Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
Addiction can be a scary thing that is often surrounded by ambiguity and confusion: why do I continue to use when I know it is bad for me? Why do I want to use in the first place? Why can't I seem to stop using and why can't I change? In working with clients, step 1 of our work is figuring out the answers to these questions and figuring out why addiction occurs in the first place. After this, we explore tools, resources, and therapies that will best work for clients in helping them create the changes they need and to promote the lifestyle they want.

Addictions or Substance Abuse

Shane Smyth

Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, OACCPP
I have worked in the area of addiction for over 8 years and I am able to work with people to identify the chain of events that leads to engaging in addictive or compulsive behaviours. Sometimes exploring underlying issues such as trauma, anxiety, relationship issues or depression is part of the work with addiction and sometimes it is more helpful to explore behavioural changes and work with someone to mindfully change their habits. I do not believe in stigmatising or shaming addiction as I have had my own struggles with addiction and compulsive behaviours. The first step is understanding with a sense of compassion.

Addictions or Substance Abuse

Jayne Batten

Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CT, RPC, MPCC
Addictions are behaviours in which we engage to enable us to cope with deep emotional pain, usually stemming from some form of trauma in our lives. Social and environmental factors can also play a role in developing addictions. Addictions include the use of alcohol, drugs, sex, pornography, gambling, smoking, shopping, etc. as a way to provide temporary relief from the painful thoughts and negative feelings that arise within us. Over time addictions establish themselves as the go-to relief to cope with our emotions, but at the same time render us less functional. Our relationships, work, and homelife begin to suffer from the consequences of the addiction. Talking therapy can help to uncover and resolve the pain that lies beneath addiction and over time help us to reconnect with our inner selves and to discover and develop behavioural responses to replace the addictive behaviour.
