Addiction Counselling for Kettering, without the journey
From the heart of Kettering, near the parish church spire, the Alfred East gallery and the surrounding countryside, out to its edges, from the town centre and the parish church to Barton Seagrave, Mawsley and Burton Latimer, 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 Kettering, 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 Midlands, including Northampton, Peterborough, Birmingham.
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 Kettering online addiction counselling is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Kettering
Why people in Kettering reach out
Kettering is a Northamptonshire market and former boot-and-shoe town that has grown with new housing and commuters. The mix of an older industrial identity and a fast-changing population can leave people feeling unsettled, and good local support is not always close by.
Smaller towns can be close-knit in ways that are both comforting and exposing. Working online means you can seek support discreetly, without being seen coming and going.

Why online works in Kettering
Why people in Kettering choose online counselling
Discreet in a close-knit place
In a town where people know one another, online sessions keep your support entirely private.
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 Kettering.
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 Kettering, 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.
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 Kettering
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Kettering, 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.
Kettering questions
Online Addiction Counselling in Kettering: common questions
Can I have online addiction counselling if I live in Kettering?
Absolutely. Kettering 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.
How does online addiction counselling work from Kettering?
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.
Does online therapy really work?
Online and in-person therapy are similarly effective for most people, and clients usually settle quickly once the screen fades into the background and the conversation takes over.
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.
