Underlying
Issues
It is widely recognised in the professional field that Substance Use

underlying conditions that become more apparent once they have reduced
or ceased their substance use/pathological gambling such as:
Anxiety
Disorder (Social Anxiety Disorder/Social Phobia, Generalized
Anxiety Disorder, Panic Attacks/Panic Disorder, Agrophobia, Phobias,
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder),
Mood Disorder (Depression,
Bipolar Disorder),
Psychotic
Disorder (schizophrenia),
relationship/marriage
problems,
grief and
loss/bereavement,
Adjustment
Disorder,
Eating Disorder
(Anorexia nervosa, Bulimia nervosa),
Attention
Deficit Disorder,
issues around confidence and
self-esteem (Assertiveness Training)
stress/stress

Claudia has sound clinical experience in treating most of the above
underlying conditions should they arise. As a senior in her field she
is also well aware of her limits and Claudia will provide referral
