Are things that have happened in your life preventing you living as you deserve to? Are you struggling with feelings of anxiety, depression, or feeling numb and disconnected from others? Do you find you're reaching for alcohol, drugs, food, damaging relationships to try to feel better? Or did you grow up with a parent struggling in this way? You don't need to have suffered an obvious trauma or adversity to be be feeling fearful, despairing or battling with a low sense of self worth. Modern life is hard and the pressures sometimes difficult to navigate.
I've worked for over 19yrs. with people struggling to process traumatic experiences, especially those inflicted by others through child abuse and neglect, intimate partner abuse, sexual violence and damaging relationships. I am a specialist in drugs, alcohol and other addictions and have helped many people make changes for a better life.
I've a passion for working with drugs and alcohol problems, being 25 yrs. recovered myself. I've lectured at Unis. and train professionals in this area. Feel free to phone or email me to discuss things further and see if you feel I'd be someone you'd be comfortable working with. I offer a warm welcome to everyone. This is a LGBTQ+ welcoming safe practice.
