Counselling for Drinking Problems for Perth, without the journey
Known for the Tay, the two Inches and the Fair City heritage, Perth is a place of real character, with clients coming to me from from the centre and the Inches to Craigie, Letham and Scone. 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 Perth, 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 Scotland, including Dundee, Stirling, Kirkcaldy.
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 Perth online counselling for drinking problems is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Perth
Why people in Perth reach out
Perth, the Fair City on the Tay, is a prosperous-looking gateway between the central belt and the Highlands, but its rural hinterland brings low wages and isolation. The quiet pressures of small-city and country life can build slowly, with specialist help often a long way off.
In a settled, well-kept town where people tend to know one another, there can be a quiet pressure to look as though everything is fine. Online counselling keeps the whole thing private, with nobody to pass in a waiting room.

Why online works in Perth
Why people in Perth choose online counselling
Private and unhurried
A confidential online hour asks nothing of appearances and meets you exactly where you are.
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 Perth, 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
Underneath the screen, the therapy itself works like this. 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.
Practically, it couldn't be simpler: a quiet room, a device with a camera, and a steady internet connection. After a free fifteen-minute call to check the fit, you'll get a private link to join at our agreed time.

Start the conversationFinding support in Perth
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Perth, your GP can refer you to NHS psychological therapies, and you can find trusted self-help through NHS inform. You can find support through NHS inform; for confidential listening support, Breathing Space is free on 0800 83 85 87.
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 24 on 111 for urgent mental health support. Breathing Space is free on 0800 83 85 87, and the Samaritans are on 116 123.
Perth questions
Online Counselling for Drinking Problems in Perth: common questions
Can I have online counselling for drinking problems if I live in Perth?
Absolutely. Perth 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 Perth?
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 Perth 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.
