Addictions or Substance Abuse
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 some form of harm reduction and the search for possible alternatives.

For the substance abuse crowd my default mode is to go with a 12-step model since that is what many of the treatment programs I have worked in used. Though for those more on the earlier stages of addiction I may work with clients on switching back to responsible use. I am a Certified Addiction Informed Mental Health Professional.

In the case of addictions, I will often look at what came first, the Addiction or Substance Abuse or the problems or difficulties that may flow from that? I would also look at what has been tried before, to seek to deal with the substance abuse or addiction?
