I have suffered with a gambling addiction since the age of 18, since working with Peter my life has changed in a way I never thought possible. Peter from the outset was professional, understanding, non judgemental, passionate and dedicated in his treatment to which I found extremely comforting. Peter has given me the tools, his commitment and experience which has enabled be to pursue a stress free life without gambling and all the associated adverse behaviours that come hand in hand with addiction. I see Peter on a regular basis and always come away with a spring in my step and further confidence that Peter is the right therapist for me to continue a clean career. Peter offers a 24/7 service in which at times of struggle he will always call and or text to offer his ongoing support and advice. I have my confidence back and this is thanks to Peter, I feel free and ready to conquer my goals. Thank You Peter.

At my absolute rock bottom, Peter lifted me up and helped me enormously in addressing the addictive behaviour that led me there. From my very first session, I felt confident that I could genuinely change by working with him. I have been seeing him regularly for five months, and the progress I have made in living a better life is far beyond what I thought possible. Peter also kindly wrote a character reference for my sentencing, which helped to illustrate my commitment to change to the judge. He does not simply indulge me by patting me on the back and telling me everything is okay. Instead, he helps me be honest with myself and others and pushes me to take accountability for my recovery.

Peter is as supportive as they come. I’m not sure where I’d be without him and his mentorship, mentorship that comes with lived experience, but without judgement. He has provided me with a framework to keep moving forward and, in difficult times, that is all a person could wish for.

Peter has helped and supported me for a while now with my problem drinking and also other aspects of my life that I have struggled with. Professional, caring, knowledgeable, and a gentleman. Peter provides personal, confidential support catered to the individual through both lived experience and specialist therapy. I can not thank and recommend Addiction Care enough.

What do you say about someone who was undoubtedly a huge part in saving your life? I can only re-iterate the other numerous comments on here, that without Peter, I probably wouldn’t be here. Not only did he help me so much, but he also helped my long suffering wife, showing us that there was a positive way forward. I’ve recommended him repeatedly and will continue to do so. It pains me to see so many people so in need of his help, but too scared or just having a refusal to accept help, and believing things can’t get better. They really can and Peter can help you get there, the same as he has helped so many others in similar situations. If you think it is possible that you might need help, you probably do. Try it. It might save your life.

Put simply: Peter saved my life. Highly recommended just give him a call and talk it through. He’s a wonderful human with an incredible amount of experience that related directly to my problems. He got me sober quickly then taught me how to stay that way.

Peter Davies provides his clients with an outstanding service. Through an amalgam of therapist, mentor and friend, his caring disposition puts one at ease to confide. With many years experience, he is a professional capable of helping combat a wide range of addictions and life struggles. Seeking help is a difficult step; but an invaluable step with Peter.

I was referred to Peter to try and work out why I was self-medicating. I found our chats very enjoyable, and he was the first person to connect the dots about mild bipolar. This was some twenty years down the line for me. He is a true professional.

Genuinely life changing and far more helpful than the supposed “best” private practices that charge over triple the price. I cannot say I would never be in the same position I am currently if I had not met Peter.

Peter has helped me immensely over the past year and I cannot recommend him enough. His warm, caring style is peppered with ‘tell it as it is’ directness and as he has helped me recover, his support has morphed into very wise counsel which I value very highly. Thank you, Peter, from the bottom of my heart, for getting me back to my old self so quickly!

I’d reached the point where I thought I was beyond help before meeting Peter in October 2019. Since then, he has played a pivotal role in turning my life around. He tells it exactly how it is, but he never makes the experience uncomfortable. He makes you think about your addiction in a way that enables you to gain back control. He is compassionate, caring and deeply understanding (not just of issues relating to addiction, but other personal problems too). I can’t thank him enough. And I can’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you Peter!

Peter has helped me enormously through some pretty hard and dark days in my life. His advice and methods were expertly blended to my needs in such a positive way, that most of the techniques I still refer back to today. Looking back on the experience I had and how I have come through, as a stronger, better person with his guidance and expertise. I can wholeheartedly recommend Peter to anyone struggling with addiction issues.

Peter was recommended to me when I was going through a really difficult time in my life. I have had counselling before and i felt it never really helped, so I was a little sceptical when arranging my first session with Peter. Fortunately all of my doubts disappeared as soon as I saw how kind, thoughtful and professional he was. He genuinely cared about my wellbeing and my future and I was so grateful to finally find someone who is unbiased and trustworthy who I could talk to about any aspect of my life. Peter has helped me tremendously in challenging times and has acted as a life coach when I have felt lost and needed guidance. I cannot recommend Peter enough to anyone who may need his services because he is a wonderful person and really is a professional in his field. Thank you Peter for changing my life.

I first met Peter Davies when I was in a particularly dark place and difficult situation, I am not the easiest person to work with and am often a skeptic of these sorts of therapies, as in the past I didn’t find them to have given me the result I needed. From start to finish, Mr Davies guided me through the process of making serious changes that have had a profound impact on my life, all for the positive. His genuine interest in his clients, comfortable atmosphere and location in which he conducts sessions make the process less daunting. I would recommend anyone who was in need of his services to reach out to him, I’m certain he can help you as he helped me.

I first met Peter in early 2017. He was recommended to me by my Consultant.
I had just come out of a treatment centre and I felt that I still need some help. I had previously been in treatment and had succumbed to my addiction after just over a year. I really needed to begin a recovery process that was going to make a big impact this time, as I was desperate.
Peter immediately “got it”. He completely understood me and my addiction. He coached me and advised me in a very unique way. He told me what I did not want to hear, but put it in a way that I accepted. Not an easy task as I can be very difficult at times. He empathised, not judged. I can tell him absolutely anything. Nothing phases him. He has taught me how to lead a normal decent life free of pain and terror.
If you are suffering from a terrible addiction I would suggest that you talk to Peter as it could make living your life a much nicer place to be in.

I started seeing Peter around 6 months ago for help in overcoming my addiction to alcohol. His fresh approach was a welcome relief and gave me renewed determination after several years of struggling, and failing, to stay sober. I had attended numerous extensive (and expensive) therapy programmes and endless AA meetings, but continually relapsed when I returned to my home environment. I had started to believe that a future without drinking was unachievable, and I was exhausted by the constant battles with my alcoholic self and with others. Peter’s approach restored my confidence and gave me hope; his frank but friendly attitude invites honest self-appraisal. Within weeks of seeing him I was sober, and have remained so, easily and willingly. For the first time in years I feel genuinely balanced, healthy and secure in my sobriety, in spite of facing some challenging situations as I structure my new life. These days my sessions with Peter are about discussing the future, rather than raking over the past.
Thanks again for all your help.

I have been having one on one sessions with Peter for nearly a year now and I have found Peter to be insightful, supportive and very understanding of my needs. Peters counselling has improved my well being and has made me a much calmer person in both my personal and professional life. I can’t thank Peter enough for all his help and guidance and I hold him in the highest regard

I never thought my 20yr addiction to alcohol could be broken, as I had received counselling before. My sessions with Peter however,lady2 have finally allowed the next phase of my life to continue free from drink and Sober. With his understanding and valuable insight into exactly how I felt, I have also managed to repair an important relationship with my Sister which I did not think was possible. I will be forever grateful for his help

“Peter’s been amazing. Four months in he’s helped me gain complete control of my drinking, and we have started to work on the rest of me now. When I first met with Peter I immediately felt at ease. He is friendly and personable, and completely non-judgemental. His combination of professionalism and genuine interest in my situation means that he remembers what I tell him week to week in far more detail than anyone else I’ve seen. It’s impressive. Needless to say, I would recommend anyone struggling with an addiction to give Peter a try.”

Addiction Care taught me I have an addictive personality manifesting in drinking, spending, smoking, eating, dieting and exercising. I only came with an alcohol problem! My addictive behaviours are mirrored back to me accurately in session. Addiction is about repeating the same behaviors and recovery is about changing them bit by bit until we get out of the time worn tracks and onto a new path to freedom. Coming to Addiction Care feels like I have been on a perilous adventure but have ‘come home’.

I met Peter (Davies) very soon after I hit my own rock bottom following 40 years of drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. He was the first person I’d met who I felt understood me. I felt safe and safe enough to sign up for an addiction treatment programme and start my journey of recovery. That was two years ago. I’ve had my fair share of life’s problems since then but I am present and living my life. I continue to see Peter & Pamela/his team on an ad hoc basis and they offer and provide the help and support I need to find the balance to live life on life’s terms. It’s so worth it.

I have been seeing Peter Davies regularly for two years, and have found him to be highly experienced not just in addiction therapy, but all areas of life. He is also patient, kind and honest. It would be no exaggeration to say Peter has transformed my life. (Thank you!).

After dabbling in and out of therapy, Peter was recommended to me. Whilst I was nervous about seeing an ‘addiction’ counsellor, I gave it a go. I have found Peter to bring a refreshingly simple but powerful approach to helping me understand the nuts and bolts of why I have been behaving the way I have. He has an immense skills in being able to translate what seems horribly complex in my head to something crisp and clear. It is early days for me, but Peter has helped me take a significant step in rediscovering my self-worth both emotionally and professionally. I would not hesitate in recommending Peter to anyone struggling from anxiety and depression, whether or not this is resulting in addictive behaviour.

I have been on a journey from addiction and despair to happiness and sobriety. Peter has been my companion on this journey, offering guidance and encouragement in a thoughtful and inspiring way. I have no hesitation in recommending Addiction Care.

“I have gone for therapy a few times in the past but none of it helped me in the right way, what I truly needed was to see an addiction therapist and thankfully I found Addiction Care as my life was not headed in a good way. Peter at Addiction Care is really skilled at what he does and has helped me so much. I have found the right balance in my life and feel happy and content now. Peter helped me work through deep seated issues that went as far back as my childhood, these mostly fuelled my excess drinking and a few other addictive processes. I feel a sense of freedom from the past, as a result I am able to face the future with confidence now because my present life is settled and stable. I highly recommend Addiction Care for anyone who turns to substances to cope with their life to be able to be set free from these problems with a lasting effect.”

F.R.

Addiction Care has provided excellent, compassionate support for me in my continuing journey of recovery from alcohol addiction. My therapist, Peter, is able to put me at ease so that I feel able to discuss issues openly, but he is also able to challenge me in a sensitive manner which is what I need to understand the past and to see my path forward more clearly. My weekly sessions with Peter are my anchor at present. I am not only receiving the practical support I need but feel someone understands and cares.

“We all deserve to be happy, but with the pressure of daily life and society it is easy to lose our way and choose the wrong path, leading
to confused, mixed up and self-destructive additive behaviour. I know because I was there, before turning to Peter several months ago. The answers to all our issues lie within, we just need guidance and help to find them. Peter has given me this, I regard him not just as a therapist, but a confident and a friend, I cannot recommend his services highly enough, he has helped me to turn my life around, as he can yours, all you need is the confidence to start on the road to recovery”.
