Addiction Counselling for Craigavon, without the journey
From the heart of Craigavon, near the lakes, the linen heritage and the Lough Neagh shore, out to its edges, from Lurgan and Portadown to Brownlow and the linked centre, online sessions make it possible to get the right support without rearranging your whole day around a single appointment.
From my base in Hove, I see clients all over the country by video. For someone in Craigavon, that opens up an experienced, BACP-registered specialist without the need to find one on your own doorstep.
I also work online with people elsewhere in Northern Ireland, including Lisburn, Newry, Belfast.
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 Craigavon online addiction counselling is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Craigavon
Why people in Craigavon reach out
Craigavon is a planned new town stitching together Lurgan and Portadown in County Armagh, and its dispersed, planned layout can make it harder to feel rooted. Insecure work, the legacy of division and the spread-out geography all shape what people here carry.
Newer and fast-growing towns are full of people who arrived from somewhere else, often without the family and old friends who used to be close by. Online counselling offers a steady, confidential connection while you build a life here.

Why online works in Craigavon
Why people in Craigavon choose online counselling
Steady support through change
If you've recently moved to Craigavon for work or housing, online keeps your support consistent while you put down roots.
No commute, no waiting room
From Craigavon, 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.
A wider choice of specialist
Working online means people in Craigavon aren't limited to whoever practises locally. You can choose the counsellor who genuinely fits the issue you're facing, not just the nearest one.
Easier to keep to
A weekly session you can take from home is far simpler to protect than one that needs travel. That consistency is exactly where lasting change comes from.
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.
Practically, it couldn't be simpler: a quiet room, a device with a camera, and a steady internet connection. After a free fifteen-minute call to check the fit, you'll get a private link to join at our agreed time.

Start the conversationFinding support in Craigavon
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Craigavon, your GP can refer you to talking therapies and counselling through Health and Social Care. You can find support through Lifeline, Northern Ireland's crisis helpline, free on 0808 808 8000.
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 Lifeline free on 0808 808 8000. Lifeline is free on 0808 808 8000, and the Samaritans are on 116 123.
Craigavon questions
Online Addiction Counselling in Craigavon: common questions
Do you offer online addiction counselling for people in Craigavon?
Yes. I work with clients in Craigavon and right across the UK by secure video. You don't need to live near Brighton or Hove; online addiction counselling brings the same care to wherever you are.
What do I need to start online sessions in Craigavon?
Very little: a private space where you won't be interrupted, a laptop, tablet or phone, and a reasonable internet connection. After a free fifteen-minute call, I send a secure link you click at our agreed time.
Is online addiction counselling as effective as meeting in person?
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.
Can I use the NHS in Craigavon as well as seeing you?
Yes, and many people do both. You can access support from your local NHS talking therapies or counselling service alongside our work; private counselling simply means you can usually start sooner and stay with the same counsellor throughout. I'm happy to work alongside any NHS support you're receiving.
