Life in Dundee
Why people in Dundee reach out
Dundee has reinvented itself around design, games and its universities, but the city on the Tay also carries some of the sharpest deprivation in Scotland. Insecure work, money pressure and the contrast between the gleaming waterfront and hard-pressed neighbourhoods all shape the pressures people here carry.
Dundee has spent the last decade remaking itself. The waterfront that once shipped jute around the world now holds the V&A design museum, and the city trades on games, science and the two universities that fill its centre with students. The old nicknames, jute, jam and journalism, still linger, and DC Thomson's presses keep the comics and papers coming. Yet the city on the Tay carries some of the sharpest hardship in Scotland, and the gleaming new buildings by the river sit close to neighbourhoods like the Hilltown and Lochee where life is a great deal tougher. Broughty Ferry offers a gentler seaside edge to the east. It is a proud, creative, resilient place that also holds a lot of quiet struggle.
On the coast the nearest specialist can be a long way inland; a secure video link closes that distance completely.
Dundee is home to the University of Dundee, the major teaching hospital Ninewells, and V&A Dundee, the city's design museum on the waterfront.

Wherever you are in Dundee, the work is the same, a calm, confidential space shaped around you.
The anxiety counselling itself
Anxiety counselling here is practical and solution-focused: we work on the worry, panic, social anxiety and over-thinking that are actually affecting your day, and on simple ways to settle a nervous system stuck on high alert.
The approach is the same wherever you live, so rather than repeat it on every page you can read it in full, the methods, what each session covers and fees, on the main anxiety counselling page and on how I work.
How online sessions work
Sessions run over a secure, encrypted video link held to the same strict BACP confidentiality as meeting in person. After a free fifteen-minute call to check we are a good fit, you join each session from any private space using a phone, tablet or laptop, no software to install, no waiting room and no journey at either end.
Dundee has counselling services and the universities offer support to students, but NHS Tayside talking therapy can involve a wait, and not everyone wants to be seen going into a local service. Secure video sessions sidestep both, reaching anywhere in the city with a quiet corner and a connection. I work from Hove on the south coast of England, seeing people across Scotland and the wider UK online.

Anxiety Counselling in Dundee
Why people in Dundee come for anxiety counselling
Dundee has remade itself around design, games and its two universities, and for students and young workers there is a real pressure to keep pace with a fast-changing city. Deadlines, money worries and the push to prove yourself can leave the mind constantly whirring. In neighbourhoods where life is tougher, that strain runs deeper still. Working together online, I offer a calm, confidential hour to slow the racing thoughts and understand what is feeding them. Sessions reach any quiet corner of the city by secure video, from a flat in the West End to student halls, with nothing to cross the city for.

Dundee questions
Online Anxiety Counselling in Dundee: common questions
Can I get online anxiety counselling if I live in Dundee?
Yes. I work with people right across Dundee, from the waterfront and the centre outwards, and anywhere else in Scotland, by secure video, no need to travel to Hove, and just as confidential as meeting in the room.
Can online counselling really help with panic attacks?
Yes. We work on what happens in your body when anxiety spikes and rehearse practical ways to settle it, which translates well to video sessions you do from a place you already feel safe.
What if my anxiety makes video calls themselves difficult?
That is common and completely workable. We can start with the camera off, keep early sessions short and build up at your pace; many anxious clients find home the easiest place to begin.
How long does anxiety counselling usually take?
It varies, but solution-focused work often makes a difference within a handful of sessions. We review together rather than committing you to an open-ended course.
I am a student in Dundee and constantly anxious, can you help alongside uni support?
Yes. Many students like keeping counselling separate from campus, and private video sessions make that easy from your flat or halls. We would work on what is driving the anxiety and practical ways to steady it, at times that fit around lectures and deadlines, wherever you are living in the city.
How soon can anxiety counselling start online in Dundee?
Usually within a week. After a free 15-minute consultation we arrange a first video session, so there is no local wait to join. You begin from a flat in the West End, Broughty Ferry or student halls, with nothing to travel to across the city.
What do anxiety sessions cost compared to NHS Tayside?
NHS Tayside talking therapy is free but can involve a wait, and university support has its limits. My fees are £80 for 60 minutes, £100 for 90 and £120 for 120, with a free 15-minute consultation first and no queue before you start.
I'm a student in Dundee, can I have evening anxiety sessions online?
Yes. Alongside your university's support, private evening sessions by secure video keep counselling separate from campus. You join from your flat or halls in Stobswell or the West End, at a time around lectures, with no journey and the same private hour.
I'm a student in Dundee, can I still see you?
Yes. Alongside the support your university offers, you can arrange private sessions by secure video from your flat or halls. Many students prefer keeping counselling separate from campus, and video makes that straightforward wherever you're living in the city.
Are you based in Dundee?
No, I'm based in Hove in southern England and work with clients throughout Scotland and the UK by video. For Dundee that means online sessions rather than a room in the city, private, flexible, and with no journey across town to manage.
