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.

Licensed Professional Counsellor, MA, CCC
Addiction is never just about the substance—it’s about pain, protection, and survival.
Whether you're navigating recovery, in active addiction, or somewhere in between, I offer a nonjudgmental space to explore the deeper roots beneath the behavior. With a background in front-line work in addiction and trauma treatment centers, I understand how complex and layered this journey can be. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you build compassionate relationships with the parts of you that turn to substances for relief, connection, or escape. Together, we’ll work to heal the wounds underneath and reconnect you with the strength, clarity, and Self-energy already within you.

Portsmouth is one of the United Kingdom's great naval cities — home to HMNB Portsmouth, the Royal Navy's primary surface fleet base, and the historic dockyard where HMS Victory is berthed — and its therapy community is substantially shaped by the needs of Royal Navy personnel, veterans, and military families navigating deployment stress, trauma, and the emotional challenges of service life. The city is densely populated and has experienced significant post-industrial economic challenges, with therapists frequently addressing economic stress, housing precarity, and the mental health effects of communities carrying long-term deprivation. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust provides public mental health services alongside a private therapy community concentrated in Southsea and the residential suburbs north of the city centre. The University of Portsmouth's psychology programmes supply clinical training to the local community.
