Addiction Counselling with Jorge Venceslau
Addictions & Recovery
Addictions - a powerful force that can trap even the strongest among us. It slowly but persistently creeps into one’s life, taking hold and transforming it into a battleground of possible dependency. If you find yourself struggling with addiction, know that there is a way out, and healing is within your reach.
Help for you or a loved one?
No matter, I’m here to help and guide you in both ways. That has been my full-time work and mission for the last 27 years.
You are welcome to contact me, and we can discuss your specific situation as an addict, a family member, or a friend who is looking to help a loved one.
My firm and evidence belief is that people can change for the better!
Addiction can manifest in various forms—substance abuse, behaviours, or even thoughts and emotions—yet its impact is universal. It chips away at relationships, erodes self-esteem, and hijacks one's ability to make rational choices. The relentless cravings, the vicious cycle of guilt and shame, become the fabric of everyday life.
But amidst the darkness, a glimmer of hope flickers. Addiction recovery is possible. It begins with acknowledging the problem and reaching out for help. Whether it’s confiding in a loved one, joining support groups, or seeking professional guidance, these steps pave the way towards a brighter future.
Recovery demands resilience, patience, and self-compassion. It involves unearthing the underlying causes of addiction, addressing emotional wounds, and learning healthier coping mechanisms.
It requires rewriting the narrative, one chapter at a time, embracing the strength to say no to the temptations that once held sway.
As the journey unfolds, relapses may occur, but they are not signs of failure. They are opportunities to learn, deepen one’s understanding, and reinforce the commitment to healing. Each setback can be a stepping stone towards lasting recovery, with lessons and newfound determination in their wake.
Support systems play a vital role in the recovery process. Surrounding oneself with compassionate individuals who understand the struggles and offer unwavering support can make all the difference. Building a network of like-minded individuals who are on a similar path creates a sense of camaraderie and reminds one that they are not alone.
In the midst of addiction’s grip, it may feel as if escape is impossible. But remember, recovery is not a destination; it is a courageous journey of transformation. It is the reclamation of one’s autonomy, the rediscovery of passions, and the cultivation of a life filled with purpose and joy.
If you are battling addiction, take that first step towards recovery. Reach out, seek guidance, and believe in your capacity to change. You possess the strength to overcome, rise above the clutches of addiction, and create a future brimming with possibility.
How online addiction counselling can help you?
Online addiction counselling can provide crucial support and guidance for individuals seeking to overcome various forms of addiction.
Here are some benefits of our Therapeutic Online Support Sessions:
- Accessibility and convenience: Online counselling eliminates geographical barriers and allows individuals to access addiction counselling services from the comfort of their own homes. It can be particularly beneficial for those who live in remote areas, have limited mobility, or face transportation challenges.
- Anonymity and privacy: Some individuals may feel more comfortable discussing sensitive and personal topics related to addiction in the privacy of their own space. Online counselling provides a level of anonymity that can encourage individuals to open up and share their experiences without fear of judgment or stigma.
- The flexibility of scheduling: Online counselling offers greater flexibility in scheduling sessions, making it easier to find convenient appointment times that fit into one’s daily routine. This flexibility can be especially beneficial for individuals with busy schedules or those who face time constraints.
- Personalised support and guidance: Online addiction counsellors can provide personalised support and guidance tailored to the specific needs and circumstances of each individual. They can help clients explore the underlying causes of their addiction, develop coping strategies, set achievable goals, and work on relapse prevention.
- Access to Jorge Venceslau: Access to an experienced addiction specialist with 27 years of working in the addiction field who will align with your preferences and specific needs. This can be especially helpful for individuals seeking specialized approaches or therapies.
- Continuity of care and ongoing support: Online counselling can offer continuity of care, allowing individuals to work with Jorge Venceslau consistently. This helps build a therapeutic relationship over time and provides ongoing support as individuals navigate the challenges of addiction recovery.
Jorge's Experience in Counselling
I feel incredibly fortunate because I've discovered that passion drives everything I do! It's a fantastic feeling to be genuinely passionate about every decision I've made.
Jorge Venceslau says, It's important to note that online addiction counselling may not be suitable for everyone; Jorge Venceslau will do a specific assessment with you, as some individuals may require a more intensive in-person program.
However, for many individuals, online counselling can be a valuable and effective option to address addiction-related concerns.
When I was 23, I went through a Family Intervention, and it completely changed my perspective. It made me realise that happiness is not something we can achieve alone. We need to witness the happiness of others for our own lives to have meaning and purpose.
I went on to study at Action on Addictions in England in 1996.
Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working in various addiction treatment centres across the globe. Crossroads Treatment Center in Antigua, was founded by the legendary Mr. Eric Clapton. I’ve also worked with Outcome Consulting in England and served as a consultant at Clouds House in Bournemouth. Additionally, I’ve had the opportunity to work in several centers in Brazil and South Africa
I am grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact on people’s lives through addiction counselling, and I look forward to assisting you on your journey towards healing and recovery.
