Life in Margate
Why people in Margate reach out
Margate has become a byword for seaside revival, but the new galleries and weekenders sit beside real and persistent deprivation. Insecure, seasonal work, housing pressure and the isolation of life on the Isle of Thanet can leave residents struggling, and the gap between the bright postcard and daily reality can itself be hard to carry.
A seaside town can feel cut off once the season ends and the front goes quiet, so online support that does not depend on who happens to practise nearby matters here.
Margate, in the Thanet district, is home to the Turner Contemporary gallery and the restored Dreamland amusement park, and is served by the QEQM Hospital; parts of Thanet are among the more deprived areas in the South East.
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.

Margate questions
Online Relationship Counselling in Margate: common questions
Can I get online relationship counselling if I live in Margate?
Yes. I work with people right across Margate, from the Old Town and the seafront 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.
