​UK-wide Drugs Counselling / Support

Since working so much more by video-call and telephone, due to the pandemic, I am now able to offer UK-wide counselling and support for those struggling with drug addiction. See the 'Fees' section below for a new set of counselling options, including    messaging support, which can if necessary be  tailored further to your needs. 

I can now offer drugs counselling:
  • in-person in NW5 London (socially-distanced) 
  • by video call
  • ​by telephone

I can also offer drugs support (during detox / reduction / moderation):
  • by video call
  • by telephone
  • using WhatsApp or other messaging services

If you have a problem with drugs and you want to talk about your use, we can arrange an initial session in-person, by video or telephone to assess your situation and your needs.  To enquire about this, please complete the contact form below.

​There are too many possible scenarios for me to outline here because people’s drug use, problems and personal situations vary so much, but an initial assessment in-person, by video-call or telephone, will help me get a better sense of what your problem looks like, what you want to do about it, and give you an idea of what I can do to help you.

It may be that you can’t reduce or detoxify from your drug use without experiencing very unpleasant   physical withdrawal symptoms.    In this  case, I could help you explore      medical support from private or local NHS-funded services to get you appropriate care in tandem with  our counselling.

Drugs Counselling and Support is aimed at those who are using:​
  • cocaine
  • opiates (heroin,   morphine, codeine, buprenorphine etc)
  • cannabis
  • amphetamines 
  • ecstasy/MDMA
  • so-called   'legal-highs' (many of which are now  illegal)

...with the intention of:
  • detoxing
  • abstaining in the short term or indefinitely
  • moderating or controlling their use.
