A white background with a few lines on it

You're not alone. Change is possible.

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 tailored support, you’ll develop practical strategies to manage cravings, cope with triggers, and make healthier choices. Counselling can 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 or those around you.


If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone and change is possible. We’ll work with you one-on-one to understand the reasons behind your use. Then, we'll develop a tailored management plan to reduce harm, improve health, and rebuild trust with the people closest to you.

Families, we're here for you too.

Watching someone you love struggle with substance use can be extremely distressing and isolating.


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.
