Counselling for Drinking Problems for Coventry, without the journey
From the heart of Coventry, near the cathedral ruins, the transport museum and the two universities, out to its edges, from the city centre and the two cathedrals to Earlsdon, Foleshill and Tile Hill, online sessions make it possible to get the right support without rearranging your whole day around a single appointment.
I'm based in Hove on the Sussex coast and work with clients right across the UK by secure video. For Coventry, that means a BACP-registered counsellor specialising in addiction, anxiety, depression, relationships and trauma, available from the privacy of your own space.
I also work online with people elsewhere in Midlands, including Birmingham, Leicester, Solihull.
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 Coventry online counselling for drinking problems is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Coventry
Why people in Coventry reach out
Coventry rebuilt itself after the war and again around its universities and car industry, and that history of change runs through the city. A large student population, an economy that has weathered real shocks, and pockets of deep deprivation all shape the pressures people carry here.
Where the old industries have gone, the pressure of insecure work and tight finances tends to fall heaviest on the people least likely to ask for help. Working online keeps support discreet and within reach, however stretched the week.

Why online works in Coventry
Why people in Coventry choose online counselling
Private and unhurried
A confidential online hour asks nothing of appearances and meets you exactly where you are.
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 Coventry.
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.
No commute, no waiting room
From Coventry, there's no journey across town and no waiting room. You join from wherever feels safe, and the rest of your day simply carries on around the session.
How online sessions work
However we meet, the approach stays consistent. In our sessions we take an integrative approach, viewing your difficulties from an existential and humanistic perspective. Because you are the one who knows yourself best, my role is to walk alongside you as you build genuine alternatives to drinking.
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 Coventry
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Coventry, you can refer yourself directly to Coventry, Warwickshire and Solihull Talking Therapies for free NHS talking therapy, with no GP referral needed. You can also find your nearest service through the NHS Talking Therapies finder.
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 choose the mental health option. The Samaritans are free, day or night, on 116 123, or text SHOUT to 85258.
