Many people carry more than they show, feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or weighed down by anxiety, low mood, or past experiences.

Most of all, they want to feel like themselves again, and they’re reaching out because they know they don’t have to do it alone.

I have been a Counsellor / Psychotherapist / Hypnotherapist for over 25years I specialised in the field addiction for many years. Working within addiction offered a wide and varied opportunity to work and become familiar with many client issues. Clients relying upon substances, use as a coping mechanism, however substance use causes further mental health issues which further complicates their ability to cope. I now work solely within private practice based at home where clients can relax in a confidential informal setting. This allows them time explore their own needs in a time frame which meets their own specific needs.

Many of my clients feel overwhelmed–by anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, grief, identity challenges or a sense of not belonging. They may be exhausted from holding everything together or struggling to understand why they feel the way they do. My ideal client wants a space where they can slow down, explore their emotions safely, and make sense of their experiences. They’re looking for clarity, relief, and a more grounded way of living—and they want to feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood.

If you often feel misunderstood, overwhelmed by your emotions, or trapped in patterns you can’t quite explain, you’re not alone. Many of the people I work with appear capable on the outside while carrying shame, self-criticism, and the lasting impact of difficult experiences internally. They want to feel steadier, less reactive, and more in control of their lives. Together, we focus on building emotional resilience, understanding how the past is shaping the present, and creating meaningful change before things reach crisis point.

Alcohol Use Counsellors
Are there specific medications for alcohol use?
There are oral medications approved to treat alcohol use disorder—such as disulfiram, acamprosate, and naltrexone, which also comes in an injectable form. These medications do help people reduce their drinking as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone helps reduce cravings, disulfiram can make a person feel sick when they drink, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
How do alcohol recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other patients in recovery; in outpatient programs,individuals live at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff can also include people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other tools for recovery.
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 alcohol use reduce the amount of alcohol they intake. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
