Trauma Counselling for Lisburn, without the journey
From the heart of Lisburn, near the cathedral, the Lagan and the linen heritage, out to its edges, from the city centre and the cathedral to Old Warren, Lagmore and nearby Hillsborough, online sessions make it possible to get the right support without rearranging your whole day around a single appointment.
I'm based in Hove on the Sussex coast and work with clients right across the UK by secure video. For Lisburn, that means a BACP-registered counsellor specialising in addiction, anxiety, depression, relationships and trauma, available from the privacy of your own space.
I also work online with people elsewhere in Northern Ireland, including Belfast, Craigavon, Derry.
If you would still prefer to meet in person and can travel to the Sussex coast, you are welcome to, but for most clients in Lisburn online trauma counselling is the natural and effective choice.
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.
Commuter life has a particular cost: the early train, the late return, and a working day that quietly swallows the daylight hours. An online session you can take from home, with no journey at either end, removes the very obstacle that stops many people starting.

Why online works in Lisburn
Why people in Lisburn choose online counselling
Discreet in a close-knit place
In a town where people know one another, online sessions keep your support entirely private.
Easier to keep to
A weekly session you can take from home is far simpler to protect than one that needs travel. That consistency is exactly where lasting change comes from.
The same confidentiality
Sessions run on a secure, encrypted video link, and everything is held to the same strict BACP confidentiality as work done in person.
The comfort of your own space
Many people find it easier to open up from their own sofa than in an unfamiliar room. From Lisburn, that comfort is part of the work, not a compromise.
How online sessions work
Underneath the screen, the therapy itself works like this. I am integratively trained and draw on approaches designed specifically for trauma, including the Human Givens Rewind Technique, a calm, non-intrusive method that returns a memory to ordinary recall. You do not have to relive the detail or even speak it aloud for this to work.
You don't need any special software, just a private space, a device with a camera and a decent connection. We always start with a free fifteen-minute call, and from then on you simply click a secure link at the time we've set.

Start the conversationFinding support in Lisburn
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. 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, stay with the same counsellor throughout, and work at greater depth and pace; the two can run side by side, and I'm glad to work alongside any NHS or GP support you already have.
If you need urgent help now
This practice is not a crisis service. If you or someone else 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 Trauma Counselling in Lisburn: common questions
Can I have online trauma counselling if I live in Lisburn?
Absolutely. Lisburn is well within reach, because we meet by secure video rather than in person. You'll get exactly the same specialist support as someone sitting in my Hove room.
How does online trauma counselling work from Lisburn?
We meet over a secure, private video link at a time that suits you. You'll need a quiet space, a device with a camera and a steady connection. We always begin with a free fifteen-minute call so you can ask questions and check the fit.
Does online therapy really work?
Online and in-person therapy are similarly effective for most people, and clients usually settle quickly once the screen fades into the background and the conversation takes over.
Can I use the NHS in Lisburn as well as seeing you?
Yes, and many people do both. You can access support from your local NHS talking therapies or counselling service alongside our work; private counselling simply means you can usually start sooner and stay with the same counsellor throughout. I'm happy to work alongside any NHS support you're receiving.
