Depression Counselling for Craigavon, without the journey

From the heart of Craigavon, near the lakes, the linen heritage and the Lough Neagh shore, out to its edges, from Lurgan and Portadown to Brownlow and the linked centre, online sessions make it possible to get the right support without rearranging your whole day around a single appointment.

From my base in Hove, I see clients all over the country by video. For someone in Craigavon, that opens up an experienced, BACP-registered specialist without the need to find one on your own doorstep.

I also work online with people elsewhere in Northern Ireland, including Lisburn, Newry, Belfast.

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 Craigavon online depression counselling is the natural and effective choice.

Life in Craigavon

Why people in Craigavon reach out

Craigavon is a planned new town stitching together Lurgan and Portadown in County Armagh, and its dispersed, planned layout can make it harder to feel rooted. Insecure work, the legacy of division and the spread-out geography all shape what people here carry.

Newer and fast-growing towns are full of people who arrived from somewhere else, often without the family and old friends who used to be close by. Online counselling offers a steady, confidential connection while you build a life here.

How online sessions work

Once the practical side is sorted, this is what the work looks like. Rather than analysing every thought endlessly, we focus on what is actually impacting your daily life right now. Our sessions are structured but flexible, using straightforward exercises to help you regain direction and rebuild emotional resilience.

Practically, it couldn't be simpler: a quiet room, a device with a camera, and a steady internet connection. After a free fifteen-minute call to check the fit, you'll get a private link to join at our agreed time.

Finding support in Craigavon

My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Craigavon, your GP can refer you to talking therapies and counselling through Health and Social Care. You can find support through Lifeline, Northern Ireland's crisis helpline, free on 0808 808 8000.

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 Lifeline free on 0808 808 8000. Lifeline is free on 0808 808 8000, and the Samaritans are on 116 123.
