Trauma Counselling for Craigavon, without the journey

From the heart of Craigavon, near the lakes, the linen heritage and the Lough Neagh shore, out to its edges, from Lurgan and Portadown to Brownlow and the linked centre, online sessions make it possible to get the right support without rearranging your whole day around a single appointment.

From my base in Hove, I see clients all over the country by video. For someone in Craigavon, that opens up an experienced, BACP-registered specialist without the need to find one on your own doorstep.

I also work online with people elsewhere in Northern Ireland, including Lisburn, Newry, Belfast.

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 Craigavon online trauma counselling is the natural and effective choice.

Life in Craigavon

Why people in Craigavon reach out

Craigavon is a planned new town stitching together Lurgan and Portadown in County Armagh, and its dispersed, planned layout can make it harder to feel rooted. Insecure work, the legacy of division and the spread-out geography all shape what people here carry.

Newer and fast-growing towns are full of people who arrived from somewhere else, often without the family and old friends who used to be close by. Online counselling offers a steady, confidential connection while you build a life here.

Why online works in Craigavon

Why people in Craigavon choose online counselling

Steady support through change

If you've recently moved to Craigavon for work or housing, online keeps your support consistent while you put down roots.

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.

The comfort of your own space

Many people find it easier to open up from their own sofa than in an unfamiliar room. From Craigavon, that comfort is part of the work, not a compromise.

Begin sooner

Rather than waiting for a local appointment to come free, an online slot often means you can start the work much sooner.

A calm space for online trauma counselling in Craigavon

How online sessions work

The method itself is the same online as it is in the room. I am integratively trained and draw on approaches designed specifically for trauma, including the Human Givens Rewind Technique, a calm, non-intrusive method that returns a memory to ordinary recall. You do not have to relive the detail or even speak it aloud for this to work.

Practically, it couldn't be simpler: a quiet room, a device with a camera, and a steady internet connection. After a free fifteen-minute call to check the fit, you'll get a private link to join at our agreed time.

Finding support in Craigavon

My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Craigavon, 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.

Yes. I work with clients in Craigavon and right across the UK by secure video. You don't need to live near Brighton or Hove; online trauma counselling brings the same care to wherever you are.

How does online trauma counselling work from Craigavon?

We meet over a secure, private video link at a time that suits you. You'll need a quiet space, a device with a camera and a steady connection. We always begin with a free fifteen-minute call so you can ask questions and check the fit.

Is online trauma counselling as effective as meeting in person?

Yes, and many people do both. You can access support from your local NHS talking therapies or counselling 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.
