Addiction Counselling for Truro, without the journey
Across Truro, from the cathedral and the centre to Highertown, Malabar and Gloweth, and from the streets around the cathedral, the river and the Cornish coast beyond, online addiction counselling takes the logistics out of getting help: no commute, no waiting room, and the focus kept where it belongs, on you.
Hove is where my room is, but the support is not tied to Sussex. Over a secure link I work with people in Truro and far beyond, with the same depth and confidentiality as meeting face to face.
I also work online with people elsewhere in South West, including Exeter, Plymouth, Bristol.
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 Truro online addiction counselling is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Truro
Why people in Truro reach out
Truro is Cornwall's only city and its administrative heart, set in a beautiful but remote county where wages are low and specialist help can be a long drive away. Seasonal work, second homes pricing out locals, and the isolation of the far South West all weigh on wellbeing.
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 Truro
Why people in Truro 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 Truro 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 Truro.
How online sessions work
The method itself is the same online as it is in the room. 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 Truro
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Truro, 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.
