Counselling for Drinking Problems for Swindon, without the journey
From the heart of Swindon, near the railway heritage, the Magic Roundabout and the Old Town, out to its edges, from the Old Town and the centre to Old Walcot, Stratton and West Swindon, online sessions make it possible to get the right support without rearranging your whole day around a single appointment.
From my base in Hove, I see clients all over the country by video. For someone in Swindon, 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 South West, including Bristol, Bath, 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 Swindon online counselling for drinking problems is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Swindon
Why people in Swindon reach out
Swindon grew on the railway and now runs largely on commuting and distribution work, sitting on the fast line between Bristol and London. Long hours, target-driven jobs and a town many people moved to for work rather than roots can leave wellbeing low on the list until something gives.
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 Swindon
Why people in Swindon choose online counselling
Built around your commute
If your week in Swindon 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 Swindon 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 Swindon.
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
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 Swindon
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Swindon, you can refer yourself directly to NHS talking therapies for anxiety and depression, with no GP referral needed. You can find support 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.
Swindon questions
Online Counselling for Drinking Problems in Swindon: common questions
Do you offer online counselling for drinking problems for people in Swindon?
Yes. I work with clients in Swindon and right across the UK by secure video. You don't need to live near Brighton or Hove; online counselling for drinking problems brings the same care to wherever you are.
What do I need to start online sessions in Swindon?
Very little: a private space where you won't be interrupted, a laptop, tablet or phone, and a reasonable internet connection. After a free fifteen-minute call, I send a secure link you click at our agreed time.
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 Swindon as well as seeing you?
Yes, and many people do both. You can access support from your local NHS talking therapies or counselling 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.
