Approach

The practice uses an integrative approach combining evidence-based methods such as cognitive and behavioural techniques, motivational interviewing, trauma-informed care and couples work. Sessions are tailored to the individual’s needs and may include exploration of underlying drivers of behaviour, skills for managing cravings or distress, and relational repair strategies.

Treatment typically begins with an initial consultation (free 20-minute telephone or online session) to establish goals and a plan. Work can progress through weekly individual sessions, couples sessions, or group therapy focused on vulnerability, addictive behaviours, or men’s issues. The clinician emphasises collaboration, safety, and practical behaviour change alongside emotional processing.

They also provide therapeutic supervision for practitioners working with addiction, delivered both in person and online.
