Counselling for Drinking Problems for Peterborough, without the journey
Known for the cathedral, the river Nene and the fenland beyond, Peterborough is a place of real character, with clients coming to me from from the cathedral and the centre to Bretton, Orton and Werrington. 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 Peterborough, 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 East of England, including Cambridge, Kettering, Lincoln.
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 Peterborough online counselling for drinking problems is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Peterborough
Why people in Peterborough reach out
Peterborough has grown quickly as a cathedral city and distribution hub on the edge of the Fens, drawing many new arrivals for work and affordable housing. Insecure and shift-based work, money pressure and the task of building a life without established networks all shape what people here carry.
Newer and fast-growing towns are full of people who arrived from somewhere else, often without the family and old friends who used to be close by. Online counselling offers a steady, confidential connection while you build a life here.

Why online works in Peterborough
Why people in Peterborough choose online counselling
Built around your commute
If your week in Peterborough runs on the early train and the late return, online sessions slot into the day without adding another journey to it.
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.
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 Peterborough can be the gentlest possible way in.
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 Peterborough
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Peterborough, 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.
Peterborough questions

Absolutely. Peterborough 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.
