Online Addiction Counselling in Craigavon

With a free 15-minute consultation, which is deliberately short and deliberately low-stakes. You say what you are able to say, ask whatever you want, and decide afterwards. Most people who go ahead start weekly sessions inside a fortnight. No referral, no assessment and no list to sit on.

An hour is £80. Ninety minutes costs £100 and two hours costs £120, both useful when travelling nowhere means you can afford a longer sitting. Your opening 15-minute conversation costs nothing. You pay session by session, so there is nothing to buy in advance and nothing tying you in.

Often yes. ASCERT provides drug and alcohol support across Northern Ireland and takes people directly, while your GP is the route into Health and Social Care for anything medical. The NHS find a service directory lists what operates nearby. Counselling then covers what those services rarely have time for.

Not for this. Nothing needs to be driven to, so the appointment costs you an hour rather than an afternoon of arrangements. That tends to matter most for the people who would otherwise never manage it: shift workers, carers, and anyone without reliable transport of their own.

The label matters less than the pattern, and the pattern is identical. Something reliably lifts you, the cost grows, and the concealment grows faster than the cost. Gambling and gaming apps are designed around that loop, and being designed well is precisely why willpower is such a poor tool against them.

You would not need to travel at all. Sessions are online by secure video, so you can take part from home in Lurgan, Portadown or Brownlow. The counsellor works across Northern Ireland from a Hove base, so the dispersed layout makes no difference.

Usually within a week or two, and the spread-out layout is no barrier. We begin with a free 15-minute consultation, then book a first full session. Because it is all online by secure video, you can start from home in Lurgan, Portadown or Brownlow with no waiting list.

NHS addiction support here runs through the Southern Health and Social Care Trust and is free, though waits can be long. My fees are £80 for 60 minutes, £100 for 90 and £120 for 120, after a free 15-minute consultation, with no delay before you start.

Yes. Evening slots mean no crossing the town's wide roads and roundabouts after work. Sessions are held by secure video from home, from Lurgan to Portadown, so you need only a private room and a steady connection rather than a journey across Craigavon.
