Restitution is about restoring something to its rightful owner.
Due to challenging and changing times, with all its modern social infrastructure, it seems men have been stripped of their masculinity which was rightfully theirs. This has led to many men feeling…
Discontent
Misunderstood
Emasculated
Unable to fully express their true masculinity, some men have developed issues around drink and drugs, or process addictions such as gambling, shopping, internet, relationships, gaming, sex and pornography, work, exercise.
Invariably they would also develop issues around being unable to cope with stress and anxiety, having low self-esteem or self-worth, relationship difficulties, cultural or social issues, lacking an identity, not having a sense of belonging and lacking emotional intelligence; lacking boundaries and being unassertive.
All of which leaves men feeling disempowered.
ABOUT ME
With 25 years in addiction counselling, I’ve guided countless individuals to recovery.
I passionately believe that individuals have the inner resources to overcome their addictions and dependencies. I have not only witnessed this in others but have also overcome my own drug and alcohol addiction. Having underwent 6 months intensive rehab, I'm now over 27 years clean and sober and consider my main strength as working with a deep passion and belief.
My own life experience, particularly around recovery gives me a unique perspective and a greater empathy with my clients. Coming from a non-judgemental approach, I give encouragement but also gently challenge clients along the way for developmental change and personal growth.
Changing unwanted behaviour can be difficult at the best of times, but when alcohol and other substances are thrown into the mix, it can get very difficult to overcome.
I work primarily from the Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) stance along with Transactional Analysis (TA).
