Anxiety Counselling for Belfast, without the journey
From the heart of Belfast, near the City Hall, the Titanic Quarter and the shipyard cranes, out to its edges, from the city centre and the Cathedral Quarter to the Falls, the Shankill, east Belfast and the south of the city, online sessions make it possible to get the right support without rearranging your whole day around a single appointment.
Hove is where my room is, but the support is not tied to Sussex. Over a secure link I work with people in Belfast and far beyond, with the same depth and confidentiality as meeting face to face.
I also work online with people elsewhere in Northern Ireland, including Lisburn, Newtownabbey, Bangor.
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 Belfast online anxiety counselling is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Belfast
Why people in Belfast reach out
Belfast is a resilient, fast-changing capital still living with the legacy of the Troubles alongside the ordinary pressures of a modern city. Intergenerational trauma, community divisions and real deprivation in parts of the city all shape what people here carry, and privacy can matter all the more.
London's scale and speed can be exhilarating and exhausting at once, and time and privacy are always in short supply. An hour that comes to you, rather than one you have to cross the capital for, is often what makes therapy possible.

Why online works in Belfast
Why people in Belfast choose online counselling
Privacy in a crowded city
In a place as busy as Belfast, a confidential hour from your own space means no chance of being seen coming or going.
A wider choice of specialist
Working online means people in Belfast aren't limited to whoever practises locally. You can choose the counsellor who genuinely fits the issue you're facing, not just the nearest one.
Easier to keep to
A weekly session you can take from home is far simpler to protect than one that needs travel. That consistency is exactly where lasting change comes from.
The same confidentiality
Sessions run on a secure, encrypted video link, and everything is held to the same strict BACP confidentiality as work done in person.
How online sessions work
However we meet, the approach stays consistent. I take a solution-focused, practical approach that works on the problems actually affecting your day-to-day life. We cover simple, deliberate exercises that help calm your nervous system and respond differently when anxiety shows up.
You don't need any special software, just a private space, a device with a camera and a decent connection. We always start with a free fifteen-minute call, and from then on you simply click a secure link at the time we've set.

Start the conversationFinding support in Belfast
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Belfast, 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.
