Communication and conflict
Breaking the cycle of the same argument.
Online Relationship Counselling · Cambridge
Online relationship counselling for Cambridge, by secure video. From a base in Hove I work with people across Cambridge — from the colleges and the centre to the streets around the Backs — with the same BACP-registered, confidential support as an in-person session, and no journey.
In and around Cambridge
Life in Cambridge
Cambridge carries an extraordinary concentration of academic and professional high achievement, and with it some of the highest living costs in the country. The pressure to perform, whether you are a student, a researcher or working in its booming science and tech sector, can leave little room to admit you are struggling.
With the academic year setting a relentless pace, online sessions flex around terms, deadlines and shift work rather than fighting them.
Cambridge is home to the University of Cambridge and Addenbrooke's Hospital on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus (Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust); NHS mental health services are provided by Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust.
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.
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.

My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally. In Cambridge, you can refer yourself directly to NHS Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Talking Therapies for free NHS talking therapy, with no GP referral needed.
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.

Cambridge questions
Yes. I work with people right across Cambridge, from the colleges and the centre outwards, and anywhere else in East of England, by secure video — no need to travel to Hove, and just as confidential as meeting in the room.
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.
Yes. Online makes it easy for couples in different places, or juggling childcare, to attend together.
No. We look at the pattern the two of you create together and where it gets stuck, not at who is to blame.
A free fifteen-minute call is the simplest place to start — no obligation, just a chance to see if we are the right fit.
