Counselling for Drinking Problems for Norwich, without the journey
From the heart of Norwich, near the cathedral, the castle and the medieval lanes, out to its edges, from the cathedral and the centre to the Golden Triangle, Mile Cross and Thorpe Hamlet, online sessions make it possible to get the right support without rearranging your whole day around a single appointment.
Hove is where my room is, but the support is not tied to Sussex. Over a secure link I work with people in Norwich and far beyond, with the same depth and confidentiality as meeting face to face.
I also work online with people elsewhere in East of England, including Cambridge, Ipswich, King's Lynn.
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 Norwich online counselling for drinking problems is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Norwich
Why people in Norwich reach out
Norwich is a fine medieval city somewhat set apart at the heart of rural Norfolk, a long way by road from other centres. A large student population, low rural wages across the wider county and that sense of isolation all shape the pressures people here carry.
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.

Why online works in Norwich
Why people in Norwich choose online counselling
Discreet in a close-knit place
In a town where people know one another, online sessions keep your support entirely private.
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 Norwich, that comfort is part of the work, not a compromise.
Begin sooner
Rather than waiting for a local appointment to come free, an online slot often means you can start the work much sooner.
How online sessions work
The method itself is the same online as it is in the room. 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.
Sessions run over a secure video link. All you need is a private space where you won't be interrupted, a laptop, tablet or phone, and a reasonable connection. We begin with a free fifteen-minute call, then I send a simple link you click at the agreed time.

Start the conversationFinding support in Norwich
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Norwich, you can refer yourself directly to Norfolk and Waveney 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.
