Online Trauma Counselling · Wolverhampton

In and around Wolverhampton
Life in Wolverhampton
Wolverhampton is a proud Black Country city shaped by its industrial past, and the decline of that heavy industry has left lasting marks. Insecure work, money pressure and health inequality weigh heavily here, and people tend to keep their heads down and get on rather than ask for help.
Where the old industries have gone and there is a strong culture of just getting on with things, online keeps support discreet and within reach however stretched the week.
Wolverhampton is home to the University of Wolverhampton and New Cross Hospital, run by the Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust, one of the city's largest employers.
The local picture
These figures are local context from official sources — not a description of you — but they show the scale of what people in and around Wolverhampton are living with, and why local support matters.
the rate of emergency hospital admissions for self-harm was 107.5 per 100,000 in 2023/24, below the England average of 117 per 100,000. Source: OHID Fingertips – Emergency Hospital Admissions for Intentional Self-Harm (2023/24).

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.
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.

My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally. In Wolverhampton, 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.

Wolverhampton questions
Yes. I work with people right across Wolverhampton, from the city centre and the ring road outwards, and anywhere else in Midlands, by secure video — no need to travel to Hove, and just as confidential as meeting in the room.
No. Methods like the Human Givens Rewind let us process a memory without you reliving it or even speaking the detail aloud.
Yes, when it is paced carefully. We go slowly, keep you grounded, and you stay in control of what we approach and when.
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.
A free fifteen-minute call is the simplest place to start — no obligation, just a chance to see if we are the right fit.
