Alcohol-Related Concerns & Support

Supportive, non-judgemental counselling for people navigating a difficult relationship with alcohol.

Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to serious health issues, including high blood pressure, liver disease, and stroke. It also affects an individual’s temperament, lowers inhibitions, and compromises decision-making and rational thinking abilities. Recovery often requires setting realistic yet ambitious goals, which may involve complete abstinence or a gradual reduction in alcohol use. Commitment to change is essential, and being part of a 12-step programme is often a critical component of the recovery process.

At Counseling Perspective, we help clients develop personalised recovery plans and provide ongoing support throughout the process. This includes identifying triggers, learning coping strategies, overcoming obstacles, and discovering new hobbies and interests. If you are struggling with alcohol-related issues, contact us via email, phone, or WhatsApp to schedule a session with one of our trained therapists.

Nick Jonsson

Supervised Counsellor & Executive Coach

Nick works with adults who appear “high functioning” on the outside yet feel overwhelmed, isolated, burnt-out or stuck on the inside. His counselling is shaped by his own journey through burnout, addiction, and recovery, as well as more than two decades in senior leadership roles across Asia, Australia, and Europe. He has a particular heart for leaders, professionals, and their families who are carrying heavy responsibilities while quietly struggling with anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviours, or a loss of purpose.

Varian Monteiro

Counselling Therapist

Having an ongoing interest in the intertwined workings of the mind and body, Varian is decidedly enthusiastic about counselling and all things psychology-related. Adopting a client-centred humanistic approach as the driving form of his counselling style, he has been assisting clients in managing their behaviours in one-to-one and group sessions since 2013. He began his counselling journey by being introduced to behavioural compulsions and impulse control difficulties, which also happen to be his areas of speciality. He has facilitated all-male support groups for compulsive sexual behaviour disorder, and behaviour modification for problematic sexual behaviour, in both private and governmental settings. In these two environments, Varian worked with clients on their psychoeducation and to unlearn the shame and guilt surrounding compulsion. While he provides multiple tools to guide clients onto their paths of recovery, he draws upon several other techniques that are beneficial to his clients; focusing strongly on emotions while involving some cognitive behavioural, dialectical behavioural, and somatic approaches.
