Counselling for Drinking Problems for London, without the journey
From the heart of London, near the City, the West End, the river and the great parks, out to its edges, from the inner boroughs to the outer suburbs, Zone 1 out to the edges of the M25, online sessions make it possible to get the right support without rearranging your whole day around a single appointment.
Hove is where my room is, but the support is not tied to Sussex. Over a secure link I work with people in London and far beyond, with the same depth and confidentiality as meeting face to face.
I also work online with people elsewhere in London & South East, including Watford, Slough, Reading.
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 London online counselling for drinking problems is the natural and effective choice.
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.
The pace and scale of a busy urban area can be isolating even when you are never really alone. A session you join from your own space keeps the focus on you, not on the journey there.

Why online works in London
Why people in London choose online counselling
Built around your commute
If your week in London runs on the early train and the late return, online sessions slot into the day without adding another journey to it.
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 London can be the gentlest possible way in.
Less time lost from work
An online hour rarely costs you a half-day, which is what makes regular sessions realistic for busy lives in London.
Support that travels
If you move, travel for work or split your time between places, online counselling carries on uninterrupted wherever you happen to be.
How online sessions work
However we meet, the approach stays consistent. 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.
Sessions run over a secure video link. All you need is a private space where you won't be interrupted, a laptop, tablet or phone, and a reasonable connection. We begin with a free fifteen-minute call, then I send a simple link you click at the agreed time.

Start the conversationFinding support in London
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. 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. 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.
London questions
Online Counselling for Drinking Problems in London: common questions
Can I have online counselling for drinking problems if I live in London?
Absolutely. London is well within reach, because we meet by secure video rather than in person. You'll get exactly the same specialist support as someone sitting in my Hove room.
How does online counselling for drinking problems work from London?
We meet over a secure, private video link at a time that suits you. You'll need a quiet space, a device with a camera and a steady connection. We always begin with a free fifteen-minute call so you can ask questions and check the fit.
Is online counselling for drinking problems as effective as meeting in person?
For most people, yes. Online therapy can be just as effective as meeting face to face, and many find it easier to open up from home. Everything is held with the same strict confidentiality as in-person work.
Can I use the NHS in London as well as seeing you?
Yes, and many people do both. You can access support from your local borough's NHS Talking Therapies service alongside our work; private counselling simply means you can usually start sooner and stay with the same counsellor throughout. I'm happy to work alongside any NHS support you're receiving.
