With interview from Dr Zandra Bamford, who helped develop Nul's IFS Therapy Programme, Matus Maar, Nul's Founder and CEO the article dives into why abstinence doesn't work for everyone and how a science-based approach with therapeutic support may be a more realistic approach to drinking less.

Dr Zandra Bamford explains: "The aim is to go beyond surface-level symptoms and address the root causes or deeper reasons behind the alcohol use, and building lasting change."

Matus Maar describes Nul as "A gentle therapy that uses different techniques to help you look at different patrs of yourself and not just identify the problem, but help you resolve it."
