Online Addiction Counselling in Solihull

You book a free 15-minute call, and we talk about what is going on and whether this looks like a sensible fit. If it is, a weekly slot generally opens up within a week or two. Nothing has to go through a GP first, and private counselling does not appear on your medical record.

Blocks are not sold. An hour is £80, 90 minutes is £100 and two hours is £120, and you pay as you go rather than in advance. Before any of it there is a 15-minute consultation that costs nothing. That way, stopping stays your decision each week instead of being something you already committed money to.

You contact the council route directly and it points you towards SIAS, the borough's integrated addiction service, for assessment and structured treatment. Doing that stops nothing here. Where prescribing or medical supervision is involved, it needs to sit with them rather than with a counsellor.

It generally can. Most people find the hour somewhere: after the school run, inside a working-from-home morning, or in a parked car with headphones in. The link is secure and nothing is recorded. Where the house really is never quiet, finding the hour somewhere else becomes part of the first conversation.

With the ordinary detail. What time the app gets opened, what the day looked like beforehand, what the ten minutes after a loss feel like from the inside. Money is usually the last thing we get to rather than the first. Concealing it this well takes real effort, and that effort is exhausting.

Not at all. In a comfortable town like Solihull it can feel that way, but struggling is common whatever the postcode. Because sessions are online and confidential, you can talk things through privately from home, with no waiting room and no one locally any the wiser.

Quite soon. Solihull is served online from the Hove consulting room, so there is no local waiting list. We begin with a free 15-minute consultation, then arrange a first full session, often within the same week, at a time that fits around a demanding job.

Sessions are £80 for 60 minutes, £100 for 90 and £120 for two hours, after a free 15-minute consultation. NHS addiction support locally is free through your GP or community teams but can mean waiting, while private counselling starts sooner and around a busy diary.

The room is in Hove, so Solihull is served online rather than face to face, sparing the commute from Shirley or Knowle into Birmingham. Because it is by video, evening sessions can often be arranged, which helps behind well-kept doors where struggling can feel awkward to admit.
