About My Work

Nick Vinyard

I am a qualified and experienced therapist who specialises in treatment for and recovery from addiction. I also have considerable experience as a front-line drugs and alcohol counsellor, having spent many years working within a residential rehabilitation clinic.

I am also an effective therapist and counsellor for anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, family issues, trauma, ADHD, lack of confidence, bereavement, social phobia, stress, compulsive and obsessive behaviours, OCD, life transitions, relationship issues and co-dependency. 
 
Substance addiction and addictive behaviours include alcohol, drugs (illegal and prescription), gambling, work, relationships, exercise, sex, pornography, social media, OCD, gaming, shopping, food and eating, the list could go on, whatever it is you do more of than you would like to be doing and is causing you distress or problems in your life, I can offer help. 
 
Addiction counselling involves treating the mind, body, and spirit. It is a holistic approach that can be directional, challenging, and instructive but can equally be empathic, relational, and compassionate. Firstly, I assist my clients to understand and hopefully accept their illness, before moving on to the effective treatment that is available to them. Then, if they genuinely desire to be free and can be open, honest, and willing to recover, there is a solution. 
 
Addiction does not only affect the addict; it affects everyone close to them, and family support and guidance can be an essential part of the process. Along with ongoing support and guidance for the client, there is considerable recovery support available within the community if you know where to find it. Ongoing aftercare services can be designed to meet the individual client's needs.
 
There is a solution. You can be free of your addiction, and you can live a happy, joyous, and free life; you do not have to live this way anymore; there is a proven and tested way out.
