Valentina Olper
Therapist, MSc
Transcend the cycle of numbing and rediscover the inner source that substances often mask. We look beyond the behaviour to the unmet needs and deep disconnection driving the urge, integrating your tender parts to find a more profound, sovereign 'high' in your own essence.

Substance Abuse
Saffron Marriner
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP (Accred)
Addiction often develops as a coping mechanism for dealing with unresolved trauma. Substances can provide temporary relief from emotional pain, anxiety and depression. However, reliance on these substances can lead to a dependency and exacerbate a person's challenges. By providing psycho education to my client's about trauma and addiction we can help demystify your experience and this provides a framework for understanding your challenges. Psychoeducation can cover topics like how trauma affects the brain, the cycle of addiction and coping mechanisms. Knowledge empowers my clients to engage actively in your recovery. Mindfulness and grounding exercises can help you stay present and manage any overwhelming emotions, reducing anxiety and enhancing self-awareness. These techniques can help you cope with triggers and stressors. I encourage you to build a support network as this can provide emotional backing and practical assistance, reinforcing the therapeutic process. Working with addiction in a trauma informed way is a compassionate and effective approach that addresses the root cause of your addiction.

Blackpool is England's most famous seaside resort and consistently one of its most deprived towns, with health outcomes—including mental health—among the worst in the country, driven by high rates of long-term unemployment, benefit dependency, substance use, and a seasonal tourism economy that provides unstable and low-paid employment for much of the workforce. Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust provides mental health services in the area, and demand significantly exceeds what is available, making access to timely NHS care difficult for many residents. A private therapy sector exists but is relatively small given the economic profile of the town's population; telehealth has become an important supplement for those with the means to access it. Common therapy concerns include depression, anxiety, substance use, trauma, and the long-term psychological impact of entrenched poverty on individuals and families across generations.
