Addiction Counselling for Salisbury, without the journey
From the heart of Salisbury, near the cathedral, the water meadows and nearby Stonehenge, out to its edges, from the cathedral close and the centre to Bemerton, Harnham and Laverstock, online sessions make it possible to get the right support without rearranging your whole day around a single appointment.
I'm based in Hove on the Sussex coast and work with clients right across the UK by secure video. For Salisbury, that means a BACP-registered counsellor specialising in addiction, anxiety, depression, relationships and trauma, available from the privacy of your own space.
I also work online with people elsewhere in South West, including Southampton, Swindon, Bristol.
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 Salisbury online addiction counselling is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Salisbury
Why people in Salisbury reach out
Salisbury is a historic cathedral city with a strong military presence on the surrounding plain, and the forces connection brings deployments, moves and the strain on families that follows. A genteel surface can make it hard to admit when things are difficult.
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 Salisbury
Why people in Salisbury choose online counselling
Private and unhurried
A confidential online hour asks nothing of appearances and meets you exactly where you are.
A wider choice of specialist
Working online means people in Salisbury 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.
The same confidentiality
Sessions run on a secure, encrypted video link, and everything is held to the same strict BACP confidentiality as work done in person.
How online sessions work
Beyond the practicalities, this is the heart of how the work goes. 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.
You don't need any special software, just a private space, a device with a camera and a decent connection. We always start with a free fifteen-minute call, and from then on you simply click a secure link at the time we've set.

Start the conversationFinding support in Salisbury
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Salisbury, you can refer yourself directly to NHS talking therapies for anxiety and depression, with no GP referral needed. You can find support 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.
Salisbury questions
Online Addiction Counselling in Salisbury: common questions
Do you offer online addiction counselling for people in Salisbury?
Yes. I work with clients in Salisbury 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.
What do I need to start online sessions in Salisbury?
Very little: a private space where you won't be interrupted, a laptop, tablet or phone, and a reasonable internet connection. After a free fifteen-minute call, I send a secure link you click at our agreed time.
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.
Is online counselling private and confidential?
Yes. Sessions run on a secure, encrypted video link, and everything we discuss is held to the same strict BACP confidentiality as work done in person. All you need at your end is a private space.
