Addiction Therapy
Addiction is a near uncontrollable urge to engage in behaviour that is often destructive emotionally, physically or financially. Common addictions include substance abuse (drugs and alcohol), gambling, pornography, sex, shopping and food, but addictions are not limited to just these categories. I can work with you to help you identify your addiction and the underline issues that are causing you to engage in this behaviour. I will start with you on the road to recovery at a sensible pace – offering support every step of the way.
Eventually, your confidence will be boosted and you will have the momentum you need to stop yourself from slipping back into addictive patterns of behaviour.
Get in touch if you would like some support regarding addiction.

Anxiety / Stress / Depression
Anxiety can manifest itself in many forms, both mentally and physically. Stress and depression can make you feel isolated, irritable and create a sense of dread that affect all aspects of your life, and ultimately lead to poor health. If you feel nervous or tense at times, feel a sense of impending danger, put off things you need to do and avoid social events, then its time to talk to someone.
Anxiety and depression counselling will give you an outlet to voice your worries and concerns in a safe, judgemental-free environment, and with my help as a supportive guide, you manage and overcome your anxieties.

Bereavement
Losing a loved one is a devastating experience that we will all experience at some point in our lives, and for many of us, bereavement will be one of the most distressing experiences we will face. Everyone deals with grief differently, and some will take a lot longer than others to fully process their emotions.
My bereavement counselling service is designed to help you cope effectively with the loss of someone close to you by exploring any areas that are holding you back from moving on and addressing any conflict that has been left unresolved.
Get in touch with The Therapy Chair to discuss bereavement counselling.
