I’m doing an MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy at London Metropolitan University.
I began volunteering at Abbington House in 2024, and I am now undertaking my clinical training here—a journey that feels deeply personal and meaningful to me.
I wholeheartedly believe in the transformative power of 12 Step recovery. I also understand that, for many people, recovery requires more than simply stopping the addictive behaviour. Therapy can help us uncover the pain, trauma, beliefs and underlying issues that have kept us trapped, creating the opportunity for genuine and lasting change.
I know this journey because I have lived it. I was once a hopeless addict who could not see a way out. Today, I am living with a sense of purpose, gratitude and hope for the future that I never believed was possible.
Recovery is possible, and there is a life waiting for you beyond addiction.
