Counselling for Drinking Problems for Newcastle upon Tyne, without the journey
Known for the bridges, the Quayside and the two universities, Newcastle upon Tyne is a place of real character, with clients coming to me from from the Quayside and the centre to Jesmond, Heaton, Byker and Gosforth. Wherever you are across it, online counselling means experienced support without the travel, fitted around work, family and everything else.
I'm based in Hove on the Sussex coast and work with clients right across the UK by secure video. For Newcastle upon Tyne, that means a BACP-registered counsellor specialising in addiction, anxiety, depression, relationships and trauma, available from the privacy of your own space.
I also work online with people elsewhere in Yorkshire & North East, including Sunderland, Gateshead, Durham.
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 Newcastle upon Tyne online counselling for drinking problems is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Newcastle upon Tyne
Why people in Newcastle upon Tyne reach out
Newcastle is the lively heart of the North East, famous for its warmth, nightlife and fierce local pride, and that pride can make admitting to struggle feel hard. A region shaped by the loss of heavy industry, insecure work and money worries all weigh on people behind the good humour.
In a university city the academic year sets a relentless pace, and the pressure to keep performing can make it hard to admit you are struggling. Online sessions fit around terms, deadlines and shift patterns rather than fighting them.
What I help with
How online counselling for drinking problems can help
The cause, not the habit
Looking beneath the drinking to what drives it.
Anxiety and low mood
Working with what the alcohol has been managing.
Privacy at home
Sensitive support without anyone needing to know.
Signposting
Links to medical, detox and peer support where useful.
Without the anaesthetic
Reconnecting with the person beneath the drinking.
Why online works in Newcastle upon Tyne
Why people in Newcastle upon Tyne choose online counselling
Around terms and deadlines
Sessions flex around the academic calendar and shift work, so support holds steady through the busiest weeks.
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.
The comfort of your own space
Many people find it easier to open up from their own sofa than in an unfamiliar room. From Newcastle upon Tyne, that comfort is part of the work, not a compromise.
How online sessions work
Once the practical side is sorted, this is what the work looks like. 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 Newcastle upon Tyne
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Newcastle upon Tyne, you can refer yourself directly to NHS Newcastle 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.
