Persistent low mood
Support for ongoing sadness and emotional heaviness.
Online Depression Counselling · Llanelli
Online depression counselling for Llanelli, by secure video. From a base in Hove I work with people across Llanelli — from the town centre and the Millennium Coastal Path to the streets around the rugby heritage — with the same BACP-registered, confidential support as an in-person session, and no journey.
In and around Llanelli
Life in Llanelli
Llanelli, a coastal town in Carmarthenshire once known for tinplate, has lived through the decline of its industries. Insecure work, money worries and the distance from larger centres in west Wales all shape the pressures people here carry.
In tightly-held valley communities a long way from specialist help, a secure video link closes the distance and keeps the work private.
Llanelli in Carmarthenshire is served by Prince Philip Hospital under Hywel Dda University Health Board and is home to Parc y Scarlets, the stadium of the Scarlets regional rugby side, reflecting the town's strong rugby heritage.
Depression counselling here is steady and structured: we focus on the low mood, lost motivation and disconnection affecting you now, and on rebuilding the energy, routine and self-worth that hold a day together.
The approach is the same wherever you live, so rather than repeat it on every page you can read it in full — the methods, what each session covers and fees — on the main depression counselling page and on how I work.
Sessions run over a secure, encrypted video link held to the same strict BACP confidentiality as meeting in person. After a free fifteen-minute call to check we are a good fit, you join each session from any private space using a phone, tablet or laptop — no software to install, no waiting room and no journey at either end.

Private sessions with me usually mean you can start sooner and stay with the same counsellor throughout; I am glad to work alongside any NHS or GP support you already have.

Llanelli questions
Yes. I work with people right across Llanelli, from the town centre and the Millennium Coastal Path outwards, and anywhere else in Wales, by secure video — no need to travel to Hove, and just as confidential as meeting in the room.
Low motivation is part of depression, not a sign you are unsuited to therapy. Working online removes the journey, which is often the hardest part on a flat day.
Only as much as helps. We focus on what is weighing on you now and on small, doable steps, rather than analysing everything that has ever happened.
Yes. Many people do both; talking therapy and medication work on different things, and I am glad to work alongside your GP.
A free fifteen-minute call is the simplest place to start — no obligation, just a chance to see if we are the right fit.
