Counselling for Drinking Problems for Nottingham, without the journey
Known for the castle, the Old Market Square and the two universities, Nottingham is a place of real character, with clients coming to me from from the centre and the Lace Market to Hyson Green, Sneinton and Beeston. Wherever you are across it, online counselling means experienced support without the travel, fitted around work, family and everything else.
From my base in Hove, I see clients all over the country by video. For someone in Nottingham, that opens up an experienced, BACP-registered specialist without the need to find one on your own doorstep.
I also work online with people elsewhere in Midlands, including Leicester, Derby, Sheffield.
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 Nottingham online counselling for drinking problems is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Nottingham
Why people in Nottingham reach out
Nottingham is a lively city with two big universities and a strong creative streak, but it also carries real inequality and a reputation for hardship in parts. Student pressure, insecure work and money worries sit side by side here, and the busy centre can mask a good deal of private struggle.
In a big, fast-moving place it is easy to feel anonymous and hard to find a moment of genuine privacy. Online counselling brings a confidential hour to wherever you are, without crossing the city for it.
What I help with
How online counselling for drinking problems can help
The cause, not the habit
Looking beneath the drinking to what drives it.
Anxiety and low mood
Working with what the alcohol has been managing.
Privacy at home
Sensitive support without anyone needing to know.
Signposting
Links to medical, detox and peer support where useful.
Without the anaesthetic
Reconnecting with the person beneath the drinking.
Why online works in Nottingham
Why people in Nottingham choose online counselling
Around terms and deadlines
Sessions flex around the academic calendar and shift work, so support holds steady through the busiest weeks.
Easier to keep to
A weekly session you can take from home is far simpler to protect than one that needs travel. That consistency is exactly where lasting change comes from.
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 Nottingham, that comfort is part of the work, not a compromise.
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.
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 Nottingham
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Nottingham, you can refer yourself directly to Nottingham and Nottinghamshire 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.
