Addiction Therapy in Cornwall

What is addiction?

Addiction is a complex condition characterized by compulsive engagement in a substance or behavior, despite harmful consequences. It affects the brain’s reward system, leading to cravings and the inability to control usage. Whether it’s substance addiction (alcohol, drugs, or nicotine) or behavioral addiction (gambling, internet use), the impact can be devastating on relationships, health, and overall well-being.

Do you struggle with addiction?

If you feel like your substance use or addictive behavior has become unmanageable, affecting your relationships, work, or health, therapy can help. Addiction often leads to feelings of guilt, shame, and denial, making it difficult to acknowledge the problem or seek help. However, with the right therapeutic support, you can break free from the cycle of addiction.

Common signs you might need therapy for addiction

Here are some common signs that suggest therapy could help you overcome addiction:

  • Inability to stop despite multiple attempts to quit.
  • Withdrawal symptoms when trying to reduce or stop the behavior.
  • Escalating tolerance, needing more to achieve the same effect.
  • Secrecy or lying about the behavior to others.

Testimonials

  • I started my therapy with Angela around 6 months ago now and it’s been life changing to say the least. With my personal journey I’ve had a number of traumas which had caused hold backs and blockages within life and so far Angela has helped me through with hypno therapy to change my core beliefs and in turn my mindset with life. Angela was actually recommended to me and I’m passing on that recommendation now also. The practise is welcoming and Angela herself is lovely, she has a calming energy, relaxing voice, and a safe space for you to heal. I’m very grateful to have found such an amazing therapist.
  • Deciding to find a counsellor has been one of the best decisions I have made because, I found Phil. For me it has been an extraordinary journey. From the first email I knew I was in the right place. Making time to see me where there is no time , welcoming and friendly I genuinely cannot speak highly enough of Phil and would recommend him, with out hesitation to any one seeking the same help as I did.
  • Dr. Johanneke is wonderful! I have had two sessions with her and the insights I have gained are invaluable. She is passionate, caring and truly has a gift to help others.
