First of all, to help you understand whether it is Addiction that you are experiencing, here is some helpful information that will guide you. Below that I have outlined some of the treatment options that I can offer you.
What is Addiction?
Addiction is a medical term reflecting a severe dysfunction within the areas of the brain that govern motivation, memory, and reward. Addiction can be to substances, or behaviours. Substances does not just mean “drugs” as one of the most common addictions is food. Addicts will show an obsessive or compulsive need for ‘reward’ with little or no concern for the consequences.
Addicts may display a lack of self-control, emotional responses, or care for how their behaviour impacts others. It is clear that addiction can have a seriously detrimental impact on your daily life.

Treatment for Addiction
If you’re looking for treatment for Addiction near Aberdeenshire, it is crucial to realise that no single treatment fits all. The treatment that will be best for you is one that will be based upon a detailed understanding of what stresses you are experiencing, the lifestyle choices that you have made (or are seeking), and how your mind links with your body to generate the symptoms you suffer from. The first stage of any treatment is working with you to understand these vital factors.
It is, of course, very likely that a combination of treatment protocols will suit your unique circumstances rather than simply adopting one strategy. The key to my approach is to develop a deep understanding of your personal needs and circumstances and to adapt the treatment approach as your own needs change through the treatment process.
Here are three examples of treatment for Addiction that I offer:
Coaching as a Treatment for Addiction near Aberdeenshire
A central belief underpinning coaching is that we possess inner wisdom and have all answers within us. The coach is there to help you access them, using various techniques such as NLP (neuro-linguistic programming), talking therapies, journaling, and mindfulness meditation.
Coaching is beneficial because it provides clarity whenever you feel confused about your issue, are stuck in a pattern, struggle to make a change, or see no direction or hope. It will help you get motivated, raise your self-awareness, understand and change your thinking patterns, perceptions, and behaviours and learn new skills.

Voicing what happens in your mind and how it makes you feel and behave will help you make sense of your troubles and their source and notice unhelpful patterns. Understanding all this, combined with therapeutic techniques, can help you make positive changes, take greater control of your life and improve your awareness and confidence.
Cognitive-Emotional therapies can help with difficult life events such as loss, relationship problems, painful past events, destructive feelings such as anger, low self-esteem or shame, mental health problems, and long-term physical health ailments.
