Welcome - My Name is George Thompson
Drug Addiction Alcoholism Gambling Addiction
Today, just by visiting this site, you are one step closer to recovery from addiction. As a recovery-focused addictions counsellor, my goal is to help individuals uncover their true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating, instead of one based on shame, blame, self loathing.
I also advise, counsel, consult and train organisations, groups and individuals working within the Addiction Recovery field.
Alcoholism Addiction Drug Dependancy, whatever we choose to call it,
it creates a huge gulf between VALUES and BEHAVIOUR. Many alcoholics will tell you that what they DO is NOT who they ARE. Further, addiction is a brain disease and this illness forces people to behave in ways that they themselves feel is abhorrant. This is why they often are full of self loathing. When addicted people learn that it is not their fault, but it is their responsibilty, then a solution becomes apparent. It gets people out of self blame and into a solution. It is the only way to start experiencing a fulfilling and meaningful life.
Alcohol is is in bottles...alcoholism is in people.
For over 20 years I have counseled addicted people and their families with all sorts of addictions including, alcohol, gambling and narcotics. With this length of experience, I can provide individuals and companies with informed and expert counselling support. I am an active Clinical Member of the Australian Counselling Association
During the last two decades I have built, worked in and ran addiction rehabs. This means that as well as working with people who suffer from addiction, I can also provide other professionals with the tools to implement best-practice structures and procedures using the best program materials available today.
One of my specialties is working in crisis management. I have worked in many difficult situations with addicted people and their families to get people into treatment. This is sometimes called INTERVENTION and I am happy to work through any situation to help to get a result for both the family and the person requiring treatment.
