Addiction under prolonged stress

Years of instability, financial collapse and uncertainty take a toll, and for many people alcohol or drugs become the way they get through. What begins as relief becomes the thing that cannot be stopped. Addiction is rarely only about the substance; it is usually managing something underneath, anxiety, trauma, grief, the strain of holding a life together in difficult conditions. The work addresses that underlying layer, not only the behaviour.

What is treated

Alcohol dependency, including high-functioning presentations; cocaine and stimulants; prescription medication; gambling and behavioural addiction; and sex and pornography addiction. Recovery is treated as a long-term process that works with the psychological drivers and the trauma the addiction was often managing, drawing where helpful on EMDR. Sessions are private, on your schedule and in your timezone. Nothing is disclosed to any employer, family member or third party without your explicit consent.
