Life in Leicester

Why people in Leicester reach out

Leicester is one of the most diverse cities in the country, a place of many communities living closely together. The pressures of city life, money, housing and the work of holding family and tradition alongside modern life, can build quietly, and privacy can matter all the more in close-knit communities.

With the academic year setting a relentless pace, online sessions flex around terms, deadlines and shift work rather than fighting them.

Leicester is home to the University of Leicester and De Montfort University, and Leicester Royal Infirmary is one of the busiest emergency departments in the country.

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 Leicester

My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally. In Leicester, 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.

Other local and national support verified for this area includes:

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.

Leicester questions

Online Relationship Counselling in Leicester: common questions

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

Yes. I work with people right across Leicester, from the centre and the Cultural Quarter outwards, and anywhere else in Midlands, 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.
