Addiction Counseling

Service Description

🌿 Addiction Counselling & Therapy Upper North Shore, Northern Beaches Sydney plus Online Australia-Wide. Struggling with substance use doesn’t make you weak - it means something in your life has hurt too much, gone too fast, or felt too hard to face alone. Whether you’re battling alcohol, prescription medication, other substances or processes, we provide compassionate, confidential therapy tailored to women and girls seeking meaningful, lasting change. Why Women and Girls Struggle Differently - Addiction often looks different for women. It can come with layers of shame, secrecy, over-functioning, or masking emotional pain. Many women use substances not to “party” - but to cope, calm, numb, or survive. And for some, especially those with neurodivergent brains, substances can become a way to regulate intense sensory input, soothe chronic overwhelm, or temporarily quiet the mental noise. Whether you identify as neurodivergent (autistic, ADHD, sensory processing, etc.) or neurotypical, your story will be met with respect and deep understanding. We recognise that traditional models of addiction support don’t always work for everyone - especially if your brain, body, or trauma history hasn’t been well understood. How We Can Help - At our private therapy practice on Sydney’s Upper North Shore and Northern Beaches - and via telehealth across Australia -we offer personalised addiction counselling that goes far beyond behaviour change. Our approach is: Evidence-based and trauma-informed Neurodiversity-affirming and flexible Centred around trust, safety, and real connection Adapted to your sensory profile, emotional regulation, and unique life pressures You won’t be forced into a one-size-fits-all path. Instead, we work alongside you to build insight, self-compassion, emotional stability, and practical strategies for recovery.
