Break Free from Addiction with Online Substance Abuse Counselling
Struggling with substance use? Find recovery and lasting change with compassionate, non-judgemental counselling from specialized psychologists.
Substance Abuse Counselling – Recovery, Support & Lasting Change
You may feel that your substance use is no longer "just social" or "under control". Perhaps you're drinking more than you intended, relying on pills to cope or using substances to escape stress, only to wake up with regret, anxiety or fear. You don't have to face this alone.
Understanding Substance Use
Substance use exists on a spectrum. It becomes a concern when use starts to affect your health, relationships, work or emotional well-being. Substance abuse generally involves repeated use despite negative consequences, difficulty cutting down, and using to cope with emotional pain.
Hope for Recovery
Seeking counselling for addiction is not a sign of weakness. It is a step towards taking responsibility, understanding what is driving your use and choosing healthier ways to cope. Substance use issues are treatable, and counselling can play a significant role in recovery and relapse prevention.
How Counselling Helps with Substance Use
Identify Triggers
Explore emotional and situational triggers (stress, trauma, mental health, environment) that lead to substance use
Build Coping Strategies
Develop healthier routines, coping mechanisms, and structured relapse prevention plans to maintain control
Repair Relationships
Improve communication in key relationships and rebuild trust with loved ones affected by substance use patterns
Our Approach to Recovery
Experienced Counsellors
Our therapists are trained in addiction, relapse prevention and co-occurring mental health concerns. They provide a non-judgemental space where you can speak openly without fear.
Personalised & Holistic
Every person's history and goals are unique. We tailor therapy plans to address emotional, behavioural, relational and lifestyle factors—not just the substance itself.
Long-Term Resilience
Our goal is not just short-term abstinence, but long-term resilience. We help you build a more stable, fulfilling life where you manage substance use instead of letting it manage you.

FAQ's
What happens in an online substance abuse counselling session at Zenup Health?
You meet with a trained counsellor online to discuss your substance use, challenges and goals. Together, you explore triggers, coping patterns and steps towards safer, healthier behaviour.
Can counselling alone help with addiction, or do I need medical detox?
Counselling supports motivation, coping and relapse prevention. If a medical detox or psychiatric evaluation is needed, your therapist may recommend linking with appropriate medical professionals alongside therapy.
How many sessions are typically needed before I feel a difference?
It varies. Some people feel supported and clearer within a few sessions; others benefit from longer-term counselling to sustain change and build resilience.
Is this therapy confidential and will it affect my job or insurance?
Sessions are confidential and not shared with employers. For insurance, you can discuss any documentation or privacy concerns directly with your therapist.
Can family members join or receive support too?
