Life in Norwich
Why people in Norwich reach out
Norwich is a fine medieval city somewhat set apart at the heart of rural Norfolk, a long way by road from other centres. A large student population, low rural wages across the wider county and that sense of isolation all shape the pressures people here carry.
Beneath a calm, historic surface, struggle can be hard to voice; a confidential online hour asks nothing of appearances.
Norwich is home to the University of East Anglia and the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital; NHS mental health services across the area are provided by Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust.
The local picture
The local picture in Norwich
These figures are local context from official sources — not a description of you — but they show the scale of what people in and around Norwich are living with, and why local support matters.
the rate of emergency hospital admissions for self-harm was 129.9 per 100,000 in 2023/24, above the England average of 117 per 100,000. Source: OHID Fingertips – Emergency Hospital Admissions for Intentional Self-Harm (2023/24).
Local data last reviewed June 2026. Each figure shows the year and links to the official source it was read on.
The trauma counselling itself
Trauma counselling here is gentle and led by you, drawing on methods designed for trauma including the Human Givens Rewind Technique, so a difficult memory is returned to ordinary recall.
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 trauma 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.

Norwich questions
Online Trauma Counselling in Norwich: common questions
Can I get online trauma counselling if I live in Norwich?
Yes. I work with people right across Norwich, from the cathedral and the centre outwards, and anywhere else in East of England, by secure video — no need to travel to Hove, and just as confidential as meeting in the room.
Do I have to describe what happened in detail?
No. Methods like the Human Givens Rewind let us process a memory without you reliving it or even speaking the detail aloud.
Is it safe to do trauma work online?
Yes, when it is paced carefully. We go slowly, keep you grounded, and you stay in control of what we approach and when.
What if I get overwhelmed during a session?
We build in ways to settle and pause, and never move faster than feels safe. Being in your own space online can make that easier.
