Historically, addiction has referred to substance or chemical dependency, such as alcohol, tobacco or prescription or illegal drugs, yet it’s use as a term has changed over the years to include addiction to gambling, food, computers, internet or more. Whatever the addiction, professional counselling from a friendly and reliable counsellor is known to help in many ways.
As a professional I have experience of working with many types of addiction having worked as a counsellor at The Jatis Project a drug and alcohol abstinence programme based in Torquay, and have a reliable, friendly, yet professional approach to all types of counselling and therapy.
