The Addiction Support and Care Agency (ASCA)

Spring is a time of new beginnings and growth. According to American psychologist Abraham Maslow, every person has a self-actualising tendency and tries to reach their full potential in life. Ongoing personal issues, however, can prove a stumbling block to an individual’s development and where to turn for professional help may then prove problematic. Fortunately, the Richmond and Kingston area is served by a longstanding counselling service that can help facilitate positive change in those wanting to be the best they can be.

The Addiction Support and Care Agency (ASCA) is a local charity that offers confidential, low-cost, one-to-one counselling and group therapy to address a range of life’s problems, including alcohol, drug and other addictions; anxiety; depression; low self-esteem and stress. There is also a Carers’ Group for those whose lives are, or have been, impacted by the addictions of others. This seems all the more relevant when it is known that alcohol and drug dependency affects one in 25 people and one in four adults drink more than is healthy. Extra wellbeing services available include meditation classes and yoga.

In addition, ASCA runs a 12-Step Zen Group, which features meditation and discussion in a supportive atmosphere. This is a drop-in group, open to everyone and does not require an initial assessment. It has proved a popular meeting for those who like a calm space for reflection.

For further information, please visit www.addictionsupport.co.uk, email info@addictionsupport.co.uk, contact ASCA Richmond 020 8940 1160 (233 Lower Mortlake Road, Richmond, Surrey TW9 2LL) or ASCA Kingston 020 8339 9899 (96 Ditton Road, Surbiton, Surrey KT6 6RH).
