When someone you care about has a drug or alcohol problem, or has done in the past, it’s natural to experience a range of difficult thoughts and feelings such as stress, anxiety, anger or guilt. Do you worry about your loved one’s alcohol or drug use so much that you can't focus on anything else? Do you feel responsible for your loved one’s behaviour or that you haven't done a good enough job at helping them to quit? Or perhaps you feel sad, angry, hurt or let down by the person in your life who is or has been drinking or taking drugs. Are you finding these feelings overwhelming and difficult to cope with? You're not alone!
I'm an experienced Clinical Psychologist and I specialise in helping adults to navigate the impact of a loved one's alcohol or drug use, develop coping tools, improve wellbeing and quality of life. In my 12 years of experience working and researching in NHS and third sector services, it has struck me how hard it can be for loved ones to get the right help.
Unfortunately, there are still misunderstandings, stigma and shame surrounding drugs, alcohol and addiction, but you don’t have to cope alone. I provide affected family, friends and partners with effective psychological strategies to help navigate challenges with compassion.

I work with clients who are struggling with stress, depression, anxiety, loss and other difficulties related to their relationship with someone who is drinking or using drugs, or who has done in the past. In the first few meetings we'll develop a shared understanding of your difficulties and what might be keeping them going. This provides a roadmap for how to tackle these difficulties in therapy.

It's important to find a therapist who is the right fit for you. I offer a free 20 minute video call (via zoom) to briefly discuss what is troubling you, whether I can help and give you an opportunity to ask any questions you might have. One size does not fit all when it comes to therapy! I draw on a range of evidence based therapies to adapt to the needs of the person I am working with.
