Depression Counselling for Inverness, without the journey
Across Inverness, from the centre and the castle to Crown, Hilton and Inshes, and from the streets around the castle, the river Ness and the Highlands beyond, online depression counselling takes the logistics out of getting help: no commute, no waiting room, and the focus kept where it belongs, on you.
My room is in Hove, but the work reaches a great deal further. By secure video I support people throughout the UK, Inverness included, with the same care and attention as an in-person session.
I also work online with people elsewhere in Scotland, including Aberdeen, Perth, Edinburgh.
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 Inverness online depression counselling is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Inverness
Why people in Inverness reach out
Inverness is the capital of the Highlands, a small city serving a vast and sparsely populated region where the nearest specialist can be hundreds of miles away. That remoteness, the long dark winters and the isolation of rural Highland life all shape what people here carry.
In a settled, well-kept town where people tend to know one another, there can be a quiet pressure to look as though everything is fine. Online counselling keeps the whole thing private, with nobody to pass in a waiting room.

Why online works in Inverness
Why people in Inverness choose online counselling
Discreet in a close-knit place
In a town where people know one another, online sessions keep your support entirely private.
The comfort of your own space
Many people find it easier to open up from their own sofa than in an unfamiliar room. From Inverness, that comfort is part of the work, not a compromise.
Begin sooner
Rather than waiting for a local appointment to come free, an online slot often means you can start the work much sooner.
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.
How online sessions work
Beyond the practicalities, this is the heart of how the work goes. 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.
All it takes at your end is a private spot where you can talk freely, a device with a camera, and a steady signal. We begin with a free fifteen-minute call, then I send a link you join at our agreed time each week.

Start the conversationFinding support in Inverness
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Inverness, your GP can refer you to NHS psychological therapies, and you can find trusted self-help through NHS inform. You can find support through NHS inform; for confidential listening support, Breathing Space is free on 0800 83 85 87.
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 24 on 111 for urgent mental health support. Breathing Space is free on 0800 83 85 87, and the Samaritans are on 116 123.
Inverness questions
