Chemsex Treatment

The use of phone apps and specific recreational drugs (such as Crystal Meth, GHB and Mephedrone) amongst (mostly) gay men has resulted in a very specific problem of "Chemsex".  It can quickly take over your life and it can be hard to break without help - not least because the drugs used are physically extremely addictive. It can affect anyone who uses them.

​

Therefore a very specific understanding of the problem and how it can be treated is required with many traditional forms of therapy less likely to help*. Very few Psychotherapists have a thorough comprehension of Chemsex - not least because its pretty much a problem within gay culture ... it isn't really about clubbing and it's not exclusively about sex, phone apps or drugs - it's a unique combination.

 

As a gay man who has "lived:)" in London for 30 years I have seen many trends come and go. I have also seen a number of people lose their lives to Chemsex and drugs. The "chems" have the ability to grip anyone because of the way our brains can respond to them. 

​

If you have a problem with chemsex perhaps I can help you find your way beyond it.
