Hugh Trethowan Counselling – Professional Therapy Services in Bath

About Hugh Trethowan

I am an NCAC Accredited counsellor, specialising in addiction, trauma, and emotional well-being. With extensive training and experience, I am dedicated to offering high-quality support for clients facing a variety of challenges. My accreditation through addictionprofessionals.org.uk ensures that I continually improve my practice, providing the best support possible.

Having worked in both daycare and residential treatment settings, such as the DHI (Bath) and Clouds House (Action on Addiction), I have gained a deep understanding of addiction recovery. I utilise both 12 Step and Harm Reduction methods to help individuals overcome their struggles. Working collaboratively, we will explore solutions together, especially when dealing with addictions or emotional difficulties that may feel overwhelming.

Services Offered

I provide a variety of counselling services to help individuals with emotional and mental health issues. My specialisms include:

Addiction and Recovery Support

With years of experience in addiction services, I offer tailored support to those struggling with substance misuse or behavioural addictions. My counselling approach provides:

• Giving up Smoking

• Recovery from Alcohol and Drug Addiction

• 12 Step Programmes

• Harm Reduction Techniques

Together, we will explore coping strategies, address the underlying causes of addiction, and set achievable recovery goals. Whether you seek complete abstinence or wish to reduce harmful behaviours, I am here to guide and support you.

Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACOA)

Growing up in an alcoholic household often leads to emotional challenges that continue into adulthood. I support ACOA clients by helping them understand and address:

• The Impact of Growing Up in an Addicted Family

• Unhooking from the Past

• Building Healthy Relationships and Self-Esteem

Through a compassionate approach, I assist clients in breaking free from unhealthy patterns and embracing a healthier future.

Anxiety and Depression

Anxiety and depression can leave individuals feeling overwhelmed and stuck. I offer counselling for:

• Generalised Anxiety

• Social Anxiety

• Depression

• Low Self-Esteem and Self-Worth

We will work together to identify the causes of your anxiety and depression, develop effective coping mechanisms, and enhance your emotional well-being.

Additional Information Hugh Trethowan Counselling Bath

In addition to my practice, I have written two articles on tinnitus, which may be helpful for those dealing with this condition:

• Tinnitus – Adapting and Coping Techniques

• Tinnitus – Learning to Live with It

These articles reflect my holistic approach, combining practical strategies with emotional support for those living with chronic conditions like tinnitus.

Access and Availability

I offer face-to-face sessions in the Bath area. For clients who are unable to attend in person or prefer remote sessions, I provide 50-minute Zoom consultations, which have proven highly effective and flexible.
