I have extensive experience working with addictions, having previously worked in a residential rehab program. I am able to bring support and understanding for clients who are struggling to manage their lives due to substance misuse.
Addictions are an interest of mine.
I hold two professional development course certificates in addiction.
One on a brief therapy in stopping addictions and the other is addiction and psyschoanalysis.
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.
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.
