Hove is where my room is, but the support is not tied to Sussex. Over a secure link I work with people in Tunbridge Wells and far beyond, with the same depth and confidentiality as meeting face to face.
I also work online with people elsewhere in London & South East, including Maidstone, London, Reading.

Life in Tunbridge Wells
Why people in Tunbridge Wells reach out
Tunbridge Wells is a genteel spa town with a long-distance commute into the City, and its well-heeled reputation can make struggle feel like something to hide. Behind comfortable front doors, the pressure to maintain a certain standard, alongside demanding work and family expectations, can leave people anxious, exhausted and reluctant to say so.
In a well-heeled town, the pressure to maintain a certain standard can make admitting to struggle feel awkward. Online counselling is entirely discreet, with no clinic to be seen entering.

Why online works in Tunbridge Wells
Why people in Tunbridge Wells choose online counselling
Built around your commute
If your week in Tunbridge Wells runs on the early train and the late return, online sessions slot into the day without adding another journey to it.
No commute, no waiting room
From Tunbridge Wells, there's no journey across town and no waiting room. You join from wherever feels safe, and the rest of your day simply carries on around the session.
A wider choice of specialist
Working online means people in Tunbridge Wells 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.
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.
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 Tunbridge Wells
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Tunbridge Wells, you can refer yourself directly to NHS Talking Therapies Kent and Medway 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.
