Online Addiction Counselling in Dover

A free 15-minute conversation, arranged by message or phone at a time that suits you. You say as much or as little as you want and Bradley says whether he can help. Nothing gets recorded as a case and nothing obliges you to book. Sessions usually start within a fortnight.

The fee is £80 an hour, £100 for 90 minutes and £120 for two, paid one session at a time so nothing is owed in advance. When money is short, some people space sessions out rather than stopping. The 15-minute consultation costs nothing and is the place to raise it.

It is the county's free statutory service and it handles the medical side: prescribing, structured treatment, testing and harm reduction. Change Grow Live runs the Kent Recovery Houses within it. Counselling does none of that and works instead on why the habit took hold. Both at once is normal.

Yes, and that is part of why video works here. No building has opening times, so early and late appointments are possible and a slot can shift when the work does. All that is needed is an hour where you can talk without being interrupted or overheard.

It is. Many people in Dover are used to coping quietly through insecure, port-linked work. There is nothing to make a fuss about: online sessions are private and straightforward, held from home, and we go entirely at your pace, with no pressure and no one else needing to know.

Usually within a week. After a free 15-minute consultation we agree a regular time, arranged around ferry and haulage shifts. Dover sits at the far corner of Kent, where travelling for appointments means a long haul up the line, so online matters: you join securely from home in Buckland, River or Tower Hamlets.

Privately, £80 for 60 minutes, £100 for 90 and £120 for 120, after a free 15-minute consultation. As one of the harder-pressed parts of the south east, it is worth knowing your GP can refer you and Kent's council-funded drug and alcohol service accepts self-referrals for free.

Yes. The docks and cross-Channel traffic bring shift patterns that ignore the clock, and online meets them: you join from home whenever the rota allows, with nothing to travel to. The room is in Hove, further west along the same coast, if you would ever prefer to meet in person.
