my services
Counselling Psychotherapy
I provide counselling psychotherapy for individuals, couples and family members aged 16 and above. Issues treated include personal and parenting relationships, depression, anxiety, stress and anger management, phobias, grief, loss, and trauma.
I specialise in addressing the full range of compulsive behaviours and addictions, such as alcohol and drug dependency, food issues, sex addiction, gaming, gambling and pornography and the compulsive use of internet and social media.
Group Therapy
Therapy groups are held weekly to provide connection and support for clients in treatment for all addictions.
Addiction Continuing Care and Relapse Prevention
Continuing Care is a crucial part of any addiction client’s long term recovery strategy. Failure to carry on with working a supportive programme is a high predictor of relapse. Our goal is relapse prevention, with continuing care provided for addiction clients in new recovery and especially those returning from inpatient rehabilitation treatment. Without support, these clients can be vulnerable and need support reintegrating back into a clean and sober life in their home community.
This kind of support has been shown to greatly improve the chances of long term recovery. Recovering addicts will also be encouraged to attend the meetings of 12 Step fellowships, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, (AA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), and Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA).
Family and Partner Programme
Addiction is truly a family disease, with each addict adversely affecting on average the lives of five other people. Our Family and Partner Programme caters to the needs of families and partners of those in recovery from addictions. We address how best to support recovering addicts, codependency and in the case of partners of sex addicts, personal betrayal issues.
Coaching
One-on-one coaching in presentation skills, effective interpersonal communication, overcoming stage fright, speech-writing, career guidance and crisis management.
