In therapy, we will together gently explore the emotional pain and triggers that contributed to your substance use. This understanding can help you to grasp the depth of your addiction and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Mourning the loss of addiction can feel like grieving a death, providing a sense of closure that’s necessary for moving forward, and engaging with recovery.
People with substance use disorders report unresolved grief as a contributing factor.
Children in the UK are bereaved of a parent before age 16 each year, increasing vulnerability to later substance misuse.
Of people in addiction recovery say grief or trauma played a major role in their addiction journey.
Adults in the UK experience complicated grief, many of whom seek counselling support.
I offer compassionate support to individuals grappling with addiction following the loss of someone close to them. My aim is to provide you a safe and nurturing space where with the right conditions you can begin to process the complex emotions associated with losing someone.
In this environment, I believe individuals can find the strength to heal, grow, and rediscover hope during this challenging period in your life. By fostering a supportive and understanding atmosphere, I strive to help you to navigate your journey towards recovery and resilience.
