Alcohol misuse – abuse – dependence
- Are you are regularly drinking more alcohol than you intended to?
- Do you feel guilty or ashamed about your drinking and often regret that you drank the night before?
- Do you lie about your alcohol consumption or hide your drinking habits from others?
- Have you had friends or family members expressed concern about your drinking?
- Do you continue to drink despite experiencing negative consequences related to your drinking, such as blacking out, aggression, family conflict or getting DUI’s?
- Do you plan your time and activities around your drinking?
At Telehealth Psychology Services we offer
People who misuse or abuse alcohol are not necessarily addicted to alcohol, but they may continue to drink alcohol, irrespective of the consequences.
Alcohol misuse, abuse or addiction can be stigmatised because of the negative behaviours that are often associated with it, such as lying, verbal abuse, withdrawal, physical aggression, and problematic, unpleasant or obnoxious behaviour in front of others. Or you might find that you engage in risky behaviour and get in trouble with the workplace or the justice system.

With our Telehealth sessions, you can have your consultation in your own comfortable, safe space rather than facing the hassle of getting to a busy clinic. So, with the convenience and accessibility of a Telehealth appointment, it can be easier to fit therapy sessions into your busy schedule, whatever your location.
