Substance Misuse Recovery
Supportive counselling to navigate recovery and help others affected by it.
How I can help those in recovery
Making the decision to stop using alcohol or non-prescription drugs can be scary. You may still have the same friends, live in the same place and be in the same situation but now you have decided to live your life without your substance of choice - and this can be hard.
You may have used substances in the past to deal with painful feelings and now need to find alternative ways of facing them in order to remain abstinent and stay in recovery. Feelings can emerge or become more intense when you are not relying on a substance to bury them.
I can work with you to explore what you would like your substance-free life to look like and how to be the real you informed by your values and beliefs. This therapy can exist alongside any 12-step recovery work you are also involved in.

Is your life affected by a person's drinking or substance misuse?
I recognise that addiction can have a massive impact on the lives of family and friends of those affected and that you may need your own support to manage with this.
You may feel that your life has been swallowed up by worrying about or dealing with the consequences of the unhealthy behaviours of people close to you. I can provide you with a safe environment to talk about your feelings and focus on how YOUR needs are being met.
