What I Treat
Drug Addiction
Drug addiction doesn't discriminate. It can happen to anyone — professionals, students, parents. And reaching out for help is one of the hardest things you'll ever do.
A note from Rahul
Certified Guidance Counsellor · CBT & REBT · Sober since 28 Nov 2016
"I know what drug dependency feels like from the inside — not from a textbook. I lived it. The secrecy, the shame, the feeling that nobody could understand. When I finally got help, I found that having someone who genuinely understood — not from training, but from experience — was the thing that made the difference. That experience is now at the heart of how I work with anyone going through the same thing."
What this can look like in daily life
Feeling unable to stop despite wanting to
Building your life around the next fix or score
Lying to people you love about what's happening
Physical and emotional withdrawal when you try to stop
Losing interest in things that used to matter
If any of this sounds familiar — you're not alone. And you don't have to figure it out by yourself.

"After three failed rehab attempts, I'd given up on myself. Rahul hadn't. His consistent support kept me going when I wanted to quit."

Frequently asked questions
No. I am a sobriety coach, not a medical professional. If detox or medical support is needed, I will connect you with trusted practitioners and support you through the process.
Yes. I work with clients dealing with a range of substances. Each person's situation is unique, and we approach it accordingly.
That's okay. We start from wherever you are. Many of my clients weren't "ready" when they first called — they were just willing to have a conversation.
Absolutely. I work with families too. Sometimes the person struggling isn't ready yet, but the family is — and that's a valid starting point.
Ready to take the next step?
The first call is free. 30 minutes. No commitment. Just an honest conversation.
Confidential. I reply within 24 hours.
