Life in Wakefield
Why people in Wakefield reach out
Wakefield is a cathedral city at the heart of the former West Yorkshire coalfield, and the closure of the pits left deep and lasting marks on the towns around it. Insecure work, money worries and a strong but stoic culture all shape what people here carry, often quietly.
Beneath a calm, historic surface, struggle can be hard to voice; a confidential online hour asks nothing of appearances.
Wakefield's main hospital, Pinderfields, is run by the Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust; the city sits at the heart of the former West Yorkshire coalfield and is home to The Hepworth Wakefield art gallery.
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 Wakefield
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally. In Wakefield, 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.

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.
Wakefield questions
Online Relationship Counselling in Wakefield: common questions
Can I get online relationship counselling if I live in Wakefield?
Yes. I work with people right across Wakefield, from the cathedral 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.
