Counselling for Drinking Problems for Liverpool, without the journey
From the heart of Liverpool, near the waterfront, the two cathedrals and the music heritage, out to its edges, from the waterfront and the centre to Toxteth, Anfield, Allerton and Walton, 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 Liverpool, 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 North West, including Warrington, Preston, Chester.
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 Liverpool online counselling for drinking problems is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Liverpool
Why people in Liverpool reach out
Liverpool's warmth, humour and strong sense of community are famous, but the city has also weathered real hardship and disinvestment over the years. Insecure work and money pressure remain part of life for many, and the expectation to stay strong for everyone else can make it hard to admit you are struggling.
Port towns run on shifts and movement, and that constant churn can make it hard to feel settled or to keep a regular appointment. Online counselling flexes around unsociable hours rather than asking you to fit your life around it.

Why online works in Liverpool
Why people in Liverpool choose online counselling
Around terms and deadlines
Sessions flex around the academic calendar and shift work, so support holds steady through the busiest weeks.
No commute, no waiting room
From Liverpool, 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.
A wider choice of specialist
Working online means people in Liverpool 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.
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.
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 Liverpool
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Liverpool, you can refer yourself directly to NHS Talking Therapies Liverpool 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.
Liverpool questions
Online Counselling for Drinking Problems in Liverpool: common questions
Can I have online counselling for drinking problems if I live in Liverpool?
Absolutely. Liverpool 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 Liverpool?
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.
Is online counselling private and confidential?
Yes. Sessions run on a secure, encrypted video link, and everything we discuss is held to the same strict BACP confidentiality as work done in person. All you need at your end is a private space.
