Trauma Counselling for Hull, without the journey
Across Hull, from the Old Town and the marina to Newland Avenue, Bransholme and Hessle Road, and from the streets around the marina, the Deep and the Humber Bridge, online trauma 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 Hull 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 York, Leeds, 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 Hull online trauma counselling is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Hull
Why people in Hull reach out
Hull is a proud port city on the Humber with a strong fishing heritage and a renewed cultural energy, but it has also weathered real hardship and isolation at the end of the line. Insecure work, money pressure and the distance from other cities shape much of what people here carry.
Life by the sea has a slower, gentler rhythm, but it can also leave you feeling a long way from things, including good specialist support. A secure video link closes that distance completely.

Why online works in Hull
Why people in Hull choose online counselling
Around shift work
If your hours follow the rhythm of the port, online sessions bend around shifts rather than the other way round.
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 Hull, 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.
How online sessions work
Beyond the practicalities, this is the heart of how the work goes. 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.
The setup is light: somewhere quiet, a phone, tablet or laptop, and a workable connection. We open with a free fifteen-minute call, and after that each session is a secure link you click when the time comes.

Start the conversationFinding support in Hull
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Hull, you can refer yourself directly to NHS Hull Talking Therapies 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.
Hull questions
Online Trauma Counselling in Hull: common questions
Can I have online trauma counselling if I live in Hull?
Absolutely. Hull 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.
How does online trauma counselling work from Hull?
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.
Does online therapy really work?
Online and in-person therapy are similarly effective for most people, and clients usually settle quickly once the screen fades into the background and the conversation takes over.
Can I use the NHS in Hull as well as seeing you?
Yes, and many people do both. You can access support from NHS Hull Talking Therapies 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.
