Counselling for Drinking Problems for Horsham, without the journey

From the heart of Horsham, near the Carfax, the Causeway and the surrounding Weald, out to its edges, from the Carfax and the old centre out to Roffey, Broadbridge Heath and Southwater, 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 Horsham, 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 London & South East, including Crawley, Chichester, London.

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 Horsham online counselling for drinking problems is the natural and effective choice.

Life in Horsham

Why people in Horsham reach out

Horsham is a prosperous market town with a long commuter line into London, and that comfortable surface can hide real strain. The early-train, late-home routine leaves little of the day for yourself, and in a settled town where people tend to know one another, there can be a quiet pressure to look as though everything is fine.

In a settled, well-kept town where people tend to know one another, there can be a quiet pressure to look as though everything is fine. Online counselling keeps the whole thing private, with nobody to pass in a waiting room.

Why online works in Horsham

Why people in Horsham choose online counselling

Discreet in a close-knit place

In a town where people know one another, online sessions keep your support entirely private.

The comfort of your own space

Many people find it easier to open up from their own sofa than in an unfamiliar room. From Horsham, 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.

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.

How online sessions work

The method itself is the same online as it is in the room. 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.

Practically, it couldn't be simpler: a quiet room, a device with a camera, and a steady internet connection. After a free fifteen-minute call to check the fit, you'll get a private link to join at our agreed time.

Finding support in Horsham

My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Horsham, you can refer yourself directly to NHS West Sussex 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.
