Pittmain Addiction Therapy

Pittmain Addiction Therapy is a trusted addiction counselling service founded by James Bell, a qualified and professionally accredited therapist with over 21 years of experience in the field. Based in Birmingham, James supports individuals across Solihull, Kings Norton, Kings Heath, Longbridge, and surrounding areas with a focus on effective, person-centred care. The service is fully insured and rooted in professional ethics, offering expert addiction counselling for alcohol abuse, substance misuse, and a wide range of behavioural addictions including gambling, sex, shopping, eating disorders, and more.

James approaches addiction as a progressive illness rather than a personal failing, helping clients understand the emotional and psychological roots of their behaviour. Drawing from Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy (REBT) and Motivational Interviewing, sessions are designed to address the underlying causes of addiction, build new coping strategies, and create lasting recovery. An initial 15-minute call is available with no obligation, followed by a structured therapeutic journey that includes a 70-minute assessment session, tailored treatment plans, and one-to-one or family and couples counselling. A home detox service is also available where appropriate.

Therapy is offered in a confidential and supportive setting, either in person across four serene clinic locations or remotely via online sessions. James’ background includes a decade of leadership in a private residential rehabilitation centre, bringing practical, in-depth knowledge to his therapeutic work. Every client benefits from a holistic approach, focused on mind, body and emotional wellbeing, with access to between-session support and a complimentary one-hour taster session.

Pittmain Addiction Therapy also offers guidance and support to families, friends and colleagues affected by someone else’s addiction. With more than two decades of lived and professional experience, James Bell is committed to helping clients not only recover but thrive—offering structure, support and strategies to rebuild a meaningful, addiction-free life.
