I host peer support spaces for addiction, trauma and healing — bringing clinical training and my own recovery story into the same room, so no one has to sit with the hard stuff alone.
I trained and practiced as a physician for 23 years across the NHS, private practice, and psychiatry-adjacent settings — and I've also lived through addiction myself. I don't hold those two things apart.
Peer support works differently from a clinic appointment: no diagnosis, no notes, no clock ticking toward a fixed outcome. Just an honest room, held by someone who has been on both sides of it.
My groups welcome people at any point in the process — still using, newly stopped, or years into recovery. There's no fixed timeline for finding your way out, and no requirement to have already arrived somewhere.
Real notes left by members after Sharewell sessions.
"Thank you Doctor Santosh for opening up such a great space. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experiences, and bringing diverse conversation. He has very inspiring feedback and is thoughtful and resilient."
"The host was just phenomenal! I really connected with this group — so knowledgeable. If I could change one thing, it'd be more time, maybe 90 minutes instead of 60. I'm already registered for the next one!"
"I really like the host — he is kind, listens, and holds space. Thank you so much for this group, I needed it today."
"Various forms of addiction were covered today. It's not just drugs and alcohol — compulsive shoppers, gamblers, risk takers can all find common ground here."
"This host is excellent as usual — thank you!!"
"Santosh and myself were the only people in the group. We had a great conversation discussing our recovery."
"This was my first experience and I wasn't sure what to expect. It was interesting and nice to meet new people."
"He is awesome and really supportive!"
Ongoing peer support spaces, hosted weekly on Sharewell.
An open group for anyone touched by addiction — using, newly stopped, or years in recovery.
For anyone who wants honest conversation and a space where they're not carrying it alone.
Building the steadiness that recovery and hard seasons of life both ask of us.
