Counselling for Drinking Problems for Cambridge, without the journey
Across Cambridge, from the colleges and the centre to Mill Road, Cherry Hinton and Chesterton, and from the streets around the colleges, the Backs and the river Cam, online counselling for drinking problems takes the logistics out of getting help: no commute, no waiting room, and the focus kept where it belongs, on you.
Hove is where my room is, but the support is not tied to Sussex. Over a secure link I work with people in Cambridge and far beyond, with the same depth and confidentiality as meeting face to face.
I also work online with people elsewhere in East of England, including Peterborough, Norwich, Ipswich.
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 Cambridge online counselling for drinking problems is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Cambridge
Why people in Cambridge reach out
Cambridge carries an extraordinary concentration of academic and professional high achievement, and with it some of the highest living costs in the country. The pressure to perform, whether you are a student, a researcher or working in its booming science and tech sector, can leave little room to admit you are struggling.
In a university city the academic year sets a relentless pace, and the pressure to keep performing can make it hard to admit you are struggling. Online sessions fit around terms, deadlines and shift patterns rather than fighting them.
What I help with

The cause, not the habit

Privacy at home
Sensitive support without anyone needing to know.

Without the anaesthetic
Reconnecting with the person beneath the drinking.
Why online works in Cambridge
Why people in Cambridge choose online counselling
Around terms and deadlines
Sessions flex around the academic calendar and shift work, so support holds steady through the busiest weeks.
The same confidentiality
Sessions run on a secure, encrypted video link, and everything is held to the same strict BACP confidentiality as work done in person.
The comfort of your own space
Many people find it easier to open up from their own sofa than in an unfamiliar room. From Cambridge, 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.
How online sessions work
Once the practical side is sorted, this is what the work looks like. 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.
The setup is light: somewhere quiet, a phone, tablet or laptop, and a workable connection. We open with a free fifteen-minute call, and after that each session is a secure link you click when the time comes.

Start the conversationFinding support in Cambridge
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Cambridge, you can refer yourself directly to NHS Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Talking Therapies for free NHS talking therapy, with no GP referral needed. You can also find your nearest service 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.
