1 to 1 Alcohol Management Support

Is alcohol starting to sneak up on you? Do you drink most days or every day? Do you need alcohol to unwind, socialise, or sleep?

If you regularly drink more than 22 (male) or 15 (female) alcohol units per week, and/or more than 8 (male) or 6 (female) alcohol units each time you drink, you fall into the ‘Increasing Risk’ or ‘Higher Risk’ drinking categories, and are raising your chances of developing alcohol related illnesses.

If you would like support to understand your drinking more, plan ways to reduce your drinking, and improve your mental and physical wellbeing, we have a free and confidential service providing one-to-one sessions with a trained practitioner who specialises in alcohol misuse.
