Hey, I’m Luke Worsfold, the founder of Lisa Inside Addiction.
As a counsellor with 6 years of sobriety, my goal is to help you take control of your drinking.
How It Started
How It Is Going
I grew up with a mother who struggled with alcohol and passed away when I was just 10 years old. Unfortunately, I followed in her footsteps, drinking and taking drugs until I lost my partner, family connections and business.
I relentlessly searched for answers through google, books, AA Meetings and rehab but nothing seemed to be working… then I discovered…. ADDICTION THERAPY.
Thanks to the power of therapy, I was able to understand why I drank, earn back my loved one’s trust and break free my self-destructive cycle of drinking and using drugs.
Now I’ve made it my mission to help others take control of their drinking/drug use and reduce their consumption.
I can confidently tell you, you are in the right place! So book a call and let’s walk this journey together.

"It has been the best thing I could have ever done"
I joint Lisa inside addiction due to binge drinking and not knowing when to stop drinking once I start. I was in a low place when Luke contacted me and I signed up for the alcohol control program and 1 to 1 sessions with Luke. It has been the best thing I could have ever done, I’m now 6 weeks sober and have a complete different outlook on life. Luke has been absolutely amazing! He has gave me many techniques, one of which has taught me how to control intrusive thoughts which I struggled with. Since talking to Luke everyone has seen such a positive effect on me. I cannot recommend him enough, we’ve spoke about a lot of deep stuff but also laughed at past experiences. The program has shown me my triggers and how to deal with them. Highly recommended!
- LUKE
"Luke gave me the support I needed"
Luke gave me the support I needed to make some big changes in my life. The program he provided is comprehensive, and it all links together meaningfully to provide a really effective course. If you are ready and willing to make change for the better, this course provides a very strong base of support, focus and motivation. Strongly recommended.
- PAUL
"I have not had a drink in 4 months"
Luke has been amazing. He was exactly what I was looking for in a therapist, someone that I could talk openly with and on the same level. Sometimes we would work through exercises and other times we would just chat about what was going on. I have not had a drink in 4 months and with a bit of hard work from myself and awesome support from Luke here's to the next 4 and many more after :-)

"He saved my relationship with my partner and my family"
I don’t know where to start…. Luke is amazing he saved my life he picked me up when I was rock bottom and has got me to where I am today completing the program and unchaining myself from my addiction. The tools I have learnt over the past 12 weeks have made me the person I am now, these tools I have learnt will stick with me through life and help me in day to day life. Luke made me realise that life is amazing, he saved my relationship with my partner and my family, he is so supportive and in every single attribute, his attention to detail in every session is amazing. Luke once again Thank you!
- JAMES
"Working with Luke has been genuinely life-changing for me"
Working with Luke has been genuinely life-changing for me. He has provided patient, actionable and supportive counsel during the darkest period of my entire life and within months has enabled me to take real action to make positive, habitual changes. Previous experiences with counselling had been negative, but working with Luke has been fundamentally different and more helpful to me. I believe that Luke's experiences, alongside his qualifications, make him a truly exceptional counsellor and I would recommend his support to anybody who felt they needed it.
- ROB
"As scared as I was to start the program, I instantly felt a connection as Luke is such a genuine bloke."
I cannot thank Luke enough for the help and guidance he has given me. As scared as I was to start the program, I instantly felt a connection as Luke is such a genuine bloke. I felt it very easy to be open and honest from the get go. Not once did I feel like I was being judged, which I think was most of my fears in the beginning. Most therapists I searched appear to have text book experiences, but Luke's been there and done it all which meant we could laugh about some of the stories we both had. Thoroughly recommend Luke, top bloke and very good at his job. Thank you so much!

STILL GOT QUESTIONS ABOUT ADDICTION COUNSELLING?
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I talk to someone before I sign up?
Yes, you can talk to someone before you sign up. You can complete an contact form and someone will reach out to you to discuss your needs and answer any questions you may have about addiction counselling. This will give you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have and get a better understanding of what to expect from the process. It is important to feel comfortable and confident in your decision to seek help, and speaking with one of our team beforehand can help you feel more prepared and reassured.
Can I moderate my drinking or do I have to stop?
You have the option to either moderate your drinking or stop altogether. This is not an abstinence-only program and it is up to you to decide what approach is best for you. The goal of the program is to help you make an informed decision about your drinking and to provide you with the tools and support you need to achieve your goals. As you go through the programme you will work to understand the role that alcohol plays in your life and help you develop strategies to reduce your consumption or quit altogether if that is your goal.

Appointments for addiction counselling are typically available on Monday to Friday 7 AM to 8 PM and Saturday from 9 AM to 12 AM. You can check the availability of appointments in the counsellor’s diary and book a date and time that works for you. It is important to keep in mind that availability may vary depending on the counsellor’s schedule and the demand for appointments.

Our addiction counselling programs range from £49 to £1995, depending on your specific needs and preferences. We offer 1:1 counselling and video programmes to make sure you can find the support that works best for you. We also offer scholarships for clients who are in desperate need.
Can addiction counselling help me address the underlying causes of my addiction?
Yes, addiction counselling will help you address the underlying causes of your drinking. Understanding the underlying causes of your addiction is an important step in the recovery process and can help you develop strategies to prevent relapse and achieve lasting recovery. Our addiction counselling program includes a module specifically focused on exploring the “why” behind your addiction. This module is designed to help you understand the underlying causes of your addiction and identify any underlying issues, such as stress, anxiety, or depression, that may be contributing to your addiction. In addition to the module, you can also discuss the underlying causes of your addiction in individual counselling sessions with your counsellor. They can provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore these issues in greater depth and develop strategies to address them.
How do I know you won't share my personal information with others?
Respecting your confidentiality is of utmost importance and is essential in building trust between you and your counsellor. Your counsellor is bound by the Code of Ethics of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which requires them to maintain confidentiality and protect your privacy. If you have any cause for concern about the confidentiality of your counselling sessions, you can contact the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy directly. They are an independent professional body that is responsible for setting and maintaining standards for the practice of counselling and psychotherapy in the UK. It is important to remember that confidentiality is a key principle of the counselling process and is essential for creating a safe and supportive environment for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. Your counsellor is committed to upholding this principle and to protecting your privacy.
Which addiction treatment methods have the best success rates?
The best form of treatment for addiction depends on your individual needs and circumstances. Addiction counselling is a great option because it focuses on helping you integrate the changes into your life so you can cope without turning to drinking in the real world. Rather than coming out of rehab sober and going back to the challenges of your life and relapsing.
What are 4 common symptoms of addiction?
Four common symptoms of addiction include: Cravings for the addictive substance or behaviour Loss of control over the use Continued use despite negative consequences Withdrawal symptoms when not using the addictive substance or engaging in the addictive behaviour.
What are the signs of addiction?
Some common signs of addiction include neglecting responsibilities, changes in social and recreational activities, increased tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, and unsuccessful attempts to quit or cut back on the addictive behaviour.
How do I permanently stop my addiction?
Permanently stopping your addiction often requires a combination of professional help, self-awareness, and support from others. Addiction counselling can provide the tools and strategies you need to overcome addiction and maintain long-term recovery.
What if I am contacting you on behalf of someone else?
If you are contacting us on behalf of someone else, it is important to keep in mind that addiction counselling is a highly personal and confidential process. The individual seeking help will need to be actively involved in the counselling process and must give their consent for any information to be shared. If you would like to purchase counselling as a gift for a friend or family member, you can certainly do so. However, it is important to keep in mind that the individual will still need to complete an consultation call and speak with a counsellor in order to participate in the sessions. It is ultimately up to the individual to decide if they want to seek help and participate in the sessions. It is important to approach the topic with sensitivity and respect for their autonomy and to not pressure them into seeking help if they are not ready. It is also important to respect their privacy and confidentiality.
