Anxiety Counselling for Canterbury, without the journey
Known for the cathedral, the city walls and the Stour, Canterbury is a place of real character, with clients coming to me from from the city walls and the centre to Wincheap, St Stephen's and Hales Place. Wherever you are across it, online counselling means experienced support without the travel, fitted around work, family and everything else.
Hove is where my room is, but the support is not tied to Sussex. Over a secure link I work with people in Canterbury and far beyond, with the same depth and confidentiality as meeting face to face.
I also work online with people elsewhere in London & South East, including Ashford, Margate, Maidstone.
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 Canterbury online anxiety counselling is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Canterbury
Why people in Canterbury reach out
Canterbury blends a world-famous cathedral city with a large student population across its universities, and the two worlds bring different strains: the academic pressure and homesickness of student life, and a high cost of living in a small, historic city. For many, being surrounded by people their own age does little to ease a deeper sense of being unmoored.
Beneath the calm, postcard surface of a historic city, struggle can be hard to voice. Online counselling offers a private route to support that asks nothing of appearances.

Why online works in Canterbury
Why people in Canterbury choose online counselling
Private and unhurried
A confidential online hour asks nothing of appearances and meets you exactly where you are.
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 Canterbury.
Support that travels
If you move, travel for work or split your time between places, online counselling carries on uninterrupted wherever you happen to be.
No commute, no waiting room
From Canterbury, 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.
How online sessions work
Underneath the screen, the therapy itself works like this. I take a solution-focused, practical approach that works on the problems actually affecting your day-to-day life. We cover simple, deliberate exercises that help calm your nervous system and respond differently when anxiety shows up.
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 Canterbury
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Canterbury, you can refer yourself directly to NHS Talking Therapies Kent and Medway 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.
