Addiction is a complex and deeply personal struggle. Therefore, in order to address an addiction, individuals need comprehensive and compassionate support. Our sessions will help you to identify triggers, manage cravings, and develop coping strategies. In addition, we will structure a plan around which your recovery can be maintained in the longer term. The over-riding principle of recovery is change. By addressing your issues, making the necessary changes in your life, and working towards your goals, you can build a future free from the paralysis of addiction.
I have worked with all forms of addiction, along with more general mental health issues. In particular, I have extensive experience of helping those struggling with problem gambling. Engaging predominantly from a CBT and Person-Centred perspective, lived experience of addiction, and recovery, also informs my counselling.
Counselling offers a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences, emotions, and goals. When in active addiction, seeking help is one of the hardest steps to take. I understand that the journey to recovery can feel overwhelming, but with the right guidance and support, change is possible.

CBT is a particularly effective treatment for addiction, addressing as it does the thought patterns and behaviours that fuel it. Problem gamblers, for example, have distorted beliefs, such as the illusion of control. CBT helps to recognise these cognitive distortions, and replace them with healthier, more rational ways of thinking.
