My Approach
A Compassionate Approach to Chemsex Recovery
My work in this area is deeply informed by lived and professional experience. I understand the unique pressures and complexities of the scene. We won’t just focus on the substance use; we’ll compassionately explore the underlying reasons it has a hold-the search for intimacy, the management of shame, or the escape from pain. This is about building a life where you don’t feel you need chems to cope or connect.
Our Sesssions
What we can explore together:
Moving Beyond Dependency
Understanding the cycle of use, managing cravings, and developing healthier, grounded ways to cope with stress, anxiety, or loneliness.
Reclaiming Intimacy and Pleasure
Gently exploring how to reconnect with your body and your sexuality, facing fears that sex might feel different or less intense without chems.
Transforming Shame into Self-Compassion
Working through the heavy weight of stigma and self-criticism to build a kinder, more accepting relationship with yourself.
Healing Underlying Wounds
Recognising how chemsex may have helped you manage difficult emotions or past trauma, and finding new tools to process and heal those root causes.
Rebuilding Connection
Repairing trust in your relationships and finding ways to form meaningful, authentic connections that exist beyond the chemsex scene.
Crafting a New Sense of Self
Exploring who you are outside of this chapter, and building an identity and a life filled with purpose, authenticity, and fulfilment.
Your Path, Your Recovery
Recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all. For some, it’s about abstinence; for others, it’s about harm reduction. My role is to offer a safe, confidential space to understand your experience and support you in finding the path that feels genuinely right for you.
