About me and my practice

I aim to offer practitioner led 1:1 and online facilitator led peer group sessions, which use a combination of motivational interviewing and CBT-based techniques to facilitate health behaviour change for the purpose of harm reduction of non-opiate substances. The primary focus of sessions is to reduce harm from specifically non-opiate drugs and alcohol e.g. cannabis, cocaine, ketamine and alcohol, using a goal-oriented approach.

Outline of offer

The purpose of this approach is to facilitate some change in any or all of these areas, for the overall goal of reducing harm from problem substances for health and social well-being through individual and group based interventions.
