Life in Hull
Why people in Hull reach out
Hull is a proud port city on the Humber with a strong fishing heritage and a renewed cultural energy, but it has also weathered real hardship and isolation at the end of the line. Insecure work, money pressure and the distance from other cities shape much of what people here carry.
Hull sits where the river Hull meets the broad Humber estuary, a proud port city looking out to the North Sea. The cobbled Old Town and the marina cluster near the tidal barrier and The Deep, while the fishing heritage of Hessle Road and the café-lined Newland and Princes Avenues speak to different sides of the city. Its year as UK City of Culture in 2017 left a lasting mark, and the great single-span Humber Bridge still frames the western approach. Down at Alexandra Dock, the offshore wind industry has brought turbine manufacturing to the estuary, and ferries still slip out overnight for the Continent. The University of Hull anchors the north of the city off Cottingham Road.
Where work follows shifts and the rhythm of the docks, online sessions bend around unsociable hours rather than asking you to fit your life around them.
Hull is home to the University of Hull and Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill); Siemens Gamesa runs a major offshore wind turbine blade factory at Alexandra Dock on the Humber.

Wherever you are in Hull, the work is the same, a calm, confidential space shaped around you.
The relationship counselling itself
Relationship counselling here, for couples or individuals, slows down the pattern you are caught in and builds healthier ways of hearing and being heard.
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 relationship counselling 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.
I'm based in Hove and work with people across Hull by secure video call, not in person. Being at the end of the line, as Hull sometimes feels, makes online counselling genuinely useful here, distance stops mattering. You can join from home off Newland Avenue or wherever's quiet, and we keep a regular weekly time that works around shift patterns or family life rather than an office-hours appointment.

Relationship Counselling in Hull
Why people in Hull come for relationship counselling
Hull sits at the end of the line, as people here sometimes say, and that sense of being a little apart can seep into a relationship. Shift patterns around the docks and the offshore wind yards, tiring days and the feeling that specialist support is always a long drive away can leave couples weathering the strain on their own. Relationship counselling offers a warm, private hour to reconnect and speak plainly. I work with couples and individuals across Hull by video from Hove, so distance stops mattering, you both join from home off Newland Avenue or wherever's quiet, at a time that fits around rotas and family.

Hull questions
Online Relationship Counselling in Hull: common questions
Can I get online relationship counselling if I live in Hull?
Yes. I work with people right across Hull, from the Old Town and the marina outwards, and anywhere else in Yorkshire & North East, by secure video, no need to travel to Hove, and just as confidential as meeting in the room.
Can I come on my own, without my partner?
Yes. A great deal can change when one person shifts the pattern; you do not need to attend as a couple to do useful work.
Can we join the session from different locations?
Yes. Online makes it easy for couples in different places, or juggling childcare, to attend together.
Will you take sides?
No. We look at the pattern the two of you create together and where it gets stuck, not at who is to blame.
The nearest couples counselling feels miles away. Does online reach us?
Yes. Because sessions run by video from Hove, where you live in Hull makes no difference, there is no long drive for either partner. You both join from home, or from wherever each of you can speak freely, at a time that suits your week.
How soon can a couple in Hull start relationship counselling with you?
Usually within a week or two of a free 15-minute consultation. I am based in Hove and meet Hull couples securely online, from the Avenues to the Old Town, so distance from other cities is no barrier and there is no waiting list to join.
What do you charge couples in Hull, and could we go through the NHS?
Most couples choose 90 minutes at GBP 100, or 60 minutes at GBP 80. Relate and NHS services in Hull can cost less but often involve a wait, while private online work means we can begin sooner and keep a reliable weekly time that suits you both.
With shift work on the docks, can evening or flexible sessions be arranged?
Yes. Since we meet by video you can join together from home in Hull, or from two places if one partner is away offshore or working late. I keep some evening slots, so sessions can sit around shifts rather than competing with them.
Do you have a room in Hull?
No, I work online from Hove, so we'd meet by secure video rather than face to face in the city. For a place as far east as Hull, that removes the usual problem of specialist support being a long drive away; you can talk from home without travelling at all.
I work shifts around the docks, can sessions fit that?
Yes. Because everything is online, we can find a slot that works around rotas and awkward hours rather than office-time appointments. If a shift changes, moving a video session is far simpler than rearranging a trip across the city, so a regular time is easy to keep.
