25.01.2022 COVID 19 restrictions have created challenging times for many, feeling powerless or helpless as a consequence. Its tempting to reach for that drink - a feeling of temporary empowerment, almost omnipotence, coming with it. What if that one empowering drink becomes more frequent; what if it ends up controlling you? A different approach to understanding and managing alcoholism and other addictive behaviours 'The Heart of Addiction' by Lance Dodes, M.D. offers an alternative to ...the widely held premise that addiction is fundamentally a physical problem; that you have to hit rock bottom to get well. It offers a compelling case for unrecognised emotional factors at the heart of addiction, primarily powerlessness and helplessness; why people feel the impulse to use; why they feel it when they do; and what alternatives can work in that critical moment. 'Breaking Addiction: A 7-Step Handbook for Ending Any Addiction' also by Lance Dodes, M.D. offers an alternative road map to recovery for those experiencing chronic relapse or for whom 12 Step or other therapies, like Cognitive Behaviour Therapy have not landed. Individuals need individualised approaches to meet their needs - Dodes' work may resonate for some or many perhaps? Help is available for those seeking it - psychotherapy may help clients who are curious and willing to "dig addiction up by its roots" and enable those suffering to gain a greater insight into their 'self', their addiction and to take back control - to find a stronger sense of 'self'.

17.01.2022 Addictions can start off as harmless habits or social 'fun' but can quickly turn into something that affects every area of your life negatively. Many people once they get to the point of being aware of an addiction wonder 'Why can't I just quit?' The good news is that you can quit, although it can be a complicated process. There are many factors, physical, mental, and emotional, that make quitting difficult. But with the right support and a willingness to commit to the proces...s many people have successfully moved on from addictions and it has transformed their lives. I can help facilitate the process to help you cope with the uncomfortable feelings associated with quitting an addiction and help you unravel the irrational thoughts that keep you addicted.

10.01.2022 We all know that relationships can be hard work. Sometimes expectations can be misaligned, communication breaks down and this can often lead to some incredibly challenging moments to work through. You don't need to walk through it alone. Family and relationship counselling is a wonderful way to explore some of the challenges in your relationship whilst having a third person to help guide you through any blind spots and facilitate a more positive conversation that is focused around a good outcome for everyone involved. I am offering family and relationship counselling starting in April 2020. Please get in touch to find out more - [email protected]
