About Gary
Gary Rowntree offers straightforward, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship tensions, family conflict or the effects of trauma and abuse. He aims to make the first step easier by listening without judgement and helping people find clearer ways forward. He uses a client-centred approach, which means sessions focus on the individual's experience and pace.
Conversations start with what matters most to the person and move at a tempo that feels manageable.
Background and approach
The overall aim is to make space to talk through feelings and notice what changes feel possible. Gary has four years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. He draws on humanistic ideas to keep sessions personable and grounded, adapting his style to each person's needs.
That can mean calm, empathic listening or more active techniques when helpful. Sessions are practical and straightforward. People can expect to explore current problems, try different ways of responding, and reflect on what helps between meetings.
Gary works to create a non-judgemental environment where small changes are noticed and built on. He offers work by conversation and gentle interventions rather than quick fixes. This approach suits people who want a collaborative space to untangle difficult feelings and rebuild a sense of control over everyday life.

Online support
Gary also draws on humanistic ideas to make sessions feel warm and personal. That can mean staying with empathic listening for several sessions or gently introducing more active ways of noticing patterns when it seems helpful. Deciding which route to take is a shared process - the therapist will work with the person to agree on aims, methods and what feels manageable each week.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which offer different practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer typing to speaking or want flexible, ongoing contact between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and daily life.
