Life in Wrexham
Why people in Wrexham reach out
Wrexham, the largest town in north Wales and newly a city, grew on coal, steel and brewing and has felt their loss. Insecure work, money worries and the distance from larger centres in a border region all shape what people here carry, even as the town enjoys a new wave of attention.
Wrexham, Wrecsam, is the largest town in north Wales and, since 2022, a city. It grew on the coal and steel of the Denbighshire coalfield, on the leather trade, and on brewing, being home to Wrexham Lager, the first lager brewed in Britain. The tower of St Giles' Church is counted among the Seven Wonders of Wales, and the town has lately drawn worldwide attention through Wrexham AFC, the oldest football club in Wales, playing at the historic Racecourse Ground. Set in the borderland where the Welsh hills meet the Cheshire plain, the city serves a wide rural hinterland. Districts such as Rhosddu, Caia Park and Gwersyllt spread out from the compact old centre, with Wrexham University drawing students in.
In a close-knit town where people tend to know one another, online keeps support entirely private, with nobody to pass in a waiting room.
Wrexham, granted city status in 2022, is home to Wrexham University and the Wrexham Maelor Hospital under Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, plus Wrexham AFC at the Racecourse Ground.

The counselling for drinking problems itself
Counselling for drinking problems here looks beneath the habit at what drives it, you do not need to have hit rock bottom to begin, and signposts medical, detox and peer support where useful.
The approach is the same wherever you live, so rather than repeat it on every page you can read it in full, the methods, what each session covers and fees, on the main counselling for drinking problems page and on how I work.
How online sessions work
Sessions run over a secure, encrypted video link held to the same strict BACP confidentiality as meeting in person. After a free fifteen-minute call to check we are a good fit, you join each session from any private space using a phone, tablet or laptop, no software to install, no waiting room and no journey at either end.
In a border region like this, specialist face-to-face help can mean a trip into the city or across into Cheshire, and for people in the outlying villages that adds up. My practice is based in Hove, on the far south coast, so I am not able to see anyone in Wrexham in person. I do offer confidential counselling by secure video, which reaches Wrexham and everywhere else in Wales, and the UK besides, so the distance never becomes the obstacle.

Counselling for Drinking Problems in Wrexham
Why people in Wrexham come for counselling for drinking problems
As a town with a long brewing tradition and a strong social life around its football and its pubs, Wrexham is a place where drinking sits easily in the everyday. That can make it harder to notice when alcohol has quietly become a crutch rather than a pleasure. My work gives you room to look at your drinking honestly, without shame or a lecture, and to decide what you would like to change. Being Hove-based, I meet people by secure video rather than in a local room, so the conversation stays private and reaches you at home, wherever in the area you live.
A free, unhurried first step
Not sure if it is right for you? A free fifteen-minute call is a no-obligation way to talk it through.

Wrexham questions
Online Counselling for Drinking Problems in Wrexham: common questions
Can I get online counselling for drinking problems if I live in Wrexham?
Yes. I work with people right across Wrexham, from the town centre and the church outwards, and anywhere else in Wales, by secure video, no need to travel to Hove, and just as confidential as meeting in the room.
Do I have to stop drinking completely to start?
No, and you do not need to have hit rock bottom. We look at the role drinking plays and find a steadier way forward at your pace.
Can you help me cut down rather than quit?
For many people moderation is a valid goal, and we will be honest together about what is realistic for you.
What if I've tried before and relapsed?
Relapse is part of many people's recovery, not a failure. We learn from it rather than start the count again from zero.
Can I come to a Wrexham office instead?
No, there isn't one. My practice is in Hove, and I work with people across north Wales by secure video rather than in person. Everything is handled online from wherever suits you, which for many removes the biggest barrier to starting.
How soon can I get help for a drinking problem in Wrexham?
Often within days. We begin with a free 15-minute consultation, then book a full session at a convenient time. Everything is online by secure video, so wherever you are around Wrexham there is no queue and no need to travel into the city or across the border.
What does drinking problem counselling cost against NHS options in Wrexham?
NHS alcohol services through Betsi Cadwaladr health board and the free Dan 24/7 line cost nothing but often carry a wait. My fees are £80 for 60 minutes, £100 for 90 and £120 for 120, beginning with a free 15-minute consultation.
Are evening online drinking sessions available in Wrexham?
Yes. Evenings are often when drinking feels hardest, and after dark the drive from an outlying village is worse, so I keep some later slots. You meet me by secure video from home anywhere around Wrexham, keeping things private with no travel at all.
I'm in a village outside Wrexham, is that a problem?
Not at all. Sessions happen by secure video, so whether you are in the city, out towards the hills or over near the border, the appointment comes to you. There is no travel to arrange and no waiting room to sit in.
Can I come to a Wrexham office?
No, there isn't one. My practice is in Hove, and I work with people across north Wales online rather than in person. Everything is handled by secure video from wherever suits you.
