Counsellor Profile
Qualified addictions counsellor specialising in alcohol/drug and other addiction issues. Over 7 years rehab experience specialising in addiction treatment.I have many years of personal recovery and experience of counselling.
Training, Qualifications & Experience (more info)
I have a foundation degree in addiction counselling from the University of Bath and I am a member of FDAP (Federation of Drug and Alcohol Professionals). My training includes CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), MI (Motivational Interviewing) and RP (Relapse Prevention). I have over 7 year’s fulltime experience of working in rehabs specialising in addiction treatment.
In addition to working with addiction I also work with dual diagnosed clients - those who are experiencing mental illness as well as addiction issues. I don't offer magic cures but I have experience of facilitating symptom relief and learning to live with a different perspective on the world rather than against it which; reduces anxiety, improves esteem and can reduce symptoms. I have worked in many different mental health settings.
