I had many addictive behaviours that I used as a coping mechanism, and it took me many years and hours of therapy to realise this. I was using alcohol, cocaine, ketamine, MDMA, cannabis, technology and toxic relationship dynamics as an escape. Every morning, I promised myself it would be different, but by night, I was back in the same destructive loop. After many sleepless and lonely nights, with sickening thoughts running through my mind, I was in a very bad place. I would cry myself to sleep hoping there would be a way out. And there was. However, I was unaware at the time and told myself I could stop whenever. After hundreds of failed attempts, I decided enough was enough and sought professional help. In 2023 I re-trained to be a Cognitive Hypnotherapist at Quest Institute, which is a solution-based therapeutic approach. My clients have experienced life-changing breakthroughs that last. Solution-based therapy and coaching that works. After 750+ hours as both a coach and client, I understand the transformative power of therapy and coaching from the inside out. I completed the 3-month Addiction Inside Out training, where I learned the science of addiction and equipped myself with powerful tools to create real, long-lasting change. Now I'm ready to share my message!
