Gary Mewes

Gary Mewes is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people find clearer ways forward. He works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles and depression. Gary follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy code of practice and brings seven years of experience to his work.

Gary listens for what matters most to each person and helps them name the problems they want to change. He uses practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy to spot unhelpful patterns and try small experiments. For relationship concerns he draws on the Gottman Method and Imago principles to improve communication and rebuild connection.

Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Gary helps clients break problems into manageable steps and practises new ways of responding between meetings. He offers support for issues such as infidelity, commitment worries, intimacy concerns, abandonment and attachment difficulties.

People who are dealing with caregiver stress, feelings of emptiness, guilt or shame, or isolation can also find clear, practical help. Gary encourages honest discussion about how past experiences shape current reactions, and he works with clients to develop more helpful patterns.

For those facing separation or divorce he provides a calm space to talk through emotions and practical next steps. To begin, clients are invited to use the site's Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a session.

How therapy approaches shape online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's priorities at the heart of each meeting. The counsellor listens closely and reflects back what matters, helping people make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach suits work on general wellbeing, stress and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and short experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving, which can help with anxiety, depression and addictive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide which methods best match the client's goals and preferences, and may combine elements of different approaches over time. Clients are invited to discuss what feels most useful and adjust the plan as they go.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find that online sessions fit more easily into busy lives by cutting travel time and allowing meetings during a lunch break or after work. Others appreciate shorter check-ins or audio-only options when needed. Discussing practical arrangements at the first appointment helps fit therapy into everyday routines.
