Addiction Counselling for Newry, without the journey
Across Newry, from the city centre and the canal to Bessbrook, Meadow and the Fathom, and from the streets around the cathedral, the Newry canal and the Mourne mountains nearby, online addiction counselling takes the logistics out of getting help: no commute, no waiting room, and the focus kept where it belongs, on you.
From my base in Hove, I see clients all over the country by video. For someone in Newry, 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 Craigavon, Lisburn, 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 Newry online addiction counselling is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Newry
Why people in Newry reach out
Newry is a city on the border with the Republic, long shaped by its frontier position and the cross-border economy. The legacy of the Troubles, the uncertainty that comes with life on the border and rural isolation nearby all shape the pressures people here carry.
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 Newry
Why people in Newry 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 Newry.
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 Newry, 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
Underneath the screen, the therapy itself works like this. 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 Newry
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Newry, 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.
Newry questions
Online Addiction Counselling in Newry: common questions
Do you offer online addiction counselling for people in Newry?
Yes. I work with clients in Newry 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 Newry?
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.
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.
Can I use the NHS in Newry 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.
