Joel Cantor, Weybridge Hypnotherapy & Mindfulness
Therapist, MCH, BSc(hons), SQHP
Covid and the ensuing lockdown has produced a stark increase in the number of those seeking help for various addictions.
It is not surprising perhaps that alcohol tops the list. It is the easiest to come by of course, and suddenly it was possible to drink during a work day with colleagues being none the wiser.
It is the ability to indulge in any addictive behaviour, free of the constraints associated with normal day to day life, that has emerged as the most common factor for those attending our clinics in the last year or so.
Illegal substance abuse also continues to be on the rise, and at Weybridge Hypnotherapy & Mindfulness we continue to provide a comprehensive program of therapy to finally overcome any and all addictions.

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.

Gui Mansilla
Registered Psychotherapist, Lawyer (Arg) M.Div (USA) Reg. Psychotherapist (CA) Coach (Ca)
My journey with addiction is deeply personal, having been marked by the impact of my father's functional addiction from a young age. Despite the challenges it posed to our family, his struggles provided a unique perspective on the insidious nature of this illness—one that systematically dismantles lives, relationships, self-esteem, and even financial well-being.
While some may find it surprising, I consider it a fortune to have experienced the profound effects of addiction within my family. This experience became a catalyst for my healing and understanding of this intricate and complex illness. Today, as a specialized therapist and coach in addiction, I draw upon my personal journey to not only care for myself but also guide countless others through their path to recovery.
Working with addiction is powerful because, behind the façade of this illness, attempting to soothe deep-seated pain, there is always a remarkable human being waiting to actualize their full potential. I view addiction as an illness that, with proper care, can transform into a blessing, unleashing newfound superpowers. Those who have survived the grip of addiction, embarked on a healing journey and acquired wisdom and tools can become agents of positive change in the world.
Witnessing individuals transition from the depths of addiction to a purposeful and passionate life is akin to witnessing a superpower in action. The trauma, pain, and neglect that fueled the addiction often become the driving force behind a life dedicated to health, well-being, and positive impact.
Approaching this work requires delicacy and depth. The individual undertaking the healing journey needs perseverance, a thorough understanding, and decisive action to transform the dark tunnel of addiction into a sea of light. It would be my utmost honour to guide you through this challenging and isolating experience, helping you emerge into a world of your own creation—a world filled with choices that fulfill your life and enrich the lives of those around you.
