Addiction Counselling & Psychotherapy Addictions come in number of guises, but can take a serious toll on physical and psychological health. Symptoms of addictions may include depression, panic attacks, sleep disturbance, obsessive-compulsive traits, deteriorating relationships and poor work performance. Many people with addictions consider their behaviour to be a craving, dependence or bad habit. If your day to day functioning or health is affected, or if the behaviour takes up a large amount of time or money, then you may benefit from addiction counselling and psychotherapy. What is Addiction Counselling, Psychotherapy & Psychiatry?
