Addiction Counselling for Cwmbran, without the journey
Known for the shopping centre, the canal and the Torfaen hills, Cwmbran is a place of real character, with clients coming to me from from the town centre to Croesyceiliog, Fairwater and Pontnewydd. Wherever you are across it, online counselling means experienced support without the travel, fitted around work, family and everything else.
Hove is where my room is, but the support is not tied to Sussex. Over a secure link I work with people in Cwmbran and far beyond, with the same depth and confidentiality as meeting face to face.
I also work online with people elsewhere in Wales, including Newport, Pontypridd, Cardiff.
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 Cwmbran online addiction counselling is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Cwmbran
Why people in Cwmbran reach out
Cwmbran is a post-war new town in the south-east Wales valleys, built around a planned centre near Newport. Its new-town origins, a spread-out layout and an economy tied to a few employers can leave people feeling stretched and short of close networks.
When so much of the week is spent travelling to and from work, finding time for yourself can feel impossible. Online counselling gives that hour back, without adding another trip to the day.

Why online works in Cwmbran
Why people in Cwmbran choose online counselling
Built around your commute
If your week in Cwmbran runs on the early train and the late return, online sessions slot into the day without adding another journey to it.
No commute, no waiting room
From Cwmbran, 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 Cwmbran 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.
Sessions run over a secure video link. All you need is a private space where you won't be interrupted, a laptop, tablet or phone, and a reasonable connection. We begin with a free fifteen-minute call, then I send a simple link you click at the agreed time.

Start the conversationFinding support in Cwmbran
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Cwmbran, you can access NHS psychological therapies through your GP or local primary mental health support service. You can find support through the CALL Mental Health Helpline for Wales, free and confidential on 0800 132 737.
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 press 2 for urgent mental health support. The CALL Helpline for Wales is free on 0800 132 737, and the Samaritans are on 116 123.
