How I Can Help
Reducing or stopping alcohol use
Drug use and dependency concerns
Managing cravings and preventing relapse
Harm reduction and safer-use planning
Mandated and court-related counselling
Support for families affected by substance use
You do not need to identify as having an addiction or commit to abstinence before attending counselling. We will begin with your concerns, circumstances and personal goals.
What Happens in Your First Session?
01
We begin where you are
You can share what has brought you to counselling and what you would like help with. There is no pressure to tell your whole story immediately.
02
We explore your current situation
Together, we can discuss your alcohol or drug use, wellbeing, important relationships, risks, strengths and existing supports.
03
We identify your goals
Your goals may include stopping, reducing your use, minimising harm, managing cravings or understanding the reasons behind your substance use.
04
We consider your next steps
Together, we will discuss practical strategies and whether further counselling would be helpful.
No referral is required. Sessions are confidential and conducted online.
