Substance Abuse
Nicola Woods
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, UKCP, EMDR
My approach to working with addiction and substance abuse is to support clients in exploring and understanding the root causes of their addiction. Developing this compassionate understanding enables clients, in the supportive therapeutic relationship we create, to start to process and heal the underlying trauma that is driving the addiction and substance abuse.

Substance Abuse
Liz Witzke
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Qualifying), CSAT
I help clients facing both substance and process addictions, including sex and love addiction. In our sessions, we'll explore your experiences and work together to process pain, find clarity, and begin healing—drawing on both my Gestalt training and 15 years in criminal defense. Many clients begin to feel relief and clarity within the first few sessions.

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
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.
