Getting To The Root Of Addiction To Help You Stay Sober
Struggling with addiction or loving someone who is? We support individuals and families with honest, trauma-informed care that sees the full picture — and helps you find a way through it.
Addictions Counselling
Addiction is never just about the substance or the behaviour. It’s about pain, disconnection, survival, and trying to feel something, or nothing, when life gets too heavy. At The Hive, we offer addictions counselling that goes deeper than diagnosis or detox plans. We help you understand the why behind the patterns and build a life that feels worth staying present for.
We support individuals struggling with substance use, alcohol dependency, disordered eating, screen or gaming addiction, compulsive behaviours, and other self-soothing patterns that have stopped working and started hurting. Whether you're in the early stages of questioning your relationship with a substance, actively seeking recovery, or somewhere in between, we’ll meet you exactly where you’re at. No lectures. No shame. Just real support.
Many of our counsellors bring their own lived experience into the work, so you're not talking to someone who read about it in a textbook. You're talking to someone who truly gets it. The guilt, the secrecy, the roller coaster of quitting and trying again. That means we bring deep compassion and zero judgement to every conversation.
Our approach is trauma-informed, practical, and deeply human. We’ll help you unpack what’s underneath the addiction, find healthier ways to regulate, and build the emotional tools you need to feel more in control. We also work with families impacted by addiction, because we know it doesn’t just affect the person using. It affects everyone who loves them too.
Whether you’re ready to quit, thinking about cutting back, or just curious about what life might look like on the other side, we’re here. You don’t have to hit rock bottom to ask for help. Just a moment of honesty and the courage to reach out.
