Conflict resolution & addictionS
treatment

Drug and alcohol addictions remain the most commonly treated addictions and compulsions. At Optimistic Counselling, a collaborative effort between therapist and client is used to develop goal-directed behaviours to break free from addictive behaviours and achieve a better quality of life. This involves substituting positive behaviours through conscious planning of tasks to create a sense of empowerment and purpose. Approaches vary on an individual basis, but may include 12-step approaches or a harm reduction model, developing future with a focus on encouragement, education, and training from an expert.

Insightful and dynamic approaches are also used in conflict resolution, whether in professional settings or within families. Interventions incorporate research in social and organisational psychology to encourage understanding and peaceful negotiation.
