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.

Louise Perry
Therapist, IFS UKCP HCCP BAAT
With 24 years of recovery from addiction—including drugs, alcohol, and sex and love addiction—I bring a deep, personal understanding of what it means to navigate the challenges of healing and growth. My own journey has been profoundly shaped by the 12-step approach, and this experience underpins the empathy and authenticity I bring to my work as a psychotherapist.
I understand what it’s like to face inner struggles, to confront difficult truths, and to find resilience in the process of recovery. These experiences not only inform my professional practice but also inspire my unwavering commitment to supporting others. Whether you’re grappling with addiction, exploring relationships, or seeking clarity about yourself, I aim to offer a safe, compassionate space for your journey.
I combine this lived experience with my professional training in Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients explore, express, and overcome life’s challenges. Warm-hearted, unshockable, and trustworthy, I am here to walk alongside you as you uncover new possibilities for growth and self-discovery.

Shareen Birges
Registered Social Worker, BASS, GDYMH, MSW
I have worked with both young people & adults with substance misuse/abuse issues & those with diagnosed addictive behaviour. Using motivational interviewing & elements of CBT, I work with a person-centred & strengths based approach to tailor treatment to the personal needs of the individual & their significant others. I understand that recovery can be difficult & how important it is to move at the pace of the indiviudal seeking support. I work on the basis that relapse is part of the process & as discouraging as this can be, it is important to use these set backs as a learning opportunity to better enable the individual to make recovery stick the next time around.
