Addiction Counselling for Bath, without the journey
From the heart of Bath, near the Roman Baths, the Royal Crescent and the Abbey, out to its edges, from the Georgian centre and the river to Widcombe, Oldfield Park and Twerton, 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 Bath, 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 South West, including Bristol, Swindon, Plymouth.
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 Bath online addiction counselling is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Bath
Why people in Bath reach out
Behind Bath's honey-stone elegance and World Heritage streets sit a high cost of living and a large student population, and the pressure to match the city's polished image can make struggle feel out of place. Tourism and term times set a restless rhythm that can leave residents feeling oddly unsettled in such a beautiful place.
In a well-heeled town, the pressure to maintain a certain standard can make admitting to struggle feel awkward. Online counselling is entirely discreet, with no clinic to be seen entering.

Why online works in Bath
Why people in Bath choose online counselling
Around terms and deadlines
Sessions flex around the academic calendar and shift work, so support holds steady through the busiest weeks.
Less time lost from work
An online hour rarely costs you a half-day, which is what makes regular sessions realistic for busy lives in Bath.
Support that travels
If you move, travel for work or split your time between places, online counselling carries on uninterrupted wherever you happen to be.
No commute, no waiting room
From Bath, there's no journey across town and no waiting room. You join from wherever feels safe, and the rest of your day simply carries on around the session.
How online sessions work
Here's what actually happens once we begin. My approach is integrative and person-centred. Rather than white-knuckling your way through, we look at both the habit and the unmet needs beneath it, so recovery is sustainable. Where trauma is involved I draw on the Human Givens Rewind Technique, Internal Family Systems and solution-focused work.
All it takes at your end is a private spot where you can talk freely, a device with a camera, and a steady signal. We begin with a free fifteen-minute call, then I send a link you join at our agreed time each week.

Start the conversationFinding support in Bath
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Bath, 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, 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 NHS 111 and choose the mental health option. The Samaritans are free, day or night, on 116 123, or text SHOUT to 85258.
Bath questions
Online Addiction Counselling in Bath: common questions
Can I have online addiction counselling if I live in Bath?
Absolutely. Bath 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.

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.

For most people, yes. Online therapy can be just as effective as meeting face to face, and many find it easier to open up from home. Everything is held with the same strict confidentiality as in-person work.
Is online counselling private and confidential?
Yes. Sessions run on a secure, encrypted video link, and everything we discuss is held to the same strict BACP confidentiality as work done in person. All you need at your end is a private space.
