Life in Wrexham
Why people in Wrexham get in touch
Coal, steel and brewing built the streets around Wrexham, and the families who worked in them learned to be dependable above everything else. St Giles' Church has watched several versions of this town come and go. What passes down through those generations is not usually a story; it is a manner. You do not complain, you do not sit down for long, and you certainly do not talk about your feelings to somebody who is paid to listen. If you were raised in Caia Park or Gresford with that as the background music, you may be an adult who functions extremely well and privately suspects there is something wrong with you that nobody must ever see.

What would we do together in psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy here goes a little deeper and usually a little longer than counselling, into the patterns, beliefs and early relationships that shape how you feel now, so change is understood at the root and holds.
Rather than say the same thing on every page, the substance lives on the full psychotherapy page, with how I work for the practical questions and my credentials and registration for registration and ethics.
What happens in an online session?
Sessions run over a secure, encrypted video link, held to the same BACP confidentiality as meeting in person. After a free fifteen-minute call, you join from any private space on a phone, tablet or laptop.
Wrexham work is done by video from Hove, and long therapy takes to that arrangement well. Open-ended work needs a weekly hour that stays put for a year or more, and video defends it against distance, weather and the north Wales roads in winter. People here have kept the same slot through changes of employer and through moving out of the area entirely. Set up somewhere private, and treat that hour as already spoken for.

Psychotherapy in Wrexham
Why people in Wrexham come for psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is for what has been there a great deal longer than this year. In Wrexham the average anxiety rating was 3.22 out of 10 in the year ending March 2023, marginally below the Wales average of 3.3, and a figure like that describes how a place feels rather than why one person has felt this way since they were fifteen. The why is what this work goes after. We look at your earliest relationships, at what you had to be in order to be approved of, and at the conclusions you drew about your own worth long before you could question them. Sessions are weekly, months at the very least, with no end date fixed in advance. It suits people who have already had shorter help and watched the same thing come back. For NHS support in Wales, that begins at your GP.

Wrexham questions
Online Psychotherapy in Wrexham: common questions
How long does this sort of therapy last?
A year is normal and two is not unusual. It runs weekly and open-ended rather than as a block of sessions, and we review it as we go rather than counting down. You are free to finish whenever you feel it has done what you needed.
What is the cost over that kind of period?
£80 for each weekly hour, with £100 for 90 minutes and £120 for two hours where a longer session helps. Sustained across a year that is significant money, so use the free 15-minute call to work out a pace you can genuinely keep up.
Does the NHS in Wales run anything like this?
Rarely at this length. NHS therapy is usually time-limited and aimed at current symptoms, which suits a lot of people. Your GP is the way in and can describe what local mental health support is offering. Some people use that alongside private work here.
How is this different from the counselling on the other page?
Depth and duration. Counselling deals with the present and often finishes within a few months. Psychotherapy examines how you came to be the way you are, which takes a year or more. The counselling page is the right start if you are not sure which you need.
I am in my fifties. Is it too late to change something this old?
No, and people in their fifties and sixties are among those who get most from it. By then the pattern is obvious enough to be seen clearly, and there is usually less to prove. Long-standing does not mean fixed; it means it will not shift in six sessions.
Can long-term therapy really work at a distance?
Yes. The regularity and privacy of meeting from your own home can help the deeper work rather than hinder it, and the relationship between us holds firmly over secure video. People across the Wrexham area engage in ongoing psychotherapy with me this way.
How soon could I start longer-term psychotherapy while living in Wrexham?
Usually within a week or two. Psychotherapy is deeper, ongoing work, so we start with a free 15-minute consultation to check it suits you. I work with people across north Wales by secure video, with no local waiting list slowing things down.
What does ongoing psychotherapy cost compared with NHS provision in Wales?
Each session is £80 for 60 minutes, £100 for 90 or £120 for 120, after a free 15-minute consultation. NHS Wales rarely offers open-ended psychotherapy without a long wait, so private online work gives you sustained, deeper sessions that can begin straight away.
Can deeper psychotherapy be done properly over video from home in Wrexham?
Yes. Many people find the depth of psychotherapy comes more easily from a familiar room than a clinic reached by a long drive. Working by secure video, I see people weekly across the Wrexham area, with evening slots to fit around work.
