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.

Liverpool's identity is shaped by its working-class heritage, maritime history, and strong community bonds — a culture that values directness and solidarity, and where therapists who meet clients without pretension find a ready welcome. The city has experienced significant economic hardship since deindustrialisation, and therapists frequently address depression, economic stress, and intergenerational trauma in communities that have carried these burdens for generations. Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust provides substantial public mental health services, with a private therapy community concentrated in the city centre and the leafy south of the city around Allerton and Woolton. Liverpool's cultural richness — anchored by its music, art, and sporting identity — supports a creative community with its own distinct mental health needs.
