Who we are –

Recovery is a word often used to describe the process of
returning to health following problematic alcohol use, drug
use and other addictive behaviours. It is a process of healing
that by necessity involves other people, and which leads to
uncovering and working through other issues which may have
led to the addiction.

Recovery Central is a comprehensive Counselling and Psychology
Service specialising in addictions. More often than not, people can
be affected by more than one issue, and we are significantly
experienced at dealing with conditions that underlie substance
misuse and compulsive behaviours, such as depression, anxiety,
trauma, abuse or grief.

Our clinicians are non-judgemental, holistic in their approach and
very experienced. They are registered with the Australian
Psychological Society and supervised to ensure a high level
of professionalism and ethical conduct. They are also committed
to reflective practice and professional development.

Our Group Facilitators also provide relaxation and education
groups for clients and corporate customers, including school
and educational settings.

What we do -

We offer counselling services primarily around issues of addiction.
We are experienced at helping with problem and binge drinking,
quitting smoking, illicit drug use, gambling, sex addiction as well
as problematic online and internet use. Our Principal Psychologist
is Mr Anthony Piras a Senior Psychologist with 20 years’ experience,
having worked in a range of public health and private practice
positions providing individual therapy, counselling and clinical
supervision. He has a strong ongoing interest in working with
clients who have comorbid mental health and drug and alcohol
issues, and retains strong links to public health units. As an
experienced clinician, Mr Piras also provides a number of
supervision groups for other clinicians, as well as individual
supervision sessions.

Our logo -
At the centre of our logo is a stylised representation of the Koru,
an ancient Maori symbol which is based upon the shape of an
unfurling frond. In Maori artwork, the Koru often represents
opening up to a new life, the leaf of the fern containing all of its
hidden potential. As well as new growth and beginnings, it also
represents peace and tranquillity. We believe this is central to
the journey of recovery.
