Addictions & Compulsive Behaviour
Having started as a counsellor in a drug & alcohol rehab (over 15 years ago), I have many year’s experience of working with issues around addiction and compulsive behaviour, including…
- substances (alcohol and drugs)
- sex (and chemsex) and compulsive relationships
- gambling and extreme financial risk-taking (including compulsive shopping/trading)
- physically, psychologically or emotionally risky situations
…and I am mindful of how subtle, but powerful and undermining, the shadow of addiction can be.
Whether you are concerned about:
- your addiction(s), or
- the addiction(s) of someone close to you
my approach is
- non-judgemental,
- compassionate and
- focussed on facilitating the conditions that may significantly support recovery.
I encourage you to identify and use resources such as 12-step/fellowship groups (AA, NA, GA, AlAnon etc) or non 12-step groups such as SMART Recovery or Moderation Management. My aim is to help you build sustainable change based on your unique needs and experiences.
I have worked with individuals, couples and parents and siblings around their experience of addiction (my practice is available for clients aged 18+).
