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.

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.

Shareen Birges
Registered Social Worker, BASS, GDYMH, MSW
I have worked with both young people & adults with substance misuse/abuse issues & those with diagnosed addictive behaviour. Using motivational interviewing & elements of CBT, I work with a person-centred & strengths based approach to tailor treatment to the personal needs of the individual & their significant others. I understand that recovery can be difficult & how important it is to move at the pace of the indiviudal seeking support. I work on the basis that relapse is part of the process & as discouraging as this can be, it is important to use these set backs as a learning opportunity to better enable the individual to make recovery stick the next time around.

The city has three major universities — the University of Leeds, Leeds Beckett, and Leeds Trinity — generating significant demand for therapists who work with academic pressure, young adult mental health, and the stresses of student life. Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust provides public mental health services, with a private therapy community serving Chapel Allerton, Headingley, and the city centre. Leeds's large South Asian and Eastern European communities also drive growing demand for multilingual and culturally affirming therapists.
