Counselling for Drinking Problems for Cwmbran, without the journey
Known for the shopping centre, the canal and the Torfaen hills, Cwmbran is a place of real character, with clients coming to me from from the town centre to Croesyceiliog, Fairwater and Pontnewydd. Wherever you are across it, online counselling means experienced support without the travel, fitted around work, family and everything else.
Hove is where my room is, but the support is not tied to Sussex. Over a secure link I work with people in Cwmbran and far beyond, with the same depth and confidentiality as meeting face to face.
I also work online with people elsewhere in Wales, including Newport, Pontypridd, Cardiff.
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 Cwmbran online counselling for drinking problems is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Cwmbran
Why people in Cwmbran reach out
Cwmbran is a post-war new town in the south-east Wales valleys, built around a planned centre near Newport. Its new-town origins, a spread-out layout and an economy tied to a few employers can leave people feeling stretched and short of close networks.
When so much of the week is spent travelling to and from work, finding time for yourself can feel impossible. Online counselling gives that hour back, without adding another trip to the day.
What I help with

The cause, not the habit
Looking beneath the drinking to what drives it.

Working with what the alcohol has been managing.
Privacy at home
Sensitive support without anyone needing to know.
Signposting
Links to medical, detox and peer support where useful.
Without the anaesthetic

Why online works in Cwmbran
Why people in Cwmbran choose online counselling
Private in a close-knit place
In tight valley communities where people know one another, online keeps your support entirely confidential.
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 Cwmbran.
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 Cwmbran, 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
Underneath the screen, the therapy itself works like this. 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.
Sessions run over a secure video link. All you need is a private space where you won't be interrupted, a laptop, tablet or phone, and a reasonable connection. We begin with a free fifteen-minute call, then I send a simple link you click at the agreed time.

Start the conversationFinding support in Cwmbran
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Cwmbran, you can access NHS psychological therapies through your GP or local primary mental health support service. You can find support through the CALL Mental Health Helpline for Wales, free and confidential on 0800 132 737.
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 press 2 for urgent mental health support. The CALL Helpline for Wales is free on 0800 132 737, and the Samaritans are on 116 123.
Cwmbran questions
Online Counselling for Drinking Problems in Cwmbran: common questions
Do you offer online counselling for drinking problems for people in Cwmbran?
Yes. I work with clients in Cwmbran and right across the UK by secure video. You don't need to live near Brighton or Hove; online counselling for drinking problems brings the same care to wherever you are.
How does online counselling for drinking problems work from Cwmbran?
We meet over a secure, private video link at a time that suits you. You'll need a quiet space, a device with a camera and a steady connection. We always begin with a free fifteen-minute call so you can ask questions and check the fit.
Does online therapy really work?
Online and in-person therapy are similarly effective for most people, and clients usually settle quickly once the screen fades into the background and the conversation takes over.

Yes, and many people do both.
