Addiction Counselling in Gladesville, Sydney

Confidential, evidence-based support for substance and behavioural addictions

At iflow Psychology in Gladesville, we provide compassionate, confidential counselling for people concerned about alcohol or drug use, gaming, gambling, pornography, or compulsive behaviours such as spending or social media overuse.


Our psychologists work collaboratively with you to create a practical, goal-focused plan — whether that means harm-reduction or abstinence.

How iflow Psychology Can Help

Our psychologists use evidence-based therapies to help you understand triggers, manage cravings, and regain control over your life.


We provide therapy that is non-judgmental, confidential, and culturally responsive.

 

Common treatment approaches include:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – identifying triggers, managing cravings, preventing relapse

  • Motivational Interviewing (MI) – strengthening readiness for change

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – values-based action and emotion regulation

  • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills – distress tolerance and mindfulness

  • Trauma-informed care – addressing past experiences that drive current patterns

  • Family or partner sessions – when appropriate, to enhance support
