Complex family relationships
Growing up with a parent who drank can leave deep marks. You do not have to carry them alone.
Understanding
Children of parents with alcohol problems often grow up with unpredictability, fear, secrecy or responsibility beyond their years. As adults, this can show up as anxiety, people-pleasing, difficulty trusting, perfectionism or a pull towards difficult relationships.
Counselling helps you understand those patterns and find new ways of relating to yourself and others.
How I help
Linking your story to your present.
Stepping out of the carer or hero role.
In yourself and others.
Questions
Yes. Early experiences often shape adult life.
Support is available whatever is happening now.
