A Trauma-Informed Approach
Substance use in young people is often linked to emotional distress, relationship difficulties, or broader life challenges.
My work in this area is trauma-informed and focused on understanding the underlying factors contributing to alcohol or other drug use, supporting harm minimisation, emotional wellbeing, and safer decision-making.
"If alcohol or other drug use is a concern and you would value a trauma-informed, non-judgemental space to explore what's going on, you are welcome to get in touch to discuss possible ways forward."
Harm Minimisation
Harm minimisation and safer decision-making strategies tailored to the young person's circumstances.
Emotional Drivers
Exploring the emotional, relational, and environmental factors contributing to alcohol or other drug use.
Co-occurring Mental Health
Addressing mental health difficulties that often co-occur with substance use in young people.
