About Gary
Gary Mewes works from a client-centred perspective that keeps the person in the middle of every conversation. He focuses on clear, practical steps while listening closely to what matters most to each individual. Gary offers calm, straightforward support for people facing anxiety, stress, addictions, relationship and intimacy difficulties, and depression.
He has seven years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
Gary draws on different ways of working to match each person's needs rather than relying on a single method. This helps him tailor sessions to the issue at hand and the goals the client brings. In sessions he uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy to look at thinking patterns and actions that keep problems going.
He also brings relationship-focused approaches to conversations about trust, communication and intimacy. The work is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable for the person in front of him. Gary often helps people talk through feelings of abandonment, shame, guilt and isolation.
He also supports those coping with separation, commitment worries, fatherhood concerns and family communication problems. When addiction is part of the picture he helps clients examine behaviour and build realistic strategies to reduce harm. People can expect clear aims and regular check-ins about progress.
Gary encourages honest conversation about what is working and what needs to change, so the plan stays relevant to daily life.

Approaches Gary lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
He also uses elements of relationship-focused methods when couples or intimacy issues arise, drawing on communication and repair techniques to address conflict and rebuild trust. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - the therapist and client discuss what feels most useful, try methods in session, and adjust the plan together based on progress and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who find writing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, childcare or daily life while keeping the focus on practical change and ongoing support.
