A Message from Steve Pope

Hello,

With many years experience treating addicts and addictive personalities, I have seen what supportive counselling and close, monitored psychotherapy can achieve – in London, Lancashire and beyond. The techniques used to help a substance abuser can also help someone suffering severe depression, anxiety, or eating disorders.

In the same way that we can recover from a negative situation, so we can train our minds to achieve great things. I have coached sports people and teams to focus on winning, and have also helped individuals attain ambitious life goals in business.

Our main area of counselling expertise lies in treating addiction. Our unique Lancashire-based addictions treatment programme – Patients 4 Patients - has developed out of years of counselling experience in the field following contact with all forms of addiction. It offers both individual counselling and group therapy to support you in your journey and give you the best possible chance for a successful outcome - a happy and healthy life, with less abuse of yourself and others. If you are suffering or hurting, please pick up the phone and call me.

Wishing you every success on your journey.

Steve Pope B.A. (Hons) Grad. Dip. BACP
