Service Description

Addiction & Recovery Counselling Addiction is rarely just about the substance or behaviour itself. For many people, it becomes a way of coping with emotional pain, stress, trauma, difficult experiences or feelings that seem overwhelming. Whether you're struggling with alcohol, drugs or other addictive behaviours, considering making a change, or already navigating recovery, you deserve support without judgement or shame. I bring professional experience working with individuals experiencing addiction, trauma and mental health challenges, alongside an understanding of the complexities of recovery. My approach is compassionate, collaborative and practical. Together, we'll explore the underlying patterns, emotional triggers and beliefs that may contribute to addictive behaviours, while developing healthier ways of managing life's challenges. Our work may include emotional regulation, understanding cravings and triggers, relapse prevention, rebuilding self-worth, establishing healthy boundaries and strengthening relationships. I also recognise that recovery involves much more than stopping a behaviour. It's about rebuilding trust in yourself, reconnecting with your values and creating a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling. You'll be supported with practical tools, coping strategies and personalised exercises that you can apply between sessions, helping you build confidence and resilience in everyday life. Recovery isn't about perfection. It's about progress, self-awareness and learning to make choices that support the person you want to become. Sessions are available online via Zoom throughout Australia. Counselling can complement medical treatment, detoxification, rehabilitation and peer-support programmes where appropriate.
