If you are committed to overcoming an addiction, call me because empowering exercises from a holistic (body-mind-spirit) approach overcome the darkness of addiction, anxiety, depression, and stress in the same way that turning on a light dissolves the darkness in any room. Consistent use of these special tools has resulted in success that many users did not think was possible. Sessions by Skype, phone, or in-office visits are private and affordable.

Hello,
  My name is Alex Basche and I'm currently a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in the San Francisco Bay Area.  I have a deep passion for treating technology addiction and primarily see clients with such addictions in my private practice. In addition, I also provide coaching, training and workshops around the state on this subject.
    In 2017, I co-created an Intensive Outpatient Program treating such addictions in adolescents.  This experience helped me to better understand the massive deficiency in qualified treatment options in my area for Technology Addictions.  I am hoping that my engagement on this website will help raise awareness of my treatment services in the San Francisco Bay Area.  I am also happy to be a resource for any professionals, parents or loved ones who are seeking help or information on this topic.
                                      Thank you.

As parents, it is challenging to set technology boundaries with your child of any age especially once given access and with our own constant use. Having a Family Coach is an intervening variable that can set into place stepping stones pulling tech addictions and compulsions out of the deep grooves imbedded into behavior.

Life is layered with many distractions, challenges and joy along the way. I am here to help you or your child build a firm foundation to be inspired to enjoy human connection through reconnecting with Self.

There is a solution for your child to integrate into life, creating meaning and purpose. We will work together to create actionable steps that will solidify behavioral changes and bring about human connection and a zest for life.

Bel Gamlin Counselling

Hi my name's Bel Gamlin. I’m a qualified and experienced integrative counsellor and therapist in Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire, UK. I’m a registered member of the BACP; the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy.

I have experience of working with adults in addiction. I understand the nature of gaming addiction and its devastating consequences on both the gamer and their loved ones.

I work with individual adults over 18 years old. I offer counselling in Bradford on Avon in person in my therapy room located in the heart of the town and by outdoor therapy, also by Zoom throughout the UK.

I provide a non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and supported in making meaningful changes, whether you’re struggling with these issues yourself or are concerned and affected by a loved one.
