Counselling for Drinking Problems for Hull, without the journey
Across Hull, from the Old Town and the marina to Newland Avenue, Bransholme and Hessle Road, and from the streets around the marina, the Deep and the Humber Bridge, online counselling for drinking problems takes the logistics out of getting help: no commute, no waiting room, and the focus kept where it belongs, on you.
Although my practice sits on the Sussex coast in Hove, distance is no obstacle. People in Hull work with me online and receive exactly the same specialist, confidential support as anyone who walks through the door.
I also work online with people elsewhere in Yorkshire & North East, including York, Leeds, Sheffield.
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 Hull online counselling for drinking problems is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Hull
Why people in Hull reach out
Hull is a proud port city on the Humber with a strong fishing heritage and a renewed cultural energy, but it has also weathered real hardship and isolation at the end of the line. Insecure work, money pressure and the distance from other cities shape much of what people here carry.
Life by the sea has a slower, gentler rhythm, but it can also leave you feeling a long way from things, including good specialist support. A secure video link closes that distance completely.

Why online works in Hull
Why people in Hull choose online counselling
No long trip inland
Living on the coast often means the nearest specialist is a long way off. Online sessions close that distance entirely.
A wider choice of specialist
Working online means people in Hull aren't limited to whoever practises locally. You can choose the counsellor who genuinely fits the issue you're facing, not just the nearest one.
Easier to keep to
A weekly session you can take from home is far simpler to protect than one that needs travel. That consistency is exactly where lasting change comes from.
The same confidentiality
Sessions run on a secure, encrypted video link, and everything is held to the same strict BACP confidentiality as work done in person.
How online sessions work
Here's what actually happens once we begin. 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.
The setup is light: somewhere quiet, a phone, tablet or laptop, and a workable connection. We open with a free fifteen-minute call, and after that each session is a secure link you click when the time comes.

Start the conversationFinding support in Hull
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Hull, you can refer yourself directly to NHS Hull 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.
Hull questions
Online Counselling for Drinking Problems in Hull: common questions
Can I have online counselling for drinking problems if I live in Hull?
Absolutely. Hull is well within reach, because we meet by secure video rather than in person. You'll get exactly the same specialist support as someone sitting in my Hove room.
What do I need to start online sessions in Hull?
Very little: a private space where you won't be interrupted, a laptop, tablet or phone, and a reasonable internet connection. After a free fifteen-minute call, I send a secure link you click at our agreed time.
Is online counselling for drinking problems as effective as meeting in person?
For most people, yes. Online therapy can be just as effective as meeting face to face, and many find it easier to open up from home. Everything is held with the same strict confidentiality as in-person work.
Can I use the NHS in Hull as well as seeing you?
Yes, and many people do both. You can access support from NHS Hull Talking Therapies 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.
