Counselling can help you to learn strategies to challenge urges and eventually overcome addictions. Within this safe space, there is also the opportunity to explore what life events influenced the development of the addiction and factors are maintaining it. Support is provided to clients as they identify and make changes to remove triggers and improve coping skills.

Addiction treatment is a challenging and ongoing process that requires a lot of support. What is often helpful for clients is using a CBT approach or a DBT approach which has been shown with evidence-based research to help manage addiction. Some of the focusses in counselling with addiction is often to prevent relapse, have better communication, improve family relationships, discovering better and healthier ways to cope than using the addiction. We would also discuss other factors that can help manage the addiction, such as meditation, religious involvement, and others.

I provide support for those considering or determined to reduce or eliminate substances, problem gambling, or other compulsion. Whether the goal is cutting out the addictive behaviour or minimizing its impact, I work through motivational interviewing to help people access addiction treatment if needed.

Working through addiction can be a raw and difficult process, that often reveals the pain that the addiction was helping to disguise.
