Addiction Counselling in Kemp Town

In a private room at Intergen House on Western Road in central Hove. From Kemp Town the room is about fifteen to twenty minutes away, heading west along the seafront through Brighton into Hove by bus, taxi or car. Every service is also available by secure video across the UK, so you can meet from any private space in Kemp Town or blend the two.

It does not. Slots can be arranged around a rota rather than fixed permanently, and a mix of in-person and video appointments usually solves the rest. What matters is regularity over a month, not the same hour every Tuesday without fail.

Yes, and it often causes more damage before anyone notices, since there is nothing to see or smell. Sessions look at what the betting does for you, the debt and secrecy that build around it, and how to bring the whole thing back into view.

Nothing is reported to an employer or a regulator, and no letter goes to your GP without your agreement. Private counselling records are brief and held securely. The narrow confidentiality limits, all concerning serious risk to life, are explained at the outset.

The NHS 'find a service' directory is the way into local structured drug and alcohol treatment, which includes medical care that counselling cannot provide. It costs nothing and needs no referral from me. Many people use it and private sessions together.

There is a free 15-minute consultation to begin with, by phone or video. Sessions then cost £80 / 60 min, £100 / 90 min or £120 / 120 min, paid as you go. Nothing is booked in advance beyond the appointment you have arranged.

About fifteen to twenty minutes heading west along the seafront through Brighton into Hove by bus, taxi or car. If that journey feels like too much, secure video sessions work just as well from home.

Allow fifteen to twenty minutes: the 7 bus runs along St James's Street towards the centre, where you change or take a taxi on to Western Road, and driving follows the seafront the same way. Book a free fifteen-minute consultation first on 07914 681995 or online.

Fees are £80 for sixty minutes, £100 for ninety and £120 for two hours, with a free first call. Kemp Town sits within Brighton and Hove, so you can also self-refer to Pavilions, the free Change Grow Live drug and alcohol service, with no GP referral.

Both work. Kemp Town is a close, familiar community, so some clients prefer the discretion of secure video from home, while others value the trip across town to the Hove room. Evening slots are available, and you can switch between the two as suits you.
