Trauma Counselling for Kettering, without the journey
From the heart of Kettering, near the parish church spire, the Alfred East gallery and the surrounding countryside, out to its edges, from the town centre and the parish church to Barton Seagrave, Mawsley and Burton Latimer, 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 Kettering, 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 Midlands, including Northampton, Peterborough, Birmingham.
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 Kettering online trauma counselling is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Kettering
Why people in Kettering reach out
Kettering is a Northamptonshire market and former boot-and-shoe town that has grown with new housing and commuters. The mix of an older industrial identity and a fast-changing population can leave people feeling unsettled, and good local support is not always close by.
Smaller towns can be close-knit in ways that are both comforting and exposing. Working online means you can seek support discreetly, without being seen coming and going.

Why online works in Kettering
Why people in Kettering choose online counselling
Discreet in a close-knit place
In a town where people know one another, online sessions keep your support entirely private.
Human, even on a screen
The technology fades within minutes. What remains is a real, attentive conversation, the same one we'd have sitting in the room together.
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 Kettering 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 Kettering.
How online sessions work
However we meet, the approach stays consistent. 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.

Start the conversationFinding support in Kettering
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Kettering, you can refer yourself directly to NHS talking therapies for anxiety and depression, with no GP referral needed. You can find support 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.
Kettering questions
Online Trauma Counselling in Kettering: common questions
Do you offer online trauma counselling for people in Kettering?
Yes. I work with clients in Kettering 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.
What do I need to start online sessions in Kettering?
Very little: a private space where you won't be interrupted, a laptop, tablet or phone, and a reasonable internet connection. After a free fifteen-minute call, I send a secure link you click at our agreed time.
Is online trauma counselling as effective as meeting in person?
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.
Can I use the NHS in Kettering as well as seeing you?
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.
