I'm experienced in providing Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and ACT for clients who have problems with substance misuse, and clients who have addictions to YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, social media, internet browsing, Chat GPT, gaming, OW, gambling and porn, including clients who struggle with these addictions whilst also having ADHD or ADD.

Substance Abuse
Jayne Batten
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CT, MPCC, MBACP
Addictions are behaviours in which we engage to enable us to cope with deep emotional pain, usually stemming from some form of trauma in our lives. Social and environmental factors can also play a role in developing addictions. Addictions include the use of alcohol, drugs, sex, pornography, gambling, smoking, shopping, etc. as a way to provide temporary relief from the painful thoughts and negative feelings that arise within us. Over time addictions establish themselves as the go-to relief to cope with our emotions, but at the same time render us less functional. Our relationships, work, and homelife begin to suffer from the consequences of the addiction. Talking therapy can help to uncover and resolve the pain that lies beneath addiction and over time help us to reconnect with our inner selves and to discover and develop behavioural responses to replace the addictive behaviour.

Substance Abuse
Valentina Olper
Therapist, MSc
Transcend the cycle of numbing and rediscover the inner source that substances often mask. We look beyond the behaviour to the unmet needs and deep disconnection driving the urge, integrating your tender parts to find a more profound, sovereign 'high' in your own essence.

Substance Abuse
Kylie Feller
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.
