Addiction Counselling for Tamworth, without the journey
From the heart of Tamworth, near the castle, the river Anker and the Snowdome, out to its edges, from the castle and the town centre to Glascote, Amington and Belgrave, online sessions make it possible to get the right support without rearranging your whole day around a single appointment.
Although my practice sits on the Sussex coast in Hove, distance is no obstacle. People in Tamworth work with me online and receive exactly the same specialist, confidential support as anyone who walks through the door.
I also work online with people elsewhere in Midlands, including Birmingham, Walsall, Derby.
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 Tamworth online addiction counselling is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Tamworth
Why people in Tamworth reach out
Tamworth is an old market town that has grown with commuters working towards Birmingham and beyond, and the daily reach out of town leaves little of the day for yourself. Building a settled life while the working week swallows the hours can leave people stretched and disconnected.
When so much of the week is spent travelling to and from work, finding time for yourself can feel impossible. Online counselling gives that hour back, without adding another trip to the day.

Why online works in Tamworth
Why people in Tamworth choose online counselling
Discreet in a close-knit place
In a town where people know one another, online sessions keep your support entirely private.
Human, even on a screen
The technology fades within minutes. What remains is a real, attentive conversation, the same one we'd have sitting in the room together.
Gentle when leaving home is hard
If anxiety, low mood or avoidance make leaving the house feel like too much right now, starting online from Tamworth can be the gentlest possible way in.
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 Tamworth.
How online sessions work
However we meet, the approach stays consistent. 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 Tamworth
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Tamworth, 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.
Tamworth questions
Online Addiction Counselling in Tamworth: common questions
Do you offer online addiction counselling for people in Tamworth?
Yes. I work with clients in Tamworth 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.
How does online addiction counselling work from Tamworth?
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.
Is online addiction counselling as effective as meeting in person?
For most people, yes. Online therapy can be just as effective as meeting face to face, and many find it easier to open up from home. Everything is held with the same strict confidentiality as in-person work.
Can I use the NHS in Tamworth 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.
