Russell Lewis
MBACP, BSc(Hons) Counsellor
I’m a qualified counsellor with specialised expertise in addiction recovery and mental health support. My journey into this field stems from both professional training and a deep, personal understanding of recovery processes.
Having worked extensively within mental health settings, I’ve witnessed first-hand the courage it takes to seek help and the transformative power of the right support at the right time. I understand that recovery isn’t linear — it’s a unique path for each individual.
