Addiction Counselling for Hull, without the journey
Across Hull, from the Old Town and the marina to Newland Avenue, Bransholme and Hessle Road, and from the streets around the marina, the Deep and the Humber Bridge, online addiction counselling takes the logistics out of getting help: no commute, no waiting room, and the focus kept where it belongs, on you.
Although my practice sits on the Sussex coast in Hove, distance is no obstacle. People in Hull work with me online and receive exactly the same specialist, confidential support as anyone who walks through the door.
I also work online with people elsewhere in Yorkshire & North East, including York, Leeds, Sheffield.
If you would still prefer to meet in person and can travel to the Sussex coast, you are welcome to, but for most clients in Hull online addiction counselling is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Hull
Why people in Hull reach out
Hull is a proud port city on the Humber with a strong fishing heritage and a renewed cultural energy, but it has also weathered real hardship and isolation at the end of the line. Insecure work, money pressure and the distance from other cities shape much of what people here carry.
Life by the sea has a slower, gentler rhythm, but it can also leave you feeling a long way from things, including good specialist support. A secure video link closes that distance completely.

Why online works in Hull
Why people in Hull choose online counselling
Around shift work
If your hours follow the rhythm of the port, online sessions bend around shifts rather than the other way round.
Human, even on a screen
The technology fades within minutes. What remains is a real, attentive conversation, the same one we'd have sitting in the room together.
Gentle when leaving home is hard
If anxiety, low mood or avoidance make leaving the house feel like too much right now, starting online from Hull can be the gentlest possible way in.
Less time lost from work
An online hour rarely costs you a half-day, which is what makes regular sessions realistic for busy lives in Hull.
How online sessions work
Underneath the screen, the therapy itself works like this. My approach is integrative and person-centred. Rather than white-knuckling your way through, we look at both the habit and the unmet needs beneath it, so recovery is sustainable. Where trauma is involved I draw on the Human Givens Rewind Technique, Internal Family Systems and solution-focused work.
The setup is light: somewhere quiet, a phone, tablet or laptop, and a workable connection. We open with a free fifteen-minute call, and after that each session is a secure link you click when the time comes.

Start the conversationFinding support in Hull
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Hull, you can refer yourself directly to NHS Hull Talking Therapies for free NHS talking therapy, with no GP referral needed. You can also find your nearest service through the NHS Talking Therapies finder.
Private sessions with me usually mean you can start sooner, stay with the same counsellor throughout, and work at greater depth and pace; the two can run side by side, and I'm glad to work alongside any NHS or GP support you already have.
If you need urgent help now
This practice is not a crisis service. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 999.
For urgent mental health support, call NHS 111 and choose the mental health option. The Samaritans are free, day or night, on 116 123, or text SHOUT to 85258.
Hull questions
Online Addiction Counselling in Hull: common questions
Do you offer online addiction counselling for people in Hull?
Yes. I work with clients in Hull and right across the UK by secure video. You don't need to live near Brighton or Hove; online addiction counselling brings the same care to wherever you are.
How does online addiction counselling work from Hull?
We meet over a secure, private video link at a time that suits you. You'll need a quiet space, a device with a camera and a steady connection. We always begin with a free fifteen-minute call so you can ask questions and check the fit.
Does online therapy really work?
Online and in-person therapy are similarly effective for most people, and clients usually settle quickly once the screen fades into the background and the conversation takes over.
Can I use the NHS in Hull as well as seeing you?
Yes, and many people do both. You can access support from NHS Hull Talking Therapies alongside our work; private counselling simply means you can usually start sooner and stay with the same counsellor throughout. I'm happy to work alongside any NHS support you're receiving.
