Psychologist, MAPS, B Psych ECowan, GradDipCounselMurdoch,
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?
Understanding that each journey through addiction is personal and complex, I am here to offer you a compassionate and tailored approach to overcoming the challenges of addiction and substance abuse. I recognise the courage to seek help and the vulnerability of sharing your story. It's my commitment to provide you with a supportive space where you feel understood and valued, guiding you through your healing process. By combining the best of scientific research with holistic practices, I aim to help you navigate your path to recovery, build resilience, and rediscover a sense of self that feels renewed and authentic. Together, we'll work towards overcoming addiction and thriving beyond it.
The misuse of alcohol and other drugs can have a damaging impact on individuals, families and communities. Therapies we utilise include behavioural therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and motivational interviewing. We look at at the whole person to support, evaluate and treat as well as any co-occurring mental health issues such as depression and anxiety.
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.
