The Liberty Programme
Living with addiction can make you feel completely alone.
You alone carry the worry, manage the fallout, and keep the secrets -
.....until you can’t.
You brace for chaos. Covering, protecting, and keeping the peace, in isolation -
.....until you cant.
Whether your loved one is still in addiction, in a programme, or newly in recovery, Liberty is a therapist-led service where you’re no longer isolated — you’re understood, and you can start changing the coping patterns and pressures you’ve been living with.
Why Choose the Liberty Programme?
Liberty brings you into a supportive community where you’ll rebuild your strength and step out of crisis.
✔ You’ll learn tools to protect your wellbeing, communicate clearly, and stop getting dragged into the same exhausting cycle.
✔ You’ll learn how to take your life back by setting consistent boundaries and how to step out of the patterns addiction creates.
✔ You’ll learn how to handle the anger and self-blame, and rebuild confidence and self-worth.
Liberty is delivered
-
In a One-to-One setting with a trained & experienced counsellor familiar with people living with the addiction of another
OR
-
Group meetings led by the trained & experienced counsellor. Group runs for 12 sessions for 2 hours every Friday.
Liberty is for partners, parents and friends affected by the addiction to alcohol, drugs, gambling and internet use.
Each session starts with a short practical talk by the therapist on a particular topic, followed by an open compassionate discussion.
What Topics are Covered?
Built from four years experience running the Gate Recovery Addiction Programme, Liberty delivers 18 practical topics that help family members cope, set boundaries, and rebuild their lives.
Those topics include.....
✔ Effects of addiction on family life
✔ Guilt and self-blame
✔ Communication and trust
✔ Anxiety and overthinking
✔ Building emotional resilience
After the short talk, the group opens into a compassionate discussion on that topic, where you can share, ask questions, or simply listen.....and remember this programme is also available through confidential one-to-one sessions.

The Liberty Programme isn’t about fixing someone else’s past or current addiction.
Liberty is about creating a new pattern with the same person: less reacting, less rescuing, more calm, more clarity, and boundaries you keep.
Liberty focuses on your wellbeing through the expertise of our therapists and the community of your group.
