Rita El Alaoui
Hypnotherapist, Hypnotherapy diploma, reiki master diploma.
People often relapse if they still view themselves as an "addict struggling to say no." In hypnotherapy, what I do is help clients practice handling high-stress situations calmly, shifting their mindset to someone who is naturally clear-headed and free breaking the automatic connection by rewiring how the brain sees those triggers and making the craving lose its power.

Substance Abuse
Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
Addiction can feel like a battle you're fighting alone, caught between wanting to change and feeling pulled back into old patterns. If substances have taken more from your life than you'd like to admit, let's work together to help you find a different way forward.
The first step in working with addiction is understanding that this isn't a matter of willpower or moral failing. It's a way your mind and body learned to cope with pain. In a supportive, non-judgmental space, we'll explore what's underneath the addiction, and build a foundation of accountability and self-compassion that actually holds. My approach honours both the seriousness of recovery and your capacity to heal.
You don't have to do this alone. Let's take the first step toward freedom and a life that feels more like your own.

Substance Abuse
Gaye Mallinson - Somatic Psychotherapies
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Soc.Ser. (Couns) Dist, Dip. Couns, Trauma Informed Yoga Cert, Pranayama Cert, Nidra Cert
I work primarily from a Rogerian or Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) approach using a conversational style listening patiently to you, always with empathy, genuineness and without judgement, to help find the solutions you desire for your life whilst adjusting my techniques to fit your needs within each session.
My focus is in supporting harm minimisation strategies that can feel practical for your circumstances. I understand that abstinence is not always the goal for every individual and this is not a focus unless you desire this particular goal. I can also utilise various assessments to measure the severity of a specific problem, as well as determining your progress within therapy. I can provide a copy of these for your doctor or other treatment provider to assist you further where requested.
My aim is to then assist you with your life difficulties to restore balance, happiness and inner peace with various techniques of 'talk therapy' and somatic (mind/body) healing methods, along with offering practical strategies that may be useful where suitable and desired by you. Whatever you are going through, know that there is hope - Let me help you find that hope.

Substance Abuse
Thomas Reiner Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Diploma of Counselling (AIPC)
There is no easy fix for substance use. My approach is influenced by Gabor Maté's compassionate inquiry. That is, we will explore the things that actually work in regard to my clients' substance use. We will also look at things that have led to the substance use in the first place. This is usually followed by looking at different forms of harm reduction and the search for possible alternatives.
