Addiction Counsellor Leamington Spa
You are not alone
Addiction Counsellor Serving Coventry
If you're searching for an addiction counsellor from Coventry, you don't need to look only within the city. I'm Neil Philbin, an addiction specialist psychotherapist based a short drive away in Leamington Spa. Me and my team of therapists work with clients from across Coventry and the wider Warwickshire and West Midlands area, both in person and via secure online video sessions.
Coventry is around 10 miles from my practice, a straightforward 20-25 minute drive via the A429 or A46, Coventry-based clients sometimes find that seeing someone slightly outside the city, rather than at a service they might bump into a colleague or neighbour at, can make it seem a bit more private.
Why some Coventry clients choose to travel
Coventry has NHS and charity-run addiction services, but waiting lists can be long, and those services are often structured around group work or a specific treatment pathway rather than ongoing one-to-one psychotherapy. Private counselling gives you:
-
A start date measured in days, not months
-
Complete confidentiality, no risk of encountering someone you know from work or your local area
-
Sessions structured around you, not a fixed programme
-
The option of in-person sessions in Leamington Spa, online sessions from home in Coventry, or a mix of both
-
Can also work alongside group work or engagement with other organisations and we always support this as more support usually leads to better outcomes
What we can help with
We work with adults dealing with alcohol addiction, drug addiction, gambling addiction, and sex and pornography addiction, as well as the anxiety, low mood, shame, and relationship strain that so often accompany these struggles. Many clients come to us not because they've hit rock bottom, but because they've noticed a pattern in themselves they want to change before it goes further.
Sessions are one-to-one, our therapists have lived experience of recovery alongside our clinical training (MSc Integrative Psychotherapy, BSc (Hons) Addictions Counselling), We bring both a personal and professional understanding of what genuine change actually requires.
Getting here from Coventry
By car, the journey from most parts of Coventry takes well under half an hour. If travelling isn't practical for you, whether due to time, transport, or simply preferring the privacy of your own space, We offer the full service via video call, which many Coventry clients use for some or all of their sessions.
