Our Values

Our work is underpinned and guided by our values:

To be welcoming 

To provide a warm, friendly, and confidential environment with a ‘sense of belonging’.

To be non-judgmental 

To ensure the centre’s services are available to all irrespective of race/religion, gender, sexuality, age and/or disability.  Addiction does not discriminate and neither do we.

To be flexible in meeting individual need

ensuring clients needs are reviewed regularly to ensure the support they receive is appropriate during their recovery journey.

To maintain quality in all we do

We employ well qualified and suitably experienced staff and remain committed to meeting the highest quality standards across all areas of our work.

To foster a sense of belonging

All our recovery service staff, as well as being highly qualified counsellors, have also at least eight years recovery from addiction themselves. We actively welcome clients with stable recovery to volunteer their wide range of talents. All clients are encouraged to offer their suggestions for the development of our services.

Breathe in calm, breathe out stress…

The Box Breathing Tool, created by Watford counsellor Yousef Kira Durrani, is a simple yet highly effective technique designed to help regulate the nervous system during times of anxiety, stress, overwhelm, or emotional discomfort.

By following a structured pattern of breathing in, holding, breathing out, and holding again for equal counts, we can slow our heart rate, calm racing thoughts, and bring our attention back to the present moment.
