Pre & Post rehab support
Supporting you, before, during and after rehabilitation treatment
I’m Sian Carpenter, an experienced addiction counsellor and recovery specialist based in Deal, Kent, offering pre- and post-rehab support both face-to-face in Kent and online across the UK.
Pre- and post-rehab support provides a safe, supportive space to prepare for treatment, navigate the challenges of recovery and build confidence as you transition back into everyday life beyond rehab.

Building life beyond treatment:
Entering rehabilitation can bring up fear, uncertainty and mixed emotions, even when you know you need support.
I can help you prepare for treatment, explore your concerns, identify personal goals and feel more informed about what lies ahead.
We can work on:
-
Exploring fears and uncertainty.
-
Building motivation and readiness for change.
-
Setting goals for your time in treatment.
-
Preparing for the transition into rehab & knowing what to expect.
Rehabilitation can be an intense and emotional experience. Drawing on my experience working within residential rehabilitation settings, I understand the challenges people can face during treatment.
Alongside your rehab programme, I can offer additional support so that you don't feel alone in your journey. A space to reflect on your progress, check in with you and ensure you are getting the most out of your treatment.
We can work on:
-
Reflecting on progress and personal insights that you may be learning along the way.
-
Strengthening motivation and commitment to stay in treatment.
-
Exploring emotions and any difficulties.
-
Preparing to leave treatment and transition back into everyday life.
Leaving rehab can feel vulnerable & scary, as the structure and support of treatment change these are normal feelings.
I can help you put what you've learned into practice, navigate everyday challenges and build confidence as you establish a sustainable life in recovery.
We can work on:
-
Adapt back to everyday life.
-
Put your new skills and knowledge into practice.
-
Managing triggers, cravings and high-risk situations.
-
Building healthy routines and coping strategies.
-
Strengthening confidence and relapse-prevention plans.
Having worked within one of the UK's leading private rehabilitation clinics as well as established community drug and alcohol rehab services, I have supported hundreds of people through addiction treatment and recovery. Working within both 24-hour residential rehabs as well as day rehab centres, I can bring a depth of experience and knowledge.
I understand the fear, uncertainty and mixed emotions that can come before entering rehab, and the importance of getting the most out of your treatment whilst not having to do any of it alone.
Having worked intensely in rehab settings, I understand what people may experience during their stay and the vulnerability that can comes with leaving structured care.
My experience & knowledge allows me to offer informed, compassionate support at each stage — helping you feel more prepared before treatment and supporting you to put what you've learned into practice as you navigate everyday life beyond rehab.
