Online Addiction Counselling | Dr Shay MacAuley | UK
Struggling with addiction, substance abuse, or trauma can feel like being trapped in a car you can no longer steer. I'm Dr Shay MacAuley — a medical doctor, a qualified addiction counsellor, and 23 years in recovery myself. I trained at the University of London, served as a GP in the Royal Air Force, and have spent over two decades working in addiction treatment across the UK, Asia, and beyond — in prisons, therapeutic communities, and residential rehabs.
I offer confidential online counselling for substance abuse, alcohol addiction, behavioural and thought addictions, complex trauma (C-PTSD), and the deep overlap between trauma and addiction that so often goes untreated. Using evidence-based approaches including CBT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, Internal Family Systems, and twelve-step programmes, I work with individuals and families across the UK and worldwide.
Recovery isn't just possible — you can get better than well.
