Alcohol
When Drinking Becomes a Problem
You don’t have to hit “rock bottom” to realise alcohol is getting in the way. Maybe you’re drinking more than you used to, regretting your behaviour, feeling anxious the next day, or noticing it’s affecting your energy, relationships or focus. You might have tried to cut back but found it hard to stick with. That’s where therapy can help.
How I Help People Who Want to Change Their Drinking
I offer a safe, non-judgemental space to look at what’s driving the habit. Whether it’s stress, boredom, trauma, or just routine, we’ll work on shifting your triggers and changing the way your brain responds. I use BWRT®, hypnotherapy, and practical strategies to support lasting change — no lectures, labels or pressure.
A Personalised Approach, Not a One-Size-Fits-All Plan
You won’t be told what to do or forced to quit on day one. Instead, we’ll explore what you want for yourself and create a plan that works with your lifestyle and goals. I can also support you in working alongside your GP, especially if withdrawal symptoms are a concern.
Why Online Therapy Works for Drinking Habits
Online sessions are private, flexible, and easy to access — no clinics, no judgement. You can speak openly from the comfort of your home and take the steps that feel right for you, at your pace.
What You’ll Gain by Cutting Back or Quitting
Therapy can help you sleep better, think more clearly, improve your mood, save money, and reconnect with people you care about. More than anything, it gives you back a sense of control and confidence that many people say they’ve been missing for a long time.
Frequently Asked Questions
No — you decide your goals. Some clients want to quit altogether, while others want to cut back. We’ll create a plan that supports what feels right for you.
Never. This is a safe, private space where you can be honest without fear. I focus on helping you understand your habits and make real, lasting changes — not on shame or blame.
Yes. Therapy can help you identify the triggers, habits and emotional patterns behind your drinking. With tools like BWRT® and hypnotherapy, we work directly with the part of your brain that drives the habit — so change feels more natural and achievable.
That’s very common — and it doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It just means you need the right kind of support. We’ll explore what hasn’t worked, why, and what to do differently this time.
Not always, but I do encourage you to have a general check-up — especially if you’re drinking heavily or thinking about stopping suddenly. I’m happy to work alongside your GP for extra support if needed.
