Most people know when they have a problem whether they admit it to others or not. They have most likely been told that their behaviour is excessive by those around them. You might feel shame or guilt, or have unwanted consequences. I offer a non-judgemental approach to getting your life back on track and becoming the person you were meant to be.
Full blown addictions need specialist medical and psychological interventions so it depends on how severe they are as to whether I can help or not. I tend to work with people who are still functioning, yet they can see that their lives are becoming out of control.
People with sugar addictions tend to come and see me under binge eating disorders, while people who are addicted to their phones or gaming come to see me about procrastination.
With smoking it is a clear 2 session process and I have 97% success rate so far.
For other addictions, where the pleasure reward circuitry has been altered I use a mixture of cognitive behaviour techniques reinforced with hypnosis to make changes. Sometimes it is necessary to go to the root cause and look at emotional issues that the addiction has been temporarily trying to relieve.
Whatever, your problem you will find that a tailored solution focused approach will help you take back control.
