Relationship Counselling for Leeds, without the journey
Across Leeds, from the centre and the waterfront to Headingley, Chapeltown, Armley and Roundhay, and from the streets around the arcades, the waterfront and the universities, online relationship counselling takes the logistics out of getting help: no commute, no waiting room, and the focus kept where it belongs, on you.
Although my practice sits on the Sussex coast in Hove, distance is no obstacle. People in Leeds work with me online and receive exactly the same specialist, confidential support as anyone who walks through the door.
I also work online with people elsewhere in Yorkshire & North East, including Bradford, Wakefield, Sheffield.
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 Leeds online relationship counselling is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Leeds
Why people in Leeds reach out
Leeds is the financial and cultural capital of West Yorkshire, a fast-growing city of finance, law and two big universities. The pace of professional life, rising costs and the gap between its prosperous and its struggling neighbourhoods all take a toll, and the busy centre can hide a great deal of private strain.
When so much of the week is spent travelling to and from work, finding time for yourself can feel impossible. Online counselling gives that hour back, without adding another trip to the day.

Why online works in Leeds
Why people in Leeds choose online counselling
Built around your commute
If your week in Leeds runs on the early train and the late return, online sessions slot into the day without adding another journey to it.
A wider choice of specialist
Working online means people in Leeds 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.
The same confidentiality
Sessions run on a secure, encrypted video link, and everything is held to the same strict BACP confidentiality as work done in person.
How online sessions work
Once the practical side is sorted, this is what the work looks like. My approach is integrative and person-centred. We are not looking for someone to blame, but at the system the two of you create together and where it gets stuck, drawing on relational therapy, Internal Family Systems and Human Givens approaches.
You don't need any special software, just a private space, a device with a camera and a decent connection. We always start with a free fifteen-minute call, and from then on you simply click a secure link at the time we've set.

Start the conversationFinding support in Leeds
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Leeds, you can refer yourself directly to Leeds Mental Wellbeing Service 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.
Leeds questions
Online Relationship Counselling in Leeds: common questions
Do you offer online relationship counselling for people in Leeds?
Yes. I work with clients in Leeds and right across the UK by secure video. You don't need to live near Brighton or Hove; online relationship counselling brings the same care to wherever you are.
What do I need to start online sessions in Leeds?
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 relationship counselling 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 Leeds as well as seeing you?
Yes, and many people do both. You can access support from Leeds Mental Wellbeing 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.
