Life in Wrexham
Why people in Wrexham reach out
Wrexham, the largest town in north Wales and newly a city, grew on coal, steel and brewing and has felt their loss. Insecure work, money worries and the distance from larger centres in a border region all shape what people here carry, even as the town enjoys a new wave of attention.
In a close-knit town where people tend to know one another, online keeps support entirely private, with nobody to pass in a waiting room.
Wrexham, granted city status in 2022, is home to Wrexham University and the Wrexham Maelor Hospital under Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, plus Wrexham AFC at the Racecourse Ground.

These figures are local context from official sources — not a description of you — but they show the scale of what people in and around Wrexham are living with, and why local support matters.
In Wrexham the age-standardised alcohol-specific death rate was 14.5 per 100,000 in 2022 to 2024, below the Wales average of 16.6 per 100,000. Source: Office for National Statistics (ONS), Alcohol-specific deaths in England and Wales by local authority (2022 to 2024).

The counselling for drinking problems itself
Counselling for drinking problems here looks beneath the habit at what drives it — you do not need to have hit rock bottom to begin — and signposts medical, detox and peer support where useful.
The approach is the same wherever you live, so rather than repeat it on every page you can read it in full — the methods, what each session covers and fees — on the main counselling for drinking problems page and on how I work.
How online sessions work
Sessions run over a secure, encrypted video link held to the same strict BACP confidentiality as meeting in person. After a free fifteen-minute call to check we are a good fit, you join each session from any private space using a phone, tablet or laptop — no software to install, no waiting room and no journey at either end.

Wrexham questions
Online Counselling for Drinking Problems in Wrexham: common questions
Can I get online counselling for drinking problems if I live in Wrexham?
Yes. I work with people right across Wrexham, from the town centre and the church outwards, and anywhere else in Wales, by secure video — no need to travel to Hove, and just as confidential as meeting in the room.
Do I have to stop drinking completely to start?
No, and you do not need to have hit rock bottom. We look at the role drinking plays and find a steadier way forward at your pace.
Can you help me cut down rather than quit?
For many people moderation is a valid goal, and we will be honest together about what is realistic for you.
What if I've tried before and relapsed?
Relapse is part of many people's recovery, not a failure. We learn from it rather than start the count again from zero.
