Approaches
CBT, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic

Alcohol counselling in Saint Davids addresses the underlying psychological factors that drive drinking — anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, workplace stress. The most evidence-based approaches are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which identifies and changes patterns of thinking that lead to drinking, and Motivational Interviewing (MI), which builds intrinsic motivation for change. Both are available free through NHS alcohol services in Saint Davids.

If you are physically dependent on alcohol, counselling should follow or run alongside a medically supervised detox — it is not a replacement for it. For those with harmful or hazardous drinking (not full physical dependency), counselling alone can be highly effective. Your GP can refer you to NHS alcohol counselling in Saint Davids, or you can self-refer by calling Frank (0300 123 6600).
