I support clients on leaving rehab to continue therapeutic care once detoxed. Drugs and alcohol are not the root cause issue, managing life is the real challenge.

I have been working in the field of alcohol and other drug abuse for 35 years. I deliver a custom-designed program to meet the individual's needs and means.
Counselling provides a space for you to explore your experiences and feelings in a respectful and confidential space. The focus of the conversation is to understand your experience and provide support to explore the ways in which you can introduce change into your life.
If you are addicted to alcohol, drugs, bad relationships, food or shopping we will work together to identify the triggers and reasons you are behaving this way. This may require you seeking additional help from AA or similar to give you the best opportunity to change your life to a more satisfying way of living. I offer a safe and boundaried space in which to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviour.

Addictive substances or behaviours change the way we feel.
People can experience addiction in different ways whether it is a physical or psychological dependence, a compulsive disorder, a physiological, cultural or social issue.
I take a broad view of all these and invite you to bring yourself where we can look at the addictive behaviour and its possible sources. Addiction can be when something becomes compulsive and you feel like you have no choice, that even with serious negative consequences you may continue with the behaviour and it begins to dominate your world.
Counselling can help you explore and identify behaviours, patterns and feelings; working to understand, acknowledge and to accept the way you live life in a healthier way.
I work to help you to understand triggers for your addictions and the events underneath them. I support you to learn to develop compassion for yourself, as well as empower you in taking responsibility as appropriate, and working through shame guilt and any other challenging emotions that may arise.
