Addiction therapy
we work together.
The addiction itself is the symptom of a deeper struggle.
So first, we work together to identify the root cause.
This will help you to take steps in the direction you desire.
Starting the recovery journey can be scary. It can feel like there are so many expectations on you to change many things at once. The priority is that you recover in the way that works for you.
It can feel shameful to share the difficulties of addiction with someone else. Addiction Therapy provides an opportunity for you to share your experiences, and whatever might be troubling you, in a safe and non-judgemental space.
I will tailor your recovery plan to your needs, and I will guide you through the process of setting realistic goals that you will achieve.
Connection Acceptance Empathy
I am primarily person-centred which means that I believe you are the expert on YOU. Therefore, you are the most important part of your recovery journey.
What I will bring to the space, as a pluralistic counsellor, is a range of modalities within the cognitive and motivational approaches. In terms of which modality I use and when, I will meet you wherever you are at in your journey.
Finding Freedom: A Journey with Addiction Therapy
Addiction can be a relentless captor, silently taking control of our lives and causing immense suffering. It can feel like a never-ending battle, but the good news is that there is hope. Addiction therapy offers a path to recovery, healing, and a life of lasting freedom.
At Sarah Collins Counselling & Addiction Therapy, we understand the unique challenges that come with addiction. We wholeheartedly believe that everyone deserves a chance at redemption and transformation. Our addiction therapy program is committed to providing a safe and supportive space where individuals can heal from the grips of addiction.
Understanding Addiction
Before delving into the potential of addiction therapy, it's important to understand what addiction truly entails. Addiction is complex and affects both the mind and the body. It is characterised by compulsive substance use or behaviours despite harmful consequences.
Addiction can take many forms, whether it's substance abuse, alcoholism, gambling, or even a compulsive behaviour like gaming or shopping. Regardless of the specific form, addiction can have devastating effects on an individual's physical health, mental well-being, relationships, and overall quality of life.
The Power of Addiction Therapy
Addiction therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach. It recognises that each individual's journey with addiction is unique and tailors treatment plans accordingly. At Sarah Collins Counselling & Addiction Therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to delve into the underlying causes of addiction and develop personalised treatment strategies.
One of the primary goals of addiction therapy is to help clients gain insight into the factors that contribute to their addictive behaviours. This can involve exploring past traumas, co-occurring mental health disorders, and environmental influences. By understanding the root causes, individuals can begin to heal and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
Whether you desire to cut down your use or abstain altogether, the choice is yours.
Whatever your goal, please get in touch. Take the first step by booking your free consultation with me, and I will guide you through the therapeutic process to the life you want to lead.
