Employment Wanted

By Steve K

A call to anyone who owns, runs, or works for an addiction recovery treatment facility/organisation: I am seeking employment as an addiction recovery counsellor, therapist, or mentor. I am willing to relocate for the right opportunity and for employment in alignment with my values.

My approach to supporting others is integrative, combining a person-centred foundation with cognitive-behavioural tools and strategies. I am willing to support each person in relation to their preferred recovery pathway, recognising that there is no single approach that works for everyone.

I aim to provide a safe, confidential, and supportive therapeutic relationship where people can explore issues that maybe difficult to talk about, including those connected with addiction, trauma, and harmful behaviour patterns. I can help with:

strengthening motivation and commitment to change
managing urges and cravings
processing difficult thoughts, feelings, and behaviours
developing healthier coping strategies
increasing self-awareness and self-compassion

My approach emphasises self-empowerment, personal responsibility, emotional insight, and the development of a healthier and more fulfilling life.

Qualifications & Experience

I am a fully qualified counsellor with training and experience in mental health and addiction recovery. I completed a three-year advanced diploma in counselling in 2001.

I have extensive experience in group facilitation, having worked with:

The Priory Alcohol Treatment Unit (MDGH)
Adullam Housing
Acorn Recovery Projects
Change, Grow, Live (CGL)
SMART Recovery

I also have significant experience providing one-to-one support in both counselling and mentoring roles.

For the last eleven years I have regularly researched and written articles and blog posts for my website on all aspects of addiction recovery. I have had several articles published in recovery and spirituality-based magazines and journals. Please see: https://12stepphilosophy.org/
