Life in London
Why people in London reach out
London moves fast and rarely pauses. Long hours, high housing costs and crowded commutes leave little room to stop and feel, and the sheer scale of the city can be isolating even when you are never really alone. Time and privacy are the scarce commodities here, which is exactly why a confidential hour that comes to you, rather than one you have to cross the capital for, so often makes the difference.
Capital-city life is exhilarating and exhausting at once, with time and privacy always short; an hour that comes to you is often what makes therapy possible.
London is served by major teaching hospitals and universities (UCL, King's College London, Imperial) and the City of London financial district; mental-health and addiction provision is commissioned separately by each of the 32 boroughs.
The depression counselling itself
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.
How online sessions 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.

Finding support in London
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally. In London, you can refer yourself directly to your local borough's NHS Talking Therapies service for free NHS talking therapy, with no GP referral needed.
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.
Other local and national support verified for this area includes:
If you need urgent help now
This is not a crisis service. If anyone 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.
London questions
Online Depression Counselling in London: common questions
Can I get online depression counselling if I live in London?
Yes. I work with people right across London, from the inner boroughs outwards, and anywhere else in London & South East, by secure video — no need to travel to Hove, and just as confidential as meeting in the room.
What if I don't have the motivation to attend?
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.
Will I have to talk about my whole past?
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.
Can counselling help alongside antidepressants?
Yes. Many people do both; talking therapy and medication work on different things, and I am glad to work alongside your GP.
