Overcome Compulsive Shopping Addiction – Treatment in Melbourne

Shopping can be fun but compulsive shopping is something that requires treatment. If you have a problem with binge shopping, you know it needs to stop. Some joke about being a shopaholic but in reality, this can be a very harmful compulsion. Our counsellors can help.

The trained psychotherapists at Bayside Psychotherapy can help you overcome compulsive shopping disorder, also known as oniomania. We possess skills and tools that can help you overcome your addiction to buying too much. Working with a counsellor provides you access to various treatment methods, such as: NLP, hypnotherapy, Buddhist psychotherapy, dream interpretation, mindfulness therapy, group therapy, and other counselling methods.

We can also offer online counselling options which would be a good option for those who are not local to the Bayside clinic or for those that prefer being treated from the comfort of their own home.

It’s time to stop your shopping addiction from controlling your life!

Call us on (03) 9530 6353 or use our contact form to book your confidential appointment. Let’s work together to help you cure your compulsive shopping habit.

How do you know if you have a shopping problem?

Symptoms of binge shopping include:

• Shopping when you are depressed, to feel better
• Buying things you don’t need
• Buying things you cannot afford
• Hiding your shopping habit from others, such as your spouse
• Feeling guilty or feelings of self-loathing

Stopping compulsive shopping on your own can prove to be difficult. The cost is high, though. Draining your savings account, buying on credit, keeping secrets from your husband or wife, and shopping when you could be doing other things will have negative consequences. Our counsellors can help you overcome oniomania and we will also help you use tools you already have that will assist you.

How long will compulsive buying treatment take?

Timeframes for overcoming shopping addiction cannot be guaranteed but within a few sessions, we should have a good estimate whether or not initial treatment methods are working. Your dedication to overcoming this compulsion is a major factor. There may be more than one attempt at finding a viable treatment option for you but rest assured that your counsellor will work with you to help you overcome your compulsive shopping urges.

How is Bayside Psychotherapy's treatment different?

Your counsellor will meet with you for an initial consultation, which will allow them to make a determination on an initial course of tailored treatment. Our unique blend of experience and training puts us in a position to blend a holistic set of approaches.
