Addiction Counselling for King's Lynn, without the journey
Known for the Custom House, the medieval quays and the Wash, King's Lynn is a place of real character, with clients coming to me from from the historic quays and the centre to Gaywood, North Lynn and South Lynn. Wherever you are across it, online counselling means experienced support without the travel, fitted around work, family and everything else.
From my base in Hove, I see clients all over the country by video. For someone in King's Lynn, 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 East of England, including Norwich, Peterborough, Cambridge.
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 King's Lynn online addiction counselling is the natural and effective choice.
Life in King's Lynn
Why people in King's Lynn reach out
King's Lynn is a historic port on the Wash set in remote west Norfolk, a long way from other towns and shaped by farming and seasonal work. Low rural wages, isolation and the distance from specialist help all shape the pressures people here carry.
Coastal towns can be wonderful places to live and isolating ones in equal measure, especially once the season turns and the days shorten. Working online means the help is there through the quiet months too, without a long journey inland to reach it.

Why online works in King's Lynn
Why people in King's Lynn choose online counselling
Around shift work
If your hours follow the rhythm of the port, online sessions bend around shifts rather than the other way round.
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 King's Lynn.
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 King's Lynn, 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
Once the practical side is sorted, this is what the work looks like. 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.
All it takes at your end is a private spot where you can talk freely, a device with a camera, and a steady signal. We begin with a free fifteen-minute call, then I send a link you join at our agreed time each week.

Start the conversationFinding support in King's Lynn
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In King's Lynn, you can refer yourself directly to Norfolk and Waveney Talking Therapies for free NHS talking therapy, with no GP referral needed. You can also find your nearest service 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.
