Life in Dover
Why people in Dover reach out
Dover is defined by its port and its cliffs, a working frontier town where the cross-Channel economy brings shift work, uncertainty and the strain of an industry exposed to every political and economic shift. As one of the more deprived parts of the south east, it can feel a long way from easy help, and pride often keeps people from asking.
Where work follows shifts and the rhythm of the docks, online sessions bend around unsociable hours rather than asking you to fit your life around them.
Dover is dominated by the Port of Dover, the UK's busiest international ferry port, on the Kent coast.
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 Dover
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally. In Dover, you can refer yourself directly to NHS Talking Therapies in Kent and Medway 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.

Dover questions
Online Relationship Counselling in Dover: common questions
Can I get online relationship counselling if I live in Dover?
Yes. I work with people right across Dover, from the seafront and the town outwards, and anywhere else in London & South East, 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.
