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.

Liz Witzke
Registered Psychotherapist, RPQ, BA, LLB, CSAT, CPTT
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
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.

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.
