Life in Lisburn

Why people in Lisburn reach out

Lisburn is a city just south-west of Belfast, close enough to share the capital's commuter rhythm and its history. The legacy of the past, money pressure and the strain of commuting all shape what people here carry.

In a close-knit town where people tend to know one another, online keeps support entirely private, with nobody to pass in a waiting room.

Lisburn is served by Lagan Valley Hospital and falls within the South Eastern HSC Trust, sitting on the commuter corridor between Belfast and the County Down countryside.

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 Lisburn

My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally. In Lisburn, your GP can refer you to talking therapies and counselling through Health and Social Care. You can find support through Lifeline, Northern Ireland's crisis helpline, free on 0808 808 8000.

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 Lifeline free on 0808 808 8000. Lifeline is free on 0808 808 8000, and the Samaritans are on 116 123.

Lisburn questions

Online Relationship Counselling in Lisburn: common questions

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

Yes. I work with people right across Lisburn, from the city centre and the cathedral outwards, and anywhere else in Northern Ireland, 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.
