Addiction
Support with addiction and the feelings around it, alongside any other help you have.
Understanding addiction
Addiction can take many forms, including alcohol, drugs, gambling and other habits that feel hard to stop. It often grows out of trying to cope with something painful, and it can bring guilt, shame and strain on the people around you.
Counselling offers a non-judgemental space to explore what lies behind it and what you want for yourself. It can sit alongside support from your GP or a specialist service.
You might be experiencing
- Feeling unable to stop or cut down
- Using something to cope with difficult feelings
- Hiding how much you use from others
- Relationships, work or money being affected
- Feelings of guilt or shame
How counselling can help
There is no set way through this. Counselling gives you time and space to explore what is happening for you, at your own pace.
