Emmet Watters

With over 25 years of practice experience as a Trauma and Addictions Therapist, Accredited Counsellor, Substance Specialist, Public speaker, Coauthor of Healing Hands and Training Facilitator and  Life Coach, my journey began with personal trauma and addiction. At 14 years old, my addiction began and soon I became an addict of multiple substances. A wake-up call came when a close relative fell gravely ill and I sought addiction help through the GP referral scheme. Although an awakening experience, unfortunately it was marred by negative and damaging encounters- I wasn’t listened to, I wasn’t treated as an individual case and I was simply viewed as just another addict. I decided to go in search of the best treatment available.

After meeting an inspirational mentor on a community led Drugs and Alcohol Programme, I began to work as a volunteer and subsequently backed up my passion with academia, becoming a qualified counsellor.  I worked tirelessly to find solutions for every individual on my caseload, and I researched every imaginable therapy. I found, and became certified in the groundbreaking therapy, Havening, and I can tailor this method to every individual on my caseload to truly change their lives.
