Addiction Counselling for Norwich, without the journey
From the heart of Norwich, near the cathedral, the castle and the medieval lanes, out to its edges, from the cathedral and the centre to the Golden Triangle, Mile Cross and Thorpe Hamlet, online sessions make it possible to get the right support without rearranging your whole day around a single appointment.
Hove is where my room is, but the support is not tied to Sussex. Over a secure link I work with people in Norwich and far beyond, with the same depth and confidentiality as meeting face to face.
I also work online with people elsewhere in East of England, including Cambridge, Ipswich, King's Lynn.
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 Norwich online addiction counselling is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Norwich
Why people in Norwich reach out
Norwich is a fine medieval city somewhat set apart at the heart of rural Norfolk, a long way by road from other centres. A large student population, low rural wages across the wider county and that sense of isolation all shape the pressures people here carry.
Smaller towns can be close-knit in ways that are both comforting and exposing. Working online means you can seek support discreetly, without being seen coming and going.

Why online works in Norwich
Why people in Norwich choose online counselling
Around terms and deadlines
Sessions flex around the academic calendar and shift work, so support holds steady through the busiest weeks.
No commute, no waiting room
From Norwich, there's no journey across town and no waiting room. You join from wherever feels safe, and the rest of your day simply carries on around the session.
A wider choice of specialist
Working online means people in Norwich aren't limited to whoever practises locally. You can choose the counsellor who genuinely fits the issue you're facing, not just the nearest one.
Easier to keep to
A weekly session you can take from home is far simpler to protect than one that needs travel. That consistency is exactly where lasting change comes from.
How online sessions work
Once the practical side is sorted, this is what the work looks like. 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.
Sessions run over a secure video link. All you need is a private space where you won't be interrupted, a laptop, tablet or phone, and a reasonable connection. We begin with a free fifteen-minute call, then I send a simple link you click at the agreed time.

Start the conversationFinding support in Norwich
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Norwich, you can refer yourself directly to Norfolk and Waveney 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.
Norwich questions
Online Addiction Counselling in Norwich: common questions
