Life in Blackpool

Why people in Blackpool reach out

Blackpool is Britain's best-known seaside resort and also home to some of the most acute deprivation in the country. Seasonal and insecure work, transient housing and the long quiet winters once the crowds have gone leave real and lasting strain, and good support is badly stretched.

A seaside town can feel cut off once the season ends and the front goes quiet, so online support that does not depend on who happens to practise nearby matters here.

Blackpool's economy centres on seaside tourism, including the Blackpool Tower and the Pleasure Beach, and its main hospital is Blackpool Victoria Hospital. The town has among the most acute deprivation in England.

The relationship counselling itself

Relationship counselling here, for couples or individuals, slows down the pattern you are caught in and builds healthier ways of hearing and being heard.

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 relationship counselling 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.

Finding support in Blackpool

My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally. In Blackpool, 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 and stay with the same counsellor throughout; I am glad to work alongside any NHS or GP support you already have.

If you need urgent help now

This is not a crisis service. If anyone 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.

Blackpool questions

Online Relationship Counselling in Blackpool: common questions

Can I get online relationship counselling if I live in Blackpool?

Yes. I work with people right across Blackpool, from the Golden Mile and the Tower outwards, and anywhere else in North West, by secure video — no need to travel to Hove, and just as confidential as meeting in the room.

Can I come on my own, without my partner?

Yes. A great deal can change when one person shifts the pattern; you do not need to attend as a couple to do useful work.

Can we join the session from different locations?

Yes. Online makes it easy for couples in different places, or juggling childcare, to attend together.

Will you take sides?

No. We look at the pattern the two of you create together and where it gets stuck, not at who is to blame.
