What is counselling and how can it help me?
Recovering from your addiction and moving forward with your life can be an extremely daunting process. Many addicts have nobody to turn to or are surrounded by other users making it harder to initiate and maintain change. Counselling is a way of talking and reflecting about your problems within the context of a relationship and a safe environment. It can often help to bring a fresh perspective and provide you with the support and motivation that you need to move forward.

What type of counselling is it?
How you deal with your problems is decided jointly between you and a counsellor and will depend on what stage you are at in your addiction. Counselling can vary from providing basic support and listening to a more solution focused approach using cognitive behavioural strategies to help deal with issues such cravings, preventing relapse, dealing with setbacks and frustration, anxiety, depression, and any negative thinking which might get in the way of your recovery process. Counselling can also take a more in depth and exploratory approach if you are interested in gaining a deeper understanding about the origins and causes of your addiction or you might want to take a combined approach. You decide what is right for you.
