About Addiction Care

Addiction Care based in Guildford Surrey helps clients on a 1-1 basis explore and obtain recovery from their addictive behaviours. Addiction Care treats all addictions – alcohol, recreational drugs, gambling, sex, porn, food, co-dependency, internet, social media, relationships, gaming, spending and work addiction.

Addiction Care in Guildford also offers a comprehensive Family Programme. The family often needs to understand the addictive behaviour – and to learn to understand the recovery process and also, and very importantly, to set boundaries.

Peter Davies is the therapist and helps clients by firstly conducting a thorough assessment of how the addictive behaviour is affecting the client’s life along with an honest look at the consequences.

Peter works mostly face to face – seeing people in a very bespoke and safe therapy room which is based in the centre of Guilford. Peter also offers zoom sessions for those clients that prefer the online availability.

All sessions are in total confidence. Confidentiality is key to the therapy.

The addiction is explored thoroughly. Peter also spends time to explore the triggers that lead to the craving and the using of the addictive process.

Peter helps clients to obtain sobriety for their behaviour and goes out of his way to introduce clients to recovery tools.

Once the client starts working with Peter then Peter pledges his availability 24 x7 for the client to text or call his mobile for a 10-minute chat to help the client ward of the craving they are feeling. This is not therapy at this time, it is just to allow the client to be heard and hopefully avoid a relapse. This offer is a lifetime commitment even after therapy ahs stopped. It is a genuine service and is unlimited and completely free of charge.
