Psychology service for cutting back on alcohol

Helping you bridge the gap between the difficult place you are currently in and where you would like to be in your life. .

  • Is alcohol pulling you away from the things that matter the most, like your health, work, family or relationships?

  • Are you experiencing difficult thoughts or feelings such as stress, worry, anxiety or depression that feel impossible to deal with without drinking alcohol?

  • Perhaps you feel that you need to drink to have a good time, cope with negative thoughts or to feel confident.

  • Perhaps you feel good when you're drinking but feel terrible during the hangover and start to beat yourself up.

  • Or drinking has become a habit and you don’t get any pleasure from it anymore but find it difficult to stop.

  • Do you feel ready to change your relationship with alcohol?

  • If your drinking impacting your quality of life, therapy might be a good option for you. 

    I'm an experienced Clinical Psychologist and I am passionate about helping adults take back control of their drinking by understanding what is keeping them stuck, breaking out of unhelpful patterns, and developing alternative coping strategies for dealing with life’s challenges.

Free Introductory Call

The decision to seek therapy can feel daunting. Especially because of the stigma attached to alcohol related difficulties. It's important to find a therapist who is the right fit for you. I offer a free 20 minute video call (via zoom) to briefly discuss what is troubling you, whether I can help and give you an opportunity to ask any questions you might have. If we decide that it would be useful to work together,  the next step would be to book an initial consultation.

Initial Consultation

Fees £130 per session

No two recovery journeys are the same. In our first couple of meetings I will learn more about your difficulties and your goals for therapy and we'll come to a shared understanding of what has contributed to your difficulties and what might be keeping the problem going. This provides a guide or a roadmap for the best way to tackle your difficulties in therapy.  We will revisit this roadmap as we go along.

We will agree to meet regularly (usually weekly) for 50 minutes to work on your therapy plan. Currently, I am offering sessions online via zoom on Wednesdays, and Fridays and limited in-person sessions in Clapham, South West London. Therapy provides A confidential space to talk about your difficulties and understand them better. Through the 1:1 sessions and between-session tasks, you will develop practical tools and techniques to help you manage difficult feelings and navigate life's challenges
