Counselling for Drinking Problems for Bath, without the journey
From the heart of Bath, near the Roman Baths, the Royal Crescent and the Abbey, out to its edges, from the Georgian centre and the river to Widcombe, Oldfield Park and Twerton, online sessions make it possible to get the right support without rearranging your whole day around a single appointment.
I'm based in Hove on the Sussex coast and work with clients right across the UK by secure video. For Bath, that means a BACP-registered counsellor specialising in addiction, anxiety, depression, relationships and trauma, available from the privacy of your own space.
I also work online with people elsewhere in South West, including Bristol, Swindon, Plymouth.
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 Bath online counselling for drinking problems is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Bath
Why people in Bath reach out
Behind Bath's honey-stone elegance and World Heritage streets sit a high cost of living and a large student population, and the pressure to match the city's polished image can make struggle feel out of place. Tourism and term times set a restless rhythm that can leave residents feeling oddly unsettled in such a beautiful place.
In a well-heeled town, the pressure to maintain a certain standard can make admitting to struggle feel awkward. Online counselling is entirely discreet, with no clinic to be seen entering.

Why online works in Bath
Why people in Bath choose online counselling
Entirely discreet
No clinic to be seen entering and no one to pass on the way in; online keeps the whole thing private.
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.
Gentle when leaving home is hard
If anxiety, low mood or avoidance make leaving the house feel like too much right now, starting online from Bath can be the gentlest possible way in.
How online sessions work
Here's what actually happens once we begin. In our sessions we take an integrative approach, viewing your difficulties from an existential and humanistic perspective. Because you are the one who knows yourself best, my role is to walk alongside you as you build genuine alternatives to drinking.
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 Bath
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Bath, you can refer yourself directly to NHS talking therapies for anxiety and depression, with no GP referral needed. You can find support through the NHS Talking Therapies finder.
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 111 and choose the mental health option. The Samaritans are free, day or night, on 116 123, or text SHOUT to 85258.

Yes. Sessions run on a secure, encrypted video link, and everything we discuss is held to the same strict BACP confidentiality as work done in person. All you need at your end is a private space.
