Understanding Addiction Counselling
Addiction can take many forms—substances, behaviours, or patterns that feel impossible to break free from. Dependence on any harmful substance can lead to addiction, so it could be food, chocolate, coffee or porn addiction. It often impacts every area of life, including relationships, work, and personal well-being. Addiction counselling provides a safe and supportive space to explore the underlying causes of unhealthy habits and develop strategies for lasting change. Sonia’s compassionate and holistic approach focuses on helping clients regain control and rebuild a life aligned with their values.
What to Expect from Addiction Counselling
In your sessions, Sonia will guide you in understanding the factors contributing to your unhealthy behaviours. Together, you’ll identify triggers, explore patterns, and develop practical tools for managing urges and making healthier choices. Sonia incorporates evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices to help clients reframe negative thought patterns and develop coping strategies. When appropriate, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and trauma-focused approaches can address deeper emotional wounds tied to addictive behaviours.
