Alcohol Use Therapists in Christchurch
I believe that addiction is a primary disease and that a person's other issues will stem from this fundamental problem. Therefore it's important to treat the addiction first. People with addiction often use alcohol and other drugs or behaviours to 'cope'. In the beginning the substance or the behaviour (such as sex addiction) was the 'solution', but after a while it became the problem. My approach is to offer therapy that is focused on a new, results-focused solution. The goal is offering my clients 'tools' so that they can change behaviour that is causing problems in their lives.

I am Mandy Paget; What I offer is being driven with a passion for walking beside my clients, for their growth and insight like I had received in my time of Therapy, working through Child Abuse, Sexual assault, and Mental and Physical abuse. Through my journey of rebuilding myself, I challenge my addiction to alcohol, my dangerous decision making, and my mental well-being. Now I like to think I am my unique self and am honest and, as some past clients have said, persistent. I recognise we are all different, and the strength I have is that I, too, have walked the path.
