Online Depression Counselling · Newry
Online depression counselling for Newry, by secure video. From a base in Hove I work with people across Newry — from the city centre and the canal to the streets around the cathedral — with the same BACP-registered, confidential support as an in-person session, and no journey.
In and around Newry
Life in Newry
Newry is a city on the border with the Republic, long shaped by its frontier position and the cross-border economy. The legacy of the Troubles, the uncertainty that comes with life on the border and rural isolation nearby all shape the pressures people here carry.
Border communities can feel far from the nearest city and its services; online brings discreet, experienced support directly to you.
Newry is served by Daisy Hill Hospital under the Southern HSC Trust and is home to Norbrook Laboratories, one of the area's largest private employers, sitting on the border with the Republic of Ireland.
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.

My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally. In Newry, 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 and stay with the same counsellor throughout; I am glad to work alongside any NHS or GP support you already have.

Newry questions
Yes. I work with people right across Newry, from the city centre and the canal outwards, and anywhere else in Northern Ireland, 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.
