Counselling for Drinking Problems for Manchester, without the journey
Across Manchester, from the city centre and the Northern Quarter to Didsbury, Rusholme, Chorlton and Wythenshawe, and from the streets around the canals, the music venues and the two universities, 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.
My room is in Hove, but the work reaches a great deal further. By secure video I support people throughout the UK, Manchester included, with the same care and attention as an in-person session.
I also work online with people elsewhere in North West, including Bolton, Stockport, Oldham.
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 Manchester online counselling for drinking problems is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Manchester
Why people in Manchester reach out
Manchester moves at speed, a young, creative, fast-growing city of music, sport and tech, and that energy can be as exhausting as it is exciting. Soaring rents, long hours and the loneliness that can hide inside a busy city all take a toll, and finding time and privacy for yourself is hard.
Student and academic life can be intense and surprisingly lonely, even surrounded by people your own age. Working online keeps support steady through term and vacation alike, wherever you are.

Why online works in Manchester
Why people in Manchester choose online counselling
Privacy in a crowded city
In a place as busy as Manchester, a confidential hour from your own space means no chance of being seen coming or going.
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.
No commute, no waiting room
From Manchester, there's no journey across town and no waiting room. You join from wherever feels safe, and the rest of your day simply carries on around the session.
A wider choice of specialist
Working online means people in Manchester aren't limited to whoever practises locally. You can choose the counsellor who genuinely fits the issue you're facing, not just the nearest one.
How online sessions work
Beyond the practicalities, this is the heart of how the work goes. 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.

Start the conversationFinding support in Manchester
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Manchester, you can refer yourself directly to Manchester 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.
Manchester questions
Online Counselling for Drinking Problems in Manchester: common questions

Does online therapy really work?
Online and in-person therapy are similarly effective for most people, and clients usually settle quickly once the screen fades into the background and the conversation takes over.

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.
