Marianna Trezza -The Growing mindset
Counsellor/Therapist, MA (Hons), Adv Dip. Counsel. & Psychoth.,Dip. Hypnoth., X-Cultural Adaptation Coun. Reg. BACP 572613
Some of the women I work with came to therapy for something else entirely, the loneliness, the exhaustion of building a life abroad, and found, a few sessions in, that alcohol or another substance had quietly become the way they were coping. Others already know that's part of what brought them here. Either way, I don't work from a place of judgement. Being far from the structures and relationships that used to hold you together can make any coping habit harder to see and harder to put down. We look at what the substance is actually doing for you, not only at stopping.

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP
I have over 25 years’ experience of living within 12-step recovery, including recovery from addiction to drugs, alcohol, and sex and love. This lived experience informs my clinical work, particularly with clients who are new to recovery, returning to it, or seeking additional therapeutic depth alongside an established recovery programme.
I understand the complexities of recovery beyond abstinence, including identity, relationships, shame, and long-standing patterns of self-protection. I bring this understanding together with my professional training in Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering a thoughtful and grounded therapeutic approach that respects both structure and complexity.

Nicola Woods
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, UKCP, EMDR
My approach to working with addiction and substance abuse is to support clients in exploring and understanding the root causes of their addiction. Developing this compassionate understanding enables clients, in the supportive therapeutic relationship we create, to start to process and heal the underlying trauma that is driving the addiction and substance abuse.

Liam West
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, Adv Dip MBACP
It can often feel shaming or overwhelming to seek help for any problems with substance use. Though there are many services out there for people wishing to seek help they are often a one-size-fits-all offering and not for everyone. You should not suffer alone though, and talking about things can improve your mental state and perhaps even the reasons behind excessive usage if we go a little deeper. Seeking counselling does not mean you have to do anything other than turn up and engage-it does not mean scrutiny into your lifestyle will take place but that someone will be alongside you with any struggles that you are going through.

Jill Deacon
Counsellor/Therapist, BSc and FdSc Person Centred Counselling. MBACP
Addictive substances or behaviours change the way we feel.
People can experience addiction in different ways whether it is a physical or psychological dependence, a compulsive disorder, a physiological, cultural or social issue.
I take a broad view of all these and invite you to bring yourself where we can look at the addictive behaviour and its possible sources. Addiction can be when something becomes compulsive and you feel like you have no choice, that even with serious negative consequences you may continue with the behaviour and it begins to dominate your world.
Counselling can help you explore and identify behaviours, patterns and feelings; working to understand, acknowledge and to accept the way you live life in a healthier way.

Dr Paul Garden
Psychologist, Doctorate in Psychology, DPsych, MSc with Distinction, BSc First Class Honours.
During my time in the NHS, I spent several years working with people struggling with issues around addictions. I specialise in developing understanding of the deeper purpose of the addiction; what it's origins are and what it's attempting to heal. This understanding can lead to a greater sense of freedom and opportunity.

Chelmsford is the county town and cathedral city of Essex, a significant commuter hub for London served by fast rail links into Liverpool Street, and home to Anglia Ruskin University's Chelmsford campus, which brings a student population and contributes trained health professionals to the local workforce. NHS mental health services are provided through Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust, and a private therapy sector serves both the professional commuter population and permanent residents. The town's rapid growth and commuter character create specific mental health dynamics around work-life balance, long daily commutes, and the challenge of building local community in a place where many residents' professional and social lives are oriented toward the capital. Common therapy concerns include commuter stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, and the identity challenges of a cathedral city still defining itself beyond its role as a London satellite.
