Relationship Counselling for Lisburn, without the journey
From the heart of Lisburn, near the cathedral, the Lagan and the linen heritage, out to its edges, from the city centre and the cathedral to Old Warren, Lagmore and nearby Hillsborough, online sessions make it possible to get the right support without rearranging your whole day around a single appointment.
I'm based in Hove on the Sussex coast and work with clients right across the UK by secure video. For Lisburn, that means a BACP-registered counsellor specialising in addiction, anxiety, depression, relationships and trauma, available from the privacy of your own space.
I also work online with people elsewhere in Northern Ireland, including Belfast, Craigavon, Derry.
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 Lisburn online relationship counselling is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Lisburn
Why people in Lisburn reach out
Lisburn is a city just south-west of Belfast, close enough to share the capital's commuter rhythm and its history. The legacy of the past, money pressure and the strain of commuting all shape what people here carry.
Commuter life has a particular cost: the early train, the late return, and a working day that quietly swallows the daylight hours. An online session you can take from home, with no journey at either end, removes the very obstacle that stops many people starting.

Why online works in Lisburn
Why people in Lisburn choose online counselling
Built around your commute
If your week in Lisburn runs on the early train and the late return, online sessions slot into the day without adding another journey to it.
Gentle when leaving home is hard
If anxiety, low mood or avoidance make leaving the house feel like too much right now, starting online from Lisburn can be the gentlest possible way in.
Less time lost from work
An online hour rarely costs you a half-day, which is what makes regular sessions realistic for busy lives in Lisburn.
Support that travels
If you move, travel for work or split your time between places, online counselling carries on uninterrupted wherever you happen to be.
How online sessions work
Here's what actually happens once we begin. 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 Lisburn
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Lisburn, your GP can refer you to talking therapies and counselling through Health and Social Care. You can find support through Lifeline, Northern Ireland's crisis helpline, free on 0808 808 8000.
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 Lifeline free on 0808 808 8000. Lifeline is free on 0808 808 8000, and the Samaritans are on 116 123.
