Addiction Counselling for Wrexham, without the journey
Across Wrexham, from the town centre and the church to Rhosddu, Caia Park and Gwersyllt, and from the streets around St Giles' church, the football ground and the Welsh borderland, online addiction counselling takes the logistics out of getting help: no commute, no waiting room, and the focus kept where it belongs, on you.
My room is in Hove, but the work reaches a great deal further. By secure video I support people throughout the UK, Wrexham included, with the same care and attention as an in-person session.
I also work online with people elsewhere in Wales, including Cardiff, Swansea, Newport.
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 Wrexham online addiction counselling is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Wrexham
Why people in Wrexham reach out
Wrexham, the largest town in north Wales and newly a city, grew on coal, steel and brewing and has felt their loss. Insecure work, money worries and the distance from larger centres in a border region all shape what people here carry, even as the town enjoys a new wave of attention.
In a settled, well-kept town where people tend to know one another, there can be a quiet pressure to look as though everything is fine. Online counselling keeps the whole thing private, with nobody to pass in a waiting room.

Why online works in Wrexham
Why people in Wrexham choose online counselling
Discreet in a close-knit place
In a town where people know one another, online sessions keep your support entirely private.
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 Wrexham 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 Wrexham.
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.
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 Wrexham
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Wrexham, you can access NHS psychological therapies through your GP or local primary mental health support service. You can find support through the CALL Mental Health Helpline for Wales, free and confidential on 0800 132 737.
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 press 2 for urgent mental health support. The CALL Helpline for Wales is free on 0800 132 737, and the Samaritans are on 116 123.
Wrexham questions
Online Addiction Counselling in Wrexham: common questions
Can I have online addiction counselling if I live in Wrexham?
Absolutely. Wrexham is well within reach, because we meet by secure video rather than in person. You'll get exactly the same specialist support as someone sitting in my Hove room.
What do I need to start online sessions in Wrexham?
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.
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 Wrexham 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.
