Intrusive memories
Support for flashbacks, nightmares and re-experiencing.
Online Trauma Counselling · Norwich
Online trauma counselling for Norwich, by secure video, wherever you are. Waiting lists and a shortage of local specialists shouldn't stand between you and help. Online trauma counselling gives Norwich a direct route to an experienced, BACP-registered counsellor, by secure video.
From the heart of Norwich, near the cathedral, the castle and the medieval lanes, out to its edges, from the cathedral and the centre to the Golden Triangle, Mile Cross and Thorpe Hamlet, online sessions make it possible to get the right support without rearranging your whole day around a single appointment.
Hove is where my room is, but the support is not tied to Sussex. Over a secure link I work with people in Norwich and far beyond, with the same depth and confidentiality as meeting face to face.
I also work online with people elsewhere in East of England, including Cambridge, Ipswich, King's Lynn.
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 Norwich online trauma counselling is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Norwich
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.
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.
What I help with
Support for flashbacks, nightmares and re-experiencing.
Help when your nervous system is stuck on high alert.
For when you cope by shutting down.
Healing the wound that drives the habit.
Reaching the quieter, accumulated hurts.
Working always at a pace that is led by you.
Why online works in Norwich
Sessions flex around the academic calendar and shift work, so support holds steady through the busiest weeks.
Many people find it easier to open up from their own sofa than in an unfamiliar room. From Norwich, that comfort is part of the work, not a compromise.
Rather than waiting for a local appointment to come free, an online slot often means you can start the work much sooner.
The technology fades within minutes. What remains is a real, attentive conversation, the same one we'd have sitting in the room together.
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.
Sessions run over a secure video link. All you need is a private space where you won't be interrupted, a laptop, tablet or phone, and a reasonable connection. We begin with a free fifteen-minute call, then I send a simple link you click at the agreed time.

Start the conversationMy online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Norwich, you can refer yourself directly to Norfolk and Waveney 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.
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.
