Addiction and Abuse
Substance Abuse and Addiction
A skilled and trained counsellor, working in conjunction with other resources and multidisciplinary team members, can form a trusting and therapeutic relationship with person(s) suffering addictions. They can assist the individual and their family in dealing with such issues as denial, cravings, recovery, relationship repair, relapse prevention, spirituality, and eventual freedom from addiction.
At Associates Counselling, we have skilled counsellors to help make sense of the addictive process, and to help people move towards recovery.
Sexual Abuse
Sexual abuse survival involves healing the past abuse. No matter what type of sexual abuse (whether incest or by a stranger) or how tragic its consequences, acceptance of the past is vital to not only surviving, but to overcoming. Typical responses may include self-blame, trying to ignore it or pretend it didn’t happen, being distant, isolating yourself, becoming aloof, or being excessively outgoing to cover up the hurt and shame.
If you are a sexual abuse survivor and its after-affects still adversely affect your life, a trained counsellor can help you address present-day symptoms and move beyond the past.
