Addiction, recovery and love addiction

Addiction can take many forms: a substance, a process or behaviour, or another person. Whatever its shape, it often begins as a way of surviving something that felt unbearable.

I work with substance addictions and process addictions, including love addiction. I also have knowledge of the twelve-step movement. I also know the journey of recovery from within, which allows me to sit alongside clients without judgement.

Love addiction

Love addiction is a process addiction. It is not simply a hunger for another person. Often it is a deeper longing, for safety, for wholeness, for something greater, placed upon a human face. My MA research, From Love Addiction to the Search for the Beloved, explored this longing through Psychosynthesis.

What we might work on

  • Addiction recovery
  • Process addictions, including love addiction
  • Relapse and self-compassion
  • Rebuilding routines and a sense of self
