We work with people to overcome their addictions, whether chemical addictions such as smoking or drugs, or behavioural addictions such as shopping, gambling, or sex. Using a combination of Cognitive-based Behavioural Therapies and Hypnotherapy we are able to help resolve the issue, sometimes in a single session.
Addictions and challenges with subance use often co-occur with a history of trauma. Both can be addressed with EMDR therapy. EMDR offers ways to reprocess the root of maladaptive coping strategies, as well as tools to cope with cravings and prevent relapse.
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.
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.
