Gary Mewes is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people find clearer ways forward. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and depression. Gary speaks English and practises in the United Kingdom.

Gary draws on seven years of counselling experience to offer calm, practical support. He listens first and helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck. Together they set small, manageable goals and try out new ways of responding to difficult feelings and situations.

Background and approach

When relationships are tense he uses methods that focus on communication and connection. That can include exploring how partners relate, and trying specific exercises to improve listening and closeness. For intimacy or addiction concerns he helps people understand triggers and build healthier routines.

Gary follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy code of conduct, BACP. He also has experience working with people facing separation, fatherhood concerns, guilt and shame, and isolation. His style is straightforward, warm and non-judgemental.

Sessions can be by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time to meet. Gary aims to make the process manageable and relevant to everyday life.

How therapy approaches adapt to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. In online sessions this means the counsellor reflects what a person says, helps them name feelings, and supports them to make choices that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, uses clear steps to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. It is useful for anxiety, stress, depression and addictive patterns and translates well to video or phone sessions where homework and short exercises are agreed together.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gary will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time, so therapy stays relevant and manageable.

Online sessions can be flexible and practical. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice communication exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short, regular check-ins and written reflection between meetings. These options help people fit counselling around work, childcare and other commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
