Online Depression Counselling in Hull

Yes, and working online is the reason it can. Nothing needs organising beyond a quiet corner and a link at the agreed time. Plenty of first sessions happen with the curtains shut and the person still in yesterday's clothes. Starting badly is a perfectly normal way to start.

The opening 15-minute consultation is free of charge and carries no obligation whatever. Sessions after that are £80 / 60 min, with £100 / 90 min and £120 / 120 min available when you want longer. The fee is the same whether we meet weekly or you space appointments out.

Yes. NHS Hull Talking Therapies (Let's Talk Hull) takes self-referrals for depression, and nothing stops you being on their list while we work. Many people do both, beginning privately and then deciding what they want once an NHS assessment finally comes round.

It can be both, and the distinction matters less than what helps. We look first at light, sleep, movement and contact, since a coastal winter genuinely flattens all four, and then at whatever else has been building underneath. If a medical opinion looks useful, a GP is the place for that.

With one small thing, chosen by you and deliberately too easy. A short walk down towards the Old Town, or a phone call you have been putting off. We rebuild the week in pieces instead of waiting to feel like it, then review what actually happened rather than what should have.

Yes. Everything's online, so we find a time that works around rotas rather than office hours. If a shift changes, moving a video session is simple, so a regular weekly slot is easy to keep even with an unpredictable pattern.

Often within a week of a free 15-minute call. When you're low, meeting by secure video from home in the Avenues or Hessle Road removes any journey. I work from Hove across Hull, so there's no waiting list and we'd keep one regular weekly time.

NHS talking therapies in Hull are free and worth using; the trade-off is often a wait and less flexibility. I charge £80 for 60 minutes, £100 for 90 and £120 for two hours, after a free consultation, and can usually start sooner with a consistent slot.

Online works well for many. On low days, avoiding a trip across the city makes attending far more manageable. I'm in Hove, not Hull, and can offer evening times, so a session fits shift life without adding to an already heavy day.
