Addictions can develop when coping mechanisms for stress, pain, or difficult emotions become harmful and hard to control. Whether related to substances, technology, or behaviours, addiction can affect physical health, relationships, and self-esteem. At MC Consultancy, we provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore these challenges and develop healthier strategies for coping and recovery.
Substances: Alcohol, drugs, or medications that become relied upon to manage emotions or escape stress.
Behaviours: Gambling, gaming, shopping, or online use that begin to interfere with daily life.
Coping Patterns: Using avoidance, withdrawal, or unhealthy habits to deal with pressure or emotional pain.
Addictions often bring feelings of guilt, shame, or loss of control—but recovery is always possible.
We focus on helping you break free from harmful cycles while building resilience and healthier coping tools. Our approach may include:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): To identify triggers, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and build new responses.
Motivational Interviewing: Supporting you to strengthen motivation and commitment to change.
Coping Strategies: Practical techniques to manage cravings, stress, and difficult emotions more effectively.
Together, we work at your pace, helping you move toward recovery, balance, and a healthier way of living.
Confidential counselling and psychotherapy for individuals, families, and organisations.
