Counselling for Drinking Problems for Llanelli, without the journey
Known for the coastal path, the rugby heritage and the Loughor estuary, Llanelli is a place of real character, with clients coming to me from from the town centre and the Millennium Coastal Path to Felinfoel, Bynea and Llwynhendy. Wherever you are across it, online counselling means experienced support without the travel, fitted around work, family and everything else.
My room is in Hove, but the work reaches a great deal further. By secure video I support people throughout the UK, Llanelli included, with the same care and attention as an in-person session.
I also work online with people elsewhere in Wales, including Swansea, Neath, 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 Llanelli online counselling for drinking problems is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Llanelli
Why people in Llanelli reach out
Llanelli, a coastal town in Carmarthenshire once known for tinplate, has lived through the decline of its industries. Insecure work, money worries and the distance from larger centres in west Wales all shape the pressures 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 Llanelli
Why people in Llanelli choose online counselling
Private in a close-knit place
In tight valley communities where people know one another, online keeps your support entirely confidential.
A wider choice of specialist
Working online means people in Llanelli 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
Beyond the practicalities, this is the heart of how the work goes. 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.

Start the conversationFinding support in Llanelli
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Llanelli, 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.
Llanelli questions
Online Counselling for Drinking Problems in Llanelli: common questions
Can I have online counselling for drinking problems if I live in Llanelli?
Absolutely. Llanelli 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 Llanelli?
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 Llanelli 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.
