experts believe that complete abstinence is not the only measure of recovery, and that, through effective treatment, many people can learn to control their use.
How can you get addiction treatment for someone?
The most important factor in recovery from addiction is widely understood to be an individual’s commitment to change. For that reason,“interventions” in which friends and family gather to urge or force someone to begin immediate treatment often backfire; even when such efforts do lead someone to begin treatment, they may be less likely to stay than those who are self-driven. Still, family members can play an important role in supporting an individual who seeks help and can take part in family therapy as one element of a loved one’s treatment.
