Counselling for Drinking Problems for High Wycombe, without the journey

From the heart of High Wycombe, near the Rye, the Chiltern hills and the old furniture quarter, out to its edges, from the town centre and the Rye to Hazlemere, Sands and Downley, 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 High Wycombe, 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 London & South East, including Aylesbury, Oxford, Watford.

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 High Wycombe online counselling for drinking problems is the natural and effective choice.

Life in High Wycombe

Why people in High Wycombe reach out

Set in a steep Chiltern valley, High Wycombe is a busy, diverse town within commuting reach of London. The familiar mix of demanding work, long travel and the cost of keeping a family afloat can grind people down, and in a place that keeps its head down and gets on with things, difficulties are often left unspoken.

Smaller towns can be close-knit in ways that are both comforting and exposing. Working online means you can seek support discreetly, without being seen coming and going.

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.

Finding support in High Wycombe

My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In High Wycombe, you can refer yourself directly to NHS Buckinghamshire 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.
