About Gareth
Gareth Young helps people who are feeling anxious, low in confidence, or overwhelmed by life changes. He is a counsellor who aims to make the first step easier. Gareth speaks directly and kindly, and creates time to listen so people can start to make sense of what’s happening for them.
Gareth works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression and grief. He has experience supporting people facing relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, anger, and challenges at work.
Background and approach
Gareth also focuses on LGBT matters such as sexual and gender identity, and on young adult issues and self-esteem struggles. He draws on client-centred ideas to make sessions feel collaborative and respectful. Motivational interviewing helps when people want to make changes but feel stuck, and narrative therapy is used to help people reframe difficult stories about themselves.
Gareth adapts these approaches to suit each person’s goals and situation. Gareth holds the NCPS credential and has three years of professional practice. He works under UK therapy guidance and law and delivers sessions in English.
He is able to work with clients both in the United Kingdom and internationally. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Costs vary with location and are billed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone wants to make a change but feels stuck. It uses short conversations to highlight strengths and encourage practical steps, which can help with addictions, career moves or managing life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gareth will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try methods that suit the client’s needs. That collaborative process can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper discussion, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or people who find typing more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
