addiction, dependency & disorders

Addressing the complexities of addiction and disordered behaviour requires a multifaceted approach, combining understanding and support. My aim is to bring awareness to the pain that lies behind addiction and disordered coping mechanisms, addressing it through understanding and compassion.

​

Navigating the journey of addiction and disordered behaviours necessitates a comprehensive strategy that emphasises both empathy and support. It is essential to illuminate the underlying struggles that contribute to these challenges as they often stem from unresolved emotional turmoil.

​

In facilitating recovery, I am committed to establishing a robust support system
that empowers individuals on their path to healing. Recognising the complexities of their experiences allows us to tailor the approach, ensuring that each person receives the appropriate guidance and encouragement they need to thrive.

 I know life can throw many hurdles our way, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or even stuck when trying to tackle them. Sometimes, these challenges build up over time from our childhood experiences, while other times they come from a single major event. No matter the cause, they can create a negative impact by creating a cycle of negative self-talk and thoughts that interfere with the ability to change, make choices, or move forward. These internal dialogues can cloud creativity and problem-solving skills as well as make it tough to find a path through the issues we’re dealing with.

A lot of these obstacles stem from things like depression, anxiety, PTSD, fears, grief, relationship troubles, or stress, and they can shift from being mental health struggles into physical health problems if not addressed.
