Trauma Counselling for Nottingham, without the journey
Known for the castle, the Old Market Square and the two universities, Nottingham is a place of real character, with clients coming to me from from the centre and the Lace Market to Hyson Green, Sneinton and Beeston. Wherever you are across it, online counselling means experienced support without the travel, fitted around work, family and everything else.
From my base in Hove, I see clients all over the country by video. For someone in Nottingham, 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 Leicester, Derby, 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 Nottingham online trauma counselling is the natural and effective choice.
Life in Nottingham
Why people in Nottingham reach out
Nottingham is a lively city with two big universities and a strong creative streak, but it also carries real inequality and a reputation for hardship in parts. Student pressure, insecure work and money worries sit side by side here, and the busy centre can mask a good deal of private struggle.
In a big, fast-moving place it is easy to feel anonymous and hard to find a moment of genuine privacy. Online counselling brings a confidential hour to wherever you are, without crossing the city for it.

Why online works in Nottingham
Why people in Nottingham choose online counselling
Around terms and deadlines
Sessions flex around the academic calendar and shift work, so support holds steady through the busiest weeks.
No commute, no waiting room
From Nottingham, there's no journey across town and no waiting room. You join from wherever feels safe, and the rest of your day simply carries on around the session.
A wider choice of specialist
Working online means people in Nottingham 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.
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.
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 conversationFinding support in Nottingham
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Nottingham, you can refer yourself directly to Nottingham and Nottinghamshire 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.
Nottingham questions
Online Trauma Counselling in Nottingham: common questions
Can I have online trauma counselling if I live in Nottingham?
Absolutely. Nottingham 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 Nottingham?
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.
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 Nottingham as well as seeing you?
Yes, and many people do both. You can access support from Nottingham and Nottinghamshire 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.
Online Trauma Counselling in Nottingham, whenever you are ready
