Becoming better.
Have you been feeling a little unsettled and out of sorts recently? According to the World Health Organization (WHO), since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, anxiety and depression prevalence has increased by an alarming 25% globally. The pandemic disturbed our core belief, that we are safe in our communities, cities, countries, or even the world and I am noticing an increase in clients struggling with everyday life in a way that wasn't affected pre pandemic.
​
Counselling is not just for those working through severe disorders. Counselling can benefit everyone, helping to explore negative thought patterns and behaviours to work towards a greater sense of overall wellbeing and a balanced life.
​
Counselling is not a quick fix, it is a process of self development that equips you with powerful tools and techniques to help you navigate life with a more positive mindset.
About
Siân Oram, MSc Addiction Psychology & Counselling
As a professional accredited member of Federation of Drug and Alcohol Practitioners I specialise in working towards recovery from compulsive addictive behaviours and substance abuse.
​
I work with families and partners affected by addiction, abuse, neglect and abandonment and other dysfunctions.
​
Since 2014, I have worked with private clients, as well as counselling individuals with charities, such as Catalyst, and facilitating SMART recovery groups.
I am DBS certified by the Government to work with vulnerable adults and the Ministry of Her Majesty’s Prison & Probation Service for my voluntary work in prison, supporting substance abusers to work towards recovery from trauma and addiction.
​
Although my specialty is in addiction, I have also worked with many clients to help them navigate through life changes, stress, bereavement, low self esteem, depression, anxiety and phobias amongst other worries.
