Addiction Recovery in Surrey

Compassionate, evidence-based support for substance misuse and emotional healing

At The Practice, we understand that addiction is deeply personal and complex. Whether it’s related to substance misuse, alcohol dependency or behavioural addictions, the path to recovery is never one-size-fits-all. Over the years, research has offered multiple lenses through which we can understand addiction, ranging from early childhood trauma, emotional pain, and inner conflict to attachment issues, where individuals form strong bonds with substances that feel dependable and ever-present.

Some people may use drugs or alcohol to numb anxiety, suppress painful emotions or gain a fleeting sense of relief. Others may be “self-medicating,” in a search for peace, connection or control. As Helen Fisher’s work has shown, some substances even mimic the neurological patterns of love, reinforcing powerful emotional ties that are hard to break.

However you experience addiction, and whatever its root cause, you're not alone and you’re not broken. At The Practice, we offer expert-led addiction recovery services in Surrey, grounded in compassion, honesty, and clinical expertise. We recognise that your conscious mind may want change, while your unconscious patterns resist it. Our aim is to help you bridge that gap by giving you tools to regain control, build emotional resilience and move forward with intention.

Our therapists specialising in addiction recovery provide a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore the underlying causes of your behaviour, take responsibility for your healing and begin the process of lasting transformation. Whether you're dealing with addiction yourself or supporting a loved one, we’re here to walk alongside you at every stage of the journey.

We offer in-person and online addiction counselling throughout Surrey, including: Weybridge, Esher, Cobham, Kingston, Guildford, Woking, Walton-on-Thames, Epsom, Redhill, Leatherhead, Teddington, Sunbury, Chertsey, Camberley, and surrounding areas.

We also proudly meet the standards for the Education, Health, and Care (EHC) referral process and are currently accepting EHC plan referrals for young people requiring support with addiction, behavioural challenges, or mental health difficulties.

No matter what your path to recovery looks like, The Practice Psychological Services in Surrey is here to support you with empathy, professionalism, and unwavering care.
