Life in Norwich
Why people in Norwich reach out
Norwich is a fine medieval city somewhat set apart at the heart of rural Norfolk, a long way by road from other centres. A large student population, low rural wages across the wider county and that sense of isolation all shape the pressures people here carry.
Norwich sits a little apart, a fine medieval city ringed by the Broads and the flat Norfolk countryside, a good hour or more by road from anywhere of comparable size. That separateness gives it a strong sense of itself, from the cobbles of Elm Hill and the stalls of the market to the cafes and terraces of the Golden Triangle. The University of East Anglia brings students and researchers out at Earlham, and Aviva's long presence anchors a city with deep roots in insurance and finance. But the same distance that makes Norwich feel distinctive can leave people feeling cut off when life gets hard, and in a place where many have grown up knowing one another, admitting to a struggle can feel exposing.
Beneath a calm, historic surface, struggle can be hard to voice; a confidential online hour asks nothing of appearances.
Norwich is home to the University of East Anglia and the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital; NHS mental health services across the area are provided by Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust.

Wherever you are in Norwich, 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 am based in Hove and see people across Norwich and rural Norfolk online, by video or telephone, rather than from a consulting room in the city. For a place set as far from other centres as Norwich, that removes the long drive that specialist support can otherwise mean. Wherever you are, from the Golden Triangle to a village out towards the Broads, all we need is a private space and a decent connection to make a start.

Relationship Counselling in Norwich
Why people in Norwich come for relationship counselling
Norwich sits a good way from anywhere of its size, and that separateness can seep into a relationship. When the wider world feels far off, couples can turn in on themselves, and old frictions have nowhere to go. Add long rural distances, work worries and a city where many have known one another for years, and it can feel hard to speak honestly about how things are at home. Relationship counselling makes a calm, private space to do exactly that. I work with couples and individuals across Norwich and rural Norfolk by video from Hove, with no drive across the county for either of you.
A free, unhurried first step

My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally. In Norwich, you can refer yourself directly to Norfolk and Waveney Talking Therapies for free NHS talking therapy, with no GP referral needed.
Private sessions with me usually mean you can start sooner and stay with the same counsellor throughout; I am glad to work alongside any NHS or GP support you already have.

Norwich questions
Online Relationship Counselling in Norwich: common questions
Can I get online relationship counselling if I live in Norwich?
Yes. I work with people right across Norwich, from the cathedral and the centre outwards, and anywhere else in East of England, 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.
We live out in rural Norfolk. Is online relationship counselling practical?
Very. Because sessions run by video from Hove, there is no long drive into the city for either partner, which often makes couples work possible when it otherwise would not be. You both join from home, or from wherever each of you can speak freely.
How soon can couples counselling start in Norwich?
Usually within a week or two. I work online across Norwich and rural Norfolk, from the Golden Triangle to a village near the Broads, so there is no waiting list. We begin with a free fifteen-minute call to check the fit, then book your first session together at a suitable time.
Is couples work available on the NHS in Norwich, and what are your fees?
NHS Talking Therapies in Norfolk and Waveney are free but rarely offer dedicated couples work, and waits vary. I work privately, so we can start sooner: £80 for sixty minutes, £100 for ninety and £120 for two hours, with couples often choosing a longer session.
We live apart, one in Norwich and one away. Can you still see us together?
Yes. Because sessions are online from Hove, you can both join the same secure video call from different places, which suits couples split by work or distance across Norfolk. There is no drive into the city, no waiting room, and I keep some evening times free.
Norwich feels a long way from specialist help. Does online change that?
It does. Because I work by video and phone from Hove, distance stops being the barrier it can be in Norfolk. There is no drive across the county for an appointment; you can talk from home, whether you are in the city or a village out towards the Broads, at a time that suits you.
I grew up here and worry about being recognised. Is it private?
That is a common worry in a city where people tend to know one another. Working online means no waiting room and no one to pass in the street. Our conversations are confidential, and you take part from wherever you feel safe and unobserved.
