Welcome to the home of Second Chance Counselling Services, a place where you can get the necessary support and guidance to help take the first step in recovering from addiction. At SCCS we understand how debilitating addiction truly is for both the users and their loved ones, which is why this practice is centred around relapse prevention and recovery principals.

Second Chance focuses on the following:

• Reaching a place of rock bottom is an overall existential crisis
• Vocation – the key to finding solutions
• Responsibility as a response
• Self-help as a prerequisite for support

If you need help to make this happen and to uplift yourself to become the person, and live the life you deserve to live, contact Second Chance Counselling Services today.

Many people feel uncertain and scared about asking for counselling. The truth is that for some problems, counselling will:

• Provide an opportunity for you to, in a safe place, talk about the issues you feel you need to deal with
• You will experience relief from guilt, depression, grief, rejection, addiction and many other issues that can negatively affect your life as well as the lives of those around you
• Put you in a place where the emotional pain of your past can be eased, and in many cases healed so that you can live a whole and better life

To successfully lift yourself out of a rock bottom situation requires not only that you receive help and support from others outside of your situation, but that you also learn to rely on yourself to make the ultimate difference in your situation.

Where there is life,

there is hope

Never give up!

Being addicted, simply put, means having something in your life that takes precedence over all other relationships.
