Substance/Drug & Alcohol use
I feel this subject needs a dedicated page. This is because it can feel a risk to get professional help for substance use, particularly because some are illegal, and you may not be sure what the professionals response may be. There is an understandable fear of what the outcome might be in telling a professional or stranger about your substance use.
I work with professionals and young people helping them regain control. Whoever you are I do not judge, I help.
What is substance?
When a professional says substance they usually mean drugs, these could be common drugs such as amphetamine (speed), cannabis (weed/skunk), cocaine (Coke, Lemo' in Liverpool) or ecstasy (pills/tablets) or MDMA (Molly or MD'). However, it can mean other drugs such as alcohol, ketamine, nicotine 'legal highs'. More and more people are now approaching me for help with addictions to prescription medication such as benzodiazepines and opioids. Alcohol is also classed as a drug.
People who come to me for support with substance misuse/use usually want help with cocaine use, alcohol use or more recently cannabis and the effects of stopping after long term use. It's not just the drug/alcohol that is the problem, it's the trouble it causes in people's relationships.
If you are dedicated, want to commit to getting help, and make a change then give me a call and we can work together on it.
I now also integrate BSP technique which helps a person's internal nervous system, learn to regulate itself. This works across the spheres of consciousness and subconscious, so there is little required in the way of talking or 'thought challenging'.
Many therapies do not deal with the physical elements of substance use. Neuro-therapies that I employ go deeply, and quickly into the Reward part of the brain, where the feelings associated with the addiction/habit is formed. This helps the physical stress of giving up, and withdrawing from substances.
I also support people who are suffering because of their relationship with the person who is using substance etc.

- Sessions are £50.00 per session - sessions that are cancelled with less than 48 hours notice are charged for.
I don't know how it worked but I've now stopped using (cocaine) since we did Brainspotting.
It's helped me to stop and think.
