ADDICTION THERAPY
If a behaviour keeps returning despite your wish to stop, therapy offers space to explore what’s underneath — without judgement.
Alcohol, drugs, gambling or compulsive pornography use can become ways of coping with feelings that seem difficult to tolerate. Shame and secrecy may then become part of a cycle that is hard to step away from.
The behaviour may be affecting your relationships, confidence or everyday life, but it does not have to define you. We can slow things down and explore what happens before, during and after the pattern.
Triggers and patterns of use
Shame, secrecy and emotional avoidance
Anxiety, stress, loneliness and difficult feelings
Relationships, intimacy and your sense of self
Healthier ways of coping and responding
I draw on psychotherapy, CBT and specialist addiction training to help you understand the pattern and develop different ways of coping. This is work that takes time: we focus on understanding you as a whole person, rather than reducing you to a label.
