Addiction rarely starts as a problem. At first it's a way to unwind: a glass in the evening, a cigarette, something sweet, the phone late into the night. Then that way becomes the only one, and the promise “this is the last time” comes up more and more often. It isn't weakness or a lack of willpower. It's a nervous system that has learned the shortest route to relief and now runs it on autopilot.

I work with the ANP method: we find what exactly sets off the craving, look at how the loop is built, and step by step retrain the automatic reaction, so that where there used to be only the habitual script, you have a choice. No shame, no moralising and no promises of miracles — just clear steps and practice.

I am a qualified psychiatrist and an ANP specialist. If you recognise yourself, write to me and we'll work it out together.
