Life in Gateshead
Why people in Gateshead reach out
Gateshead sits across the Tyne from Newcastle, a town reshaped by industrial decline and by regeneration along its quays. Insecure work, money pressure and the contrast between landmark culture and hard-pressed neighbourhoods all shape the pressures people carry.
Where the old industries have gone and there is a strong culture of just getting on with things, online keeps support discreet and within reach however stretched the week.
Gateshead is served by Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust (the Queen Elizabeth Hospital) and is known for landmarks along its Tyne quayside, including the Angel of the North, the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art and The Glasshouse International Centre for Music.
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 Gateshead
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally. In Gateshead, 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.

Gateshead questions
Online Relationship Counselling in Gateshead: common questions
Can I get online relationship counselling if I live in Gateshead?
Yes. I work with people right across Gateshead, from the Quays and the centre outwards, and anywhere else in Yorkshire & North 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.
