Depression Counselling for Aberdeen, without the journey
From the heart of Aberdeen, near the granite architecture, the harbour and the North Sea, out to its edges, from the granite centre and the harbour to Old Aberdeen, Torry and Bridge of Don, online sessions make it possible to get the right support without rearranging your whole day around a single appointment.
My room is in Hove, but the work reaches a great deal further. By secure video I support people throughout the UK, Aberdeen included, with the same care and attention as an in-person session.
I also work online with people elsewhere in Scotland, including Dundee, Perth, Edinburgh.
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 Aberdeen online depression counselling is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Aberdeen
Why people in Aberdeen reach out
Aberdeen, the granite city on the north-east coast, has lived through the booms and busts of the oil and energy industry, and that volatility brings real insecurity. Long rotas offshore, the strain on families left behind and the remoteness of the far north-east all shape what people here carry.
Coastal towns can be wonderful places to live and isolating ones in equal measure, especially once the season turns and the days shorten. Working online means the help is there through the quiet months too, without a long journey inland to reach it.

Why online works in Aberdeen
Why people in Aberdeen choose online counselling
Around shift work
If your hours follow the rhythm of the port, online sessions bend around shifts rather than the other way round.
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.
The comfort of your own space
Many people find it easier to open up from their own sofa than in an unfamiliar room. From Aberdeen, that comfort is part of the work, not a compromise.
How online sessions work
Underneath the screen, the therapy itself works like this. Rather than analysing every thought endlessly, we focus on what is actually impacting your daily life right now. Our sessions are structured but flexible, using straightforward exercises to help you regain direction and rebuild emotional resilience.
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 Aberdeen
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Aberdeen, your GP can refer you to NHS psychological therapies, and you can find trusted self-help through NHS inform. You can find support through NHS inform; for confidential listening support, Breathing Space is free on 0800 83 85 87.
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 24 on 111 for urgent mental health support. Breathing Space is free on 0800 83 85 87, and the Samaritans are on 116 123.
