Addiction Counselling & Therapy
Addiction - Introduction
Therapists and psychologists who can support you when you suffer from addiction.
Addiction is a difficulty in controlling certain repetitive behaviours to the extent that they have harmful consequences. This repetitive behaviour is a result of powerful compulsions to use and do certain things excessively, often out of a need to escape from upsetting emotions/situations.
It can trigger a self-perpetuating process, which can cause pain and suffering not only for those addicted, but also for their friends and family.
Generally an addiction is defined as a habit that has become out of control to the extent that the sufferer is dependent on it for coping with daily life.
Addiction treatment
There are several kinds of addiction, including:
- Alcohol and drug abuse
- Food addiction
- Gaming addiction
- Gambling problem
- Internet addiction
- Smoking
- Social media addiction

- Workaholic
- Sex/porn addiction
