Counselling for Drinking Problems for Telford, without the journey
Across Telford, from the town centre and Wellington to Dawley, Madeley and Hadley, and from the streets around the Wrekin, Ironbridge nearby and the town park, online counselling for drinking problems takes the logistics out of getting help: no commute, no waiting room, and the focus kept where it belongs, on you.
I'm based in Hove on the Sussex coast and work with clients right across the UK by secure video. For Telford, 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 Midlands, including Wolverhampton, Stoke-on-Trent, Birmingham.
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 Telford online counselling for drinking problems is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Telford
Why people in Telford reach out
Telford is a new town stitched together from older settlements in largely rural Shropshire, and that mix of new estates and a spread-out layout can make it harder to feel rooted. Many came for work and housing without the family networks that hold people up, and the nearest specialist help can be a fair way off.
Newer and fast-growing towns are full of people who arrived from somewhere else, often without the family and old friends who used to be close by. Online counselling offers a steady, confidential connection while you build a life here.

Why online works in Telford
Why people in Telford choose online counselling
Discreet where pride runs deep
In a town that prizes getting on with things, online sessions let you seek support privately, with no one to pass on the way in.
Gentle when leaving home is hard
If anxiety, low mood or avoidance make leaving the house feel like too much right now, starting online from Telford can be the gentlest possible way in.
Less time lost from work
An online hour rarely costs you a half-day, which is what makes regular sessions realistic for busy lives in Telford.
Support that travels
If you move, travel for work or split your time between places, online counselling carries on uninterrupted wherever you happen to be.
How online sessions work
Here's what actually happens once we begin. 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 Telford
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Telford, you can refer yourself directly to NHS talking therapies for anxiety and depression, with no GP referral needed. You can find support 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.
Telford questions
Online Counselling for Drinking Problems in Telford: common questions
Can I have online counselling for drinking problems if I live in Telford?
Absolutely. Telford 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 Telford?
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 Telford 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.
