Counselling for Drinking Problems for Glasgow, without the journey
From the heart of Glasgow, near the Clyde, the galleries and the music scene, out to its edges, from the city centre and the West End to the Southside, Dennistoun and Govan, online sessions make it possible to get the right support without rearranging your whole day around a single appointment.
From my base in Hove, I see clients all over the country by video. For someone in Glasgow, that opens up an experienced, BACP-registered specialist without the need to find one on your own doorstep.
I also work online with people elsewhere in Scotland, including Paisley, East Kilbride, Falkirk.
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 Glasgow online counselling for drinking problems is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Glasgow
Why people in Glasgow reach out
Glasgow is Scotland's largest city, famous for its warmth, art and humour, and shaped by the long aftermath of heavy industry's decline. Real and persistent deprivation, insecure work and deep health inequalities sit beneath the city's energy, and the culture of coping can make reaching out hard.
Student and academic life can be intense and surprisingly lonely, even surrounded by people your own age. Working online keeps support steady through term and vacation alike, wherever you are.

Why online works in Glasgow
Why people in Glasgow choose online counselling
Privacy in a crowded city
In a place as busy as Glasgow, a confidential hour from your own space means no chance of being seen coming or going.
The comfort of your own space
Many people find it easier to open up from their own sofa than in an unfamiliar room. From Glasgow, that comfort is part of the work, not a compromise.
Begin sooner
Rather than waiting for a local appointment to come free, an online slot often means you can start the work much sooner.
Human, even on a screen
The technology fades within minutes. What remains is a real, attentive conversation, the same one we'd have sitting in the room together.
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.
All it takes at your end is a private spot where you can talk freely, a device with a camera, and a steady signal. We begin with a free fifteen-minute call, then I send a link you join at our agreed time each week.

Start the conversationFinding support in Glasgow
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Glasgow, 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.
Glasgow questions
Online Counselling for Drinking Problems in Glasgow: common questions
Do you offer online counselling for drinking problems for people in Glasgow?
Yes. I work with clients in Glasgow 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 Glasgow?
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.
Can I use the NHS in Glasgow as well as seeing you?
Yes, and many people do both. You can access support from your local NHS talking therapies or counselling service alongside our work; private counselling simply means you can usually start sooner and stay with the same counsellor throughout. I'm happy to work alongside any NHS support you're receiving.
