Addiction Therapy and Counselling London

Our Practitioners Who Work with Addiction

Addiction specialists at London Trusted Therapy work with people at every stage of their relationship with addiction – whether you’re questioning if you have a problem, actively struggling, in recovery, or supporting someone you love. They approach addiction with compassion rather than judgment, understanding that lasting change comes from addressing the whole person, not just the substance or behavior. They’ll meet you where you are, help you understand what’s driving your addiction, and work with you to build a recovery that’s sustainable and meaningful to you.

Understanding Addiction

Maybe it began as casual use that slowly became something you couldn’t control, or perhaps you’ve known for a while that things have gone too far but the thought of stopping feels impossible. You might find yourself making promises you can’t keep, hiding your use from people you love, or feeling deep shame about something that started as a way to feel better, not worse.
For loved ones watching someone struggle with addiction, the helplessness, fear, and exhaustion can be crushing – you want to help but nothing you try seems to work.
Your days might revolve around using, recovering from use, or trying not to use. Relationships suffer, work becomes difficult, and the things that once mattered feel distant. You might hate what’s happening but feel trapped in a cycle you can’t break. Or perhaps you’ve tried to quit before – maybe many times – and the shame of “failing” makes it harder to try again.
Whether it’s substances, alcohol, gambling, or other behaviors, the pattern is the same: what once helped you escape has become its own prison.
It’s a powerful response to pain, trauma, or unbearable feelings – and breaking free takes immense courage.
Recovery isn’t about willpower; it’s about understanding what drives your addiction, developing new coping strategies, healing underlying wounds, and building a life worth staying present for. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to take the next small step.

Our son has been through an incredibly difficult time with substance use, anxiety, depression, and BPD. As parents, we felt completely out of our depth and didn't know where to turn. Finding London Trusted Therapy and Dr Popelyuk has honestly saved our child's life. Dr Popelyuk has been managing the psychiatric side with such skill and compassion - he treats our teenager with respect, not judgement, which has been crucial in getting them to actually engage with treatment. Dr Olena has been an absolute godsend as our child's therapist. She genuinely "gets" teenagers and has managed to build trust with our son/daughter in a way we didn't think was possible. The fact that she and Dr Popelyuk work so closely together means nothing falls through the cracks. It's not been easy - recovery never is - but for the first time in years we feel hopeful. Our child is actually going to appointments, taking their medication, and slowly starting to open up. The collaborative approach between the psychiatrist and therapist has been absolutely key. If your teenager is struggling, please don't wait like we did. This team knows how to help young people in crisis.

I nearly didn't book, unsure anyone could help with an addiction that had taken over my life. Sabine did, using trauma-informed techniques, which was applied with real skill, not just theory. Looking back, I'm proud of how far I've come — something I wasn't sure was possible.

An addiction that had taken over my life used to control my days. Working with Saz, drawing on cognitive behavioural techniques, which made the difference, more than I expected it to, that's no longer true. Most days, there's a real sense of ease now that wasn't there before.

I don't usually leave reviews, but Haneyeh's work on an addiction that had taken over my life deserves one — working relationally, which made the whole process feel manageable. After everything, things finally feel manageable, and I'm grateful for that every day.

Honestly, I'd been struggling with my drinking and anxiety for ages but kept putting off getting help. Best decision I ever made was reaching out to London Trusted Therapy. Dr Popelyuk diagnosed me with AUD and was absolutely brilliant - no judgement, just genuine understanding and a proper plan to help me get better. He's been managing my medication and treatment, and I actually feel like I'm making progress for the first time in years. What's made the biggest difference though is having Dr Popelyuk working alongside Tina, my therapist at London Trusted Therapy. They're properly in sync - Tina helps me work through the anxiety and underlying stuff, whilst Dr Popelyuk sorts the medical side. They actually talk to each other, which sounds obvious but you'd be surprised how rare that is! I don't feel like I'm juggling different appointments with people who don't know what the other one's doing. It's all joined up, and that's made such a difference to my recovery. I'm not "fixed" yet but I'm in a completely different place than I was six months ago. If you're on the fence about getting help, just do it. This team knows what they're doing.
