REHAB IS NOT FOR EVERYONE
PSYCHOLOGICAL TREATMENT FOR ADDICTIONS ~ LONDON EC1 & W1
City Addictions is a partnership of specialist Consultant Psychologists providing one-to-one treatment for a whole range of substance and behavioural addictions. Our evidence-based treatment integrates CBT with a mindfulness-based approach to relapse prevention.
We have extensive experience in helping people get clear of addictions — by understanding how their problems are maintained, and discovering new ways of responding to thoughts and feelings that promote a commitment to long term payoffs, in preference to the gratification of immediate urges.

The Alternative To Rehab
As a high functioning addict, you may not be willing take a month out of work and life for rehab, or reveal all within a 12 step group. While rehab is entirely appropriate in some cases, we provide an alternative approach to help individuals overcome addiction within the context of their everyday lives.

EVIDENCE BASED
CBT For Addictions
We treat individuals using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) which is proven to work for addictions. CBT assumes that learned behaviour and habitual thinking patterns play an important role in the development and persistence of addiction, and changing these patterns can help individuals break their addiction and move forward.

Logical & Pragmatic
Psychological Formulation
Central to the way we work is the ‘psychological formulation’ – a diagnostic and analytical tool which explores in detail each individual’s situation, and what’s really going on. It reveals the triggers, drivers and contributing factors that led to and sustain the addiction, and helps us understand how to treat it most effectively.

EFFECTIVE & PROVEN
Relapse Prevention Strategies
There are two effective approaches to relapse prevention, and we employ a combination of the two. The first is a practical, CBT-based approach. The second applies the practice of mindfulness to develop a calm awareness of urges and the ability to experience discomfort without giving in to them.
