Alcohol, drugs and addiction
counselling for men

If you want to look at your drinking or drug use, we can discuss what has been happening, what it has meant for you and what support you want.

Addiction Professionals

Drug and alcohol counselling

I hold a specialist qualification in drug and alcohol counselling and am an Addiction Professionals Advanced Practitioner Member.

What you might want to discuss

For example:

  • Situations connected with drinking or drug use.
  • Effects on health, relationships, work or money.
  • A change you want to make and support already involved.

How I work with this

We can examine a recent example: what happened beforehand, what you were thinking and feeling, what you used and what followed. My training includes a specialist qualification in drug and alcohol counselling. We agree whether counselling or another service is appropriate.

My training and qualifications

Counselling for alcohol and drug concerns

Alcohol and drug use can be discussed in counselling at the published counselling rate. Counselling is not detox or withdrawal treatment. If you may be physically dependent on alcohol, contact your GP or alcohol service before stopping suddenly.

Before you book

Questions worth asking.

Do I have to admit I’m an addict before I can book?+
You can describe your concerns in your own words. We discuss the work you want to do and whether I can provide it.
Is the goal always to quit completely?+
Goals are discussed with you, alongside any medical advice. If you may be physically dependent on alcohol, seek medical advice before stopping suddenly.
What actually qualifies you to work on addiction specifically?+
I hold a specialist qualification in drug and alcohol counselling and am an Addiction Professionals Advanced Practitioner Member. My training is listed on the About page.
Will you tell my family or employer?+
I do not routinely contact family or employers. Confidentiality has safeguarding and legal limits, explained before we start.
Does addiction counselling include medical withdrawal care?+
No. Speak to your GP or local drug and alcohol service about withdrawal care. The coaching programme is also separate from medical treatment.
