Explore the complexities of addiction and discover supportive resources for overcoming various forms of dependence. From alcohol and drugs to smoking, food, and sex, we provide compassionate guidance to help individuals break free from harmful habits and reclaim their lives.

Addiction can manifest in various forms, each with its unique set of challenges and consequences. One prevalent form of addiction is substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction. These substances can hijack the brain’s reward system, leading to compulsive use and dependence.
Another common addiction is behavioural addiction, which involves compulsive behaviours that provide a temporary escape or relief from emotional distress. Examples include gambling addiction, sex addiction, food addiction, and internet addiction. These behaviours can have severe consequences on mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
Process addiction is another type of addiction that can impact individuals’ lives, involving compulsive engagement in certain activities or processes. This includes addictions to activities such as shopping, exercise, work, and gaming. Despite not involving substances, process addictions can still have detrimental effects on one’s well-being and relationships.
Counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), hypnotherapy, and psychotherapy offer effective strategies to help individuals understand the root causes of their addiction, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and work towards achieving lasting recovery and a balanced life.
Hello, The World at present doesn't have any standards anymore. So I don't expect anything from anyone. However in this case I spoke to a brilliant and diligent staff member called Sarah. She was incredibly pleasant and knew her job like the back of her hand. My inquiry was dealt with a standard which I would have set myself when I used to work. So very happy to have this very pleasant surprise. Keep up the Good Work. I honestly couldn't speak higher of the service. Thanks Steve
Deborah Chadbourne is an excellent counsellor. She is a good listener who offers subtle and insightful advice. The Wellness Centre is comfortable and well situated along Abbeydale Road.
I've been using the Sheffield Wellness Centre for nearly two years and enjoy the calm, comfortable and friendly feel of the rooms, and the great support from the managers.
I spoke with Richard who was helped me a lot in understanding my situation. He was also generous with his time when the question required longer than the 15mins. Thank you.
They provided excellent advise regarding our 3 children who all have SEN. Richard was very supportive and took his time to give us the best advice possible.
Deborah Chadbourn was an excellent grief counsellor for me. It is five years since my first wife died, and we explored how I am feeling now, and how to navigate new and old relationships while remaining true to everything from the past. Deborah is a great listener, and provides good challenge and advice. The venue worked well for me, as did the evening appointments. Thank you!
Shabana is one of those rare people who truly listens and understands without judgement. Her support came at a time when life felt overwhelming, and she helped me slowly rebuild my confidence and sense of self. I always left each session feeling lighter, calmer, and more grounded, and the tools she shared continue to help me every day. She helped me piece myself back together and reminded me that healing doesn’t mean becoming someone new — it means rediscovering who you’ve always been. I feel like my old self again, only stronger and more at peace. I can’t thank her enough.
My reki session was relaxing in a lovely environment . I really benefited from it and had a great nights sleep. Highly recommend.
Lovely mixture of reiki and creative life coaching from Jemma Rosenthal. Found the reiki very grounding and healing and the life coaching helped me navigate a difficult period of change and to clear some blocks in my life.
I am looking forward to offering homeopathy from Sheffield Wellness Centre. The rooms have a lovely relaxing feel and they are lovely and clean. Sheffield Wellness Centre is conveniently situated with on street parking and bus access.
Our work group recently had a Wellness Day and we were able to book Jemma Rosenthal and Ranaa Farooq from the Sheffield Wellness Centre for an instructional workshop. I have since received excellent feedback from group members. Jemma and Ranaa provided a very lively and well-coordinated session. We were able to cover topics such as Visualisation in a systematic manner. All along, attendees were impressed with the passion and interest displayed by both presenters. As an audience, we were certainly captivated. I can wholeheartedly recommend Jemma and Ranaa for any future events.
I had 2 sessions with Kim but to be honest after the first I was totally stress free her ability to remember all the people involved shoed her compasion I am so grateful and have slept like a log ever since thankyou ❤️
Charlotte is totally my medicine, she is amazing and iv been seeing her for various things and she has solved them. Cant recommend her or the Centre enough its very private, clean and relaxing. Thank you
Came to have my session with Jemma Rosenthal here. The restrooms are so clean. There are steps that one needs to be careful of once you get onto the first floor. Fabulous place other than that, just wish it had a lift. Regarding my session: Oh wow, where do I start?! Even before meeting Jemma, i've felt at ease as there is something with the way she talks, which is so calming and reassuring. My first session was exhaustive, but I loved it. I enjoyed the relaxing Reiki in the end. She tells me that I need to tell her when I am feeling tired of talking about my depressive past and that she can approach a different way of therapy. This feels so liberating because she is basically willing to tailor the session for YOUR needs. She is a wise lady. Though she is younger than me, she is very caring, intelligent and as I said a wise person. I am so happy that our paths crossed and she is helping me come out of my bad phase. I came home and was so relaxed (I was singing freely and my husband noticed a change in the way I sing it was excellent)... I've been happy and been chuckling which is so not like me but the sad phase is jutting out of my system. I've had other private sessions for depression but wanted someone to coach my life who understands anxiety and depression. I don't remember how I found her online but glad that I did!! -Sharvani ♡☆♡ She's truly a Gem... Jem✨
I met Richard today with a view to hiring the rooms for children's Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I was pleasantly surprised at how clean and spacious the rooms were. The space was light and tidy and Richard was extremely welcoming and goes the extra mile for therapist. Providing web support, pages on Sheffield wellness site for all therapist. Support at gaining clients. The place is easily accessible to Sheffield and the Peak District. Highly recommended.
A beautiful little haven tucked behind a busy street. Convenient to get to, the rooms are cosy and quiet - with a wealth of practitioners offering their skills. Its outdoor space holds a community feel with a neighbouring cafe and quirky shops to browse after a treatment.
Rooms were very good for therapy. Quiet, warm and comfortable with quality furnishings. Kept very clean and always plenty of clean glasses and fresh water available.
A wonderful calming place on Abbeydale road, with perfectly serene therapy rooms.
I've visited the Centre for a massage and I'm about to begin hiring the rooms myself as a practitioner. The rooms are really beautifully done out, with a lot of care and attention to detail. Richard has been very supportive and helpful in getting registered and started up.
i had 1-1 a reiki session with Nadine and it exceeded expectations. parking for the wellness centre on nearby streets was easy, it's easy to find and the therapy rooms are beautiful. i couldn't recommend it enough and will 100% be returning!
Well kept, warm and welcoming rooms. Hot and soft drinks available. It makes therapy sessions a little easier
Super lovely people and place! Lovely rooms, lovely vibe. Great place to have a massage and so well located. Lots of thought and care has gone into making this place as special as it is. Highly recommend. Had a hot stones massage with Fi today. I’ve been floating ever since. Highly recommend. Great way to treat to aching shoulders and neck. I feel renewed x
I had a Reiki session with Nadine, it was so good and Nadine was excellent she took time to explain everything and made me feel comfortable. Good communication and really helpful. So happy with the session I booked straight in for my next.
Booked in for a regression hypnotherapy session with Helen and the experience was absolutely amazing, highly recommended . Helen was like a breath of fresh air , just what I needed, thanks
I've had two massages with Fi at the Wellness Centre 'so far' and both times I've come away feeling like a different person. Fi not only has magic healing hands that make you feel wonderful with every touch, but she treats you with such calm and gentle compassion that this is a really holistic therapeutic experience. Definitely recommend
I had a pregnancy massage with Fi and it was amazing! the centre is a very relaxing place and she had it warm and comfortable for me. Despite her wearing PPE, the gloves didn't affect the feel of the massage and wearing masks made me feel safe. The actual massage was so relaxing and relieved any tension I felt as Fi had asked me where any tension was. I would highly recommend her to any pregnant ladies!
As a complete beginner and not being quite as agile as I'd like I was a bit nervous about attending a Yoga class but while I may be slightly biased given Elisha of Grow Yoga is my daughter I can honestly say I enjoyed every second of her class. She's a beautiful human with a passion and energy that radiates from her. She explains everything perfectly and encourages you to just go at your own pace and enjoy. On each occasion I've been I've left feeling like the world is a much brighter place with a calmness that is rare to feel in this very busy world. If you do have the chance to try one of her classes please take it, you'll fall in love with Grow Yoga
This is a wonderful oasis of calm and positivity tucked away inside a leafy courtyard on Abbeydale Road. The rooms are light, comfortable and tranquil. I always leave feeling brighter than I arrived.
A well laid out and welcoming place, conveniently located on a major route in to the city. Additionally, there is a small cafe for social meetups, before or after a session in the centre.
I have had the most wonderful hypnotherapy session with Fi from the Sheffield Wellness Centre. I knew from previous chats with her that she had the perfect voice and open demeanor for hypnotherapy, and I wasn't wrong. She immediately put me at ease and I was able to open up honestly with her. The session itself was lovely, I went quickly into a trance state and, although it's early days, feel very much that the session was beneficial: I already feel lighter and more in control of the anxiety and other problems I suffer with. The Sheffield Wellness Centre is also the perfect therapeutic space. The therapy rooms are lovely and perfectly suited to a range of therapies and the studio is bright and welcoming. I'm so excited to continue my therapy with Fi and am 100% sure this will give me so much benefit, I can't recommend her and the SWC enough.
This is an amazing space and i am very much looking forward to running regular yoga classes from here. It's a great location in Sheffield and as soon as i walked into the studio i knew i could work from here. Very clean and well maintained space and its obvious a lot of love and care has gone into setting it up.
Lovely venue, I had a Reiki session with Jess. It was my first session with her, she was very welcoming and explain the process in detail. The treatment was wonderful, I felt relax and a sense of joy during the session.I highly recommend Jess and the place to anyone that wants to try Reiki for the first time as she is a very gentle and calm person.
Lovely place! Coasy, beautiful, newly decorated rooms. Easily accesible from Sheffield city centra and Pick District. A lot of qualified therapists with experiences in various disciplines. Highly recommended!
I couldn't recommend Natalia enough! I have been treated by her and her essences for over a year now and we have gone through different levels of healing processes that I needed to go through. The powerful drops prepared for you at the end of the session gives you the extra help that you need to face your challenges... Thank you ever so much Nah! For the healing reiki sessions, the essences treatments and all the generosity and knowledge you bring and mix from your long time experience as a therapist; which makes your sessions unique and rich in love, faith and hope!!! �
The Wellness Centre has a wonderful Yoga studio, one of the best intimate smaller yoga spaces I have ever used. Absolutey wonderful!
I met with Richard today to view the treatments rooms and the studio. What a lovely, calming, welcoming and comfortable place, with a generous touch of character! Richard was incredibly helpful and welcoming. I left feeling very excited at the prospect of using the premises for my classes and client sessions.
Lovely peaceful premises, beautifully kept. Run by the most lovely, helpful and friendly people. A great place to come for any type of treatment or to hire the rooms. If only more places were run as well as this one! Fantastic!
What a wonderful space! We had a great time at baby yoga, Fi is wonderful. I will be back for more of the lovely things on offer!
Beautiful place. So many different things going on. Peaceful and excellent service.
I had a wonderful experience with Richard, He is very friendly, I found it really easy to talk to him. He has all the qualities of a Good Hypnotherapist. I would recommend all my friends to him. And trust me it was first time I met him and it was great.
An amazing place to give and receive treatments. Love the space and the people.
The Sheffield Wellness Centre is a place of calm tranquillity, perfect for giving and receiving treatments. Well done to Richard and Fi.
Pamper Party What a great idea! A bit of ‘me time’, in the most wonderfully relaxing surroundings. The Wellness Centre has such a relaxed, homely feel to it - much nicer than my actual home, as it is clean, tidy and welcoming! The atmosphere immediately put me at ease, I absolutely loved having time to chill out, chat and eat cake. Fi is the perfect hostess, making sure that we all had everything we needed, with her wonderful warm and caring manner. It was great to be able to choose what particular treatment or massage I wanted on the day. I surprised myself by trying something new and going for the hot stones massage, and I’m so glad I did. It was amazing, so deep and yet so gentle. It was really nice to experience my massage while listening to everyone else chatting happily, too. I completely recommend this if you are looking for the perfect excuse to have some guilt free time to yourself.

Addiction can come from a combination of biological, psychological, and environmental factors. One common cause is learned behaviour. People might pick up addictive habits like smoking or substance abuse from their families or communities, making these behaviours seem normal and more likely to be repeated.
Daily pressures and stresses can also lead to addiction. Many turn to alcohol, drugs, or gambling as a way to escape or find relief from stress, anxiety, or depression. Over time, this reliance can turn into a full-blown addiction as individuals rely more heavily on these substances or behaviours to cope with life’s challenges. Societal factors like peer pressure, social norms, and easy access to addictive substances can further exacerbate the risk of addiction.
Genetics also play a significant role. Research shows that those with a family history of addiction might be more prone to developing it themselves. While genetics alone don’t determine if someone will become addicted, they can increase the risk when combined with other factors. Understanding these causes is key to creating effective prevention and treatment strategies.
Regardless of what led to your addiction, we have a range of therapies available at the Sheffield Wellness Centre that can help you on your path to recovery.
We’ve gathered our most frequently asked questions about addiction in Sheffield, putting them all in one place for your convenience.
If you find that behaviours like smoking or drinking alcohol are becoming a concern, it might be time to seek professional help.
For instance, if you’ve been smoking for years and start noticing the negative effects on your lung and heart health, it’s important to take action before things get worse. Similarly, if social drinking has turned into a daily habit or dependency, it’s a sign that your relationship with alcohol might be unhealthy and needs attention.
Addiction can affect more than just your physical health. If these behaviours are impacting your daily life, relationships, work, or finances, it’s crucial to recognise the need for help. For example, if your cannabis habit is causing tension with your partner and leading to financial issues, or if alcohol addiction is hurting your job performance and financial stability, seeking help is essential to regain control of your life.
Reaching out for addiction services is not a sign of weakness but a brave step towards improving your well-being. Whether it’s counselling, CBT, hypnotherapy, or psychotherapy, these therapies offer a supportive space to explore the roots of your addiction, develop coping strategies, and work towards long-term recovery.
By seeking help, you can break free from the cycle of addiction, rebuild your relationships, and create a healthier future for yourself.
At the Sheffield Wellness Centre, we offer a range of therapies to support individuals in overcoming addiction and reclaiming their lives. Our compassionate and experienced therapists provide personalised care to address the underlying causes of addiction, develop coping strategies, and promote long-term recovery.
Counselling: Our counselling services offer a safe and confidential space for individuals to explore their addictive behaviours, identify triggers, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Through compassionate support and guidance, our counsellors help clients gain insight into their addiction and work towards sustainable recovery.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT): CBT is a highly effective therapeutic approach for addressing the thought patterns and behaviours that contribute to addiction. By challenging negative beliefs, developing coping strategies, and practising new behaviours, individuals can break free from the cycle of addiction and build resilience to prevent relapse.
Hypnotherapy: Hypnotherapy can be a valuable tool for accessing the subconscious mind and addressing the root causes of addiction. Through guided relaxation techniques and positive suggestion, hypnotherapy helps individuals reframe their relationship with addictive substances or behaviours, leading to lasting behavioural change and recovery.
Psychotherapy: Psychotherapy offers a deeper exploration of the underlying emotional and psychological factors contributing to addiction. By addressing past traumas, unresolved issues, and maladaptive coping mechanisms, psychotherapy promotes healing and empowers individuals to create meaningful and fulfilling lives free from addiction.
