Substance Use Counselling for Wrexham, without the journey
Across Wrexham, from the town centre and the church to Rhosddu, Caia Park and Gwersyllt, and from the streets around St Giles' church, the football ground and the Welsh borderland, online substance use counselling takes the logistics out of getting help: no commute, no waiting room, and the focus kept where it belongs, on you.
My room is in Hove, but the work reaches a great deal further. By secure video I support people throughout the UK, Wrexham included, with the same care and attention as an in-person session.
I also work online with people elsewhere in Wales, including Cardiff, Swansea, Newport.
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 Wrexham online substance use counselling is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Wrexham
Why people in Wrexham reach out
Wrexham, the largest town in north Wales and newly a city, grew on coal, steel and brewing and has felt their loss. Insecure work, money worries and the distance from larger centres in a border region all shape what people here carry, even as the town enjoys a new wave of attention.
In a settled, well-kept town where people tend to know one another, there can be a quiet pressure to look as though everything is fine. Online counselling keeps the whole thing private, with nobody to pass in a waiting room.
What I help with
How online substance use counselling can help
The false self
Letting go of the protective self that no longer serves you.
Specialised attention
One-to-one sessions shaped entirely around you.
Self-discovery
Rediscovering the authentic self beneath the coping.
Anxiety and low mood
Treating what the substance has been masking.
Sustainable change
Growing into recovery rather than forcing it.
Why online works in Wrexham
Why people in Wrexham choose online counselling
Discreet where pride runs deep
In a town that prizes getting on with things, online sessions let you seek support privately, with no one to pass on the way in.
A wider choice of specialist
Working online means people in Wrexham 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
The method itself is the same online as it is in the room. My approach is integrative and humanistic, starting from a simple premise: you are the expert on yourself. With support you can find yourself again, without the anaesthetic, working at a pace that always protects your sense of safety.
All it takes at your end is a private spot where you can talk freely, a device with a camera, and a steady signal. We begin with a free fifteen-minute call, then I send a link you join at our agreed time each week.

Start the conversationFinding support in Wrexham
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Wrexham, you can access NHS psychological therapies through your GP or local primary mental health support service. You can find support through the CALL Mental Health Helpline for Wales, free and confidential on 0800 132 737.
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 press 2 for urgent mental health support. The CALL Helpline for Wales is free on 0800 132 737, and the Samaritans are on 116 123.
Wrexham questions

Absolutely. Wrexham is well within reach, because we meet by secure video rather than in person. You'll get exactly the same specialist support as someone sitting in my Hove room.
What do I need to start online sessions in Wrexham?

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.
