A white background with a few lines on it

You're not alone. Change is possible.

Our counselling for substance dependence provides a safe, non-judgmental space to explore the factors contributing to substance use and its impact on your life and relationships.


Through individually tailored support, you’ll develop practical strategies to manage cravings, cope with triggers, and make healthier choices. Counselling will also help address underlying emotional or psychological issues, strengthen motivation for change, and rebuild confidence and resilience. Whether you’re seeking to reduce use, maintain sobriety, or prevent relapse, professional support can guide you toward lasting, positive change.

Signs of substance dependence.

It can be hard to know when recreational alcohol or drug use becomes harmful to you and those around you.


If any of these mentioned behaviours sound familiar, you may have reached a problematic stage of use. We’ll work with you one-on-one to understand how you got to this point and how you can move forward. We'll develop a tailored management plan to reduce harm, improve health, and rebuild trust within yourself and the people closest to you.

Families, we're here for you too.

Living with someone you love who struggles with substance misuse can be extremely stressful and isolating, particularly if you have to carry the load in the family.


We support partners, parents, siblings, and adult children affected by a loved one’s substance use. Counselling helps you gain insight and personal awareness, set boundaries, communicate effectively and prioritise your own wellbeing.

Small steps can lead to real change.
