Addiction Counselling Leamington Spa
You are not alone
I'm Neil Philbin, an addiction specialist psychotherapist based in Leamington Spa. Solihull is around 17 miles away from our clinic, roughly a 30 minute drive via the A452 and M42. Me and my team work with a number of Solihull clients who prefer travelling slightly further afield for the level of privacy and discretion that distance can bring, alongside others who see me entirely online.
Solihull sits close to Birmingham, so many clients here are professionals with demanding, visible jobs, people for whom the idea of being seen walking into a local counselling service, or recognised in a waiting room, is itself a barrier to getting help. Travelling to Leamington Spa, or simply logging on for a video session, removes that concern completely.
Why Solihull clients choose private counselling
-
Genuine confidentiality. No overlap with local social or professional circles.
-
No waiting list. Sessions can usually start within days of your first enquiry, not months.
-
One-to-one, not group-based. Sessions are built entirely around your situation, not a fixed programme.
-
Flexible access. In person in Leamington Spa, online via secure video call, or a combination, whatever fits your schedule and comfort level.
What We help with
We work with adults dealing with alcohol addiction, drug addiction, gambling addiction, and sex and pornography addiction, along with the anxiety, low self-worth, and relationship difficulties that so often sit alongside them. Many Solihull clients come to me while still fully functioning in their careers and family life, wanting to address a pattern before it costs them more.
Our approach combines formal clinical qualifications (MSc, MBACP) with lived experience of addiction and recovery, so sessions are grounded in real understanding, not just textbook knowledge.
Getting here from Solihull
The drive down to Leamington Spa is straightforward, around 30 minutes via the M42 and A452, and well outside the towns where you're likely to be recognised. For clients who'd rather not make the trip at all, I offer the complete service over video call, with no difference in the depth or quality of support.
