Andrew Dettman - Addiction Counsellor founding Diction Resolution Therapy (DRT)
About me
In these times of great turbulence and change, many people are experiencing a general sense not only of powerlessness over the contextual events that are shaping the future of all the nations on Earth, but also perhaps an increasing sense of unmanageability in their personal life.
I have developed a new service for these times, which draws upon 85 years of evidence based principles that are specifically designed to heal and transform a person's life away from any such admissions of powerlessness and unmanageability.
I have introduced new treatment terms to allow healing words to forensically meet personal problems that can seem to baffle a person's language into a broken and empty place when trying to reach out for help.
My service treats the disease of stuck-addiction and broken-addiction as these two descriptors describe a will-power that either refuses to turn off easily or that simply can't be accessed at all in a personal executive function.
Many forms of depression and anxiety are actually rooted in this disconnection from healthy will power, a disconnect that can lead to a collapse of a person's life into a physical disrepair and a metaphysical disconnect.
There is a solution to the aforementioned collapses of stuck and broken behaviour and it is toward just such changes in behaviour should you identify with my words so far, that my service can be applied to.

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
