What we provide

We provide one to one and couples therapy. We also provide counselling for family members, which is often particularly helpful for clients with alcohol problems. This is particularly the case when considering alcohol rehab or addiction treatment.

We provide therapy services for post graduate students at Canterbury University and students at Christchurch University in Kent. on a private basis. We do not take NHS referrals.

We are trained in various schools of therapy. David Goodlad is an expert on alcohol issues, addiction treatment and rehab services.  David Goodlad is an Accredited Integrative Psychotherapist. You can call today for an appointment on 01227 290 098

Psychotherapy

In addition to counselling we also provide long term psychotherapy. We are accredited and registered. We help our clients look at the deeper issues, such as loss, betrayal, grief and the root causes of addiction. We can help put to rest the past and settle fears and trauma. Psychotherapy often requires a longer term commitment from a client. The psychotherapist needs to be able to hold a long term relationship. Psychotherapy demands the psychotherapist to be able to go with the client anywhere the clients dialogue takes them, no matter how upsetting it is to hear.

Addiction

Addiction takes many forms. Most importantly whether it is process based addiction (e.g. gambling or porn use) or an indigestible addiction (alcohol or other substances) we can help you stop the habit. Often people are surprised just how simple the change process is from addiction, once they grasp it. There is a way out of addiction. The first step is to listen to your voice telling you because then is the best time to do something about it.
