About Gary
Gary Mewes is a counsellor who focuses on practical, person-centred work. He uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside cognitive and relationship-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions and relationship difficulties. He holds BACP membership and works from the United Kingdom.
Gary aims to make sessions straightforward and down to earth. He creates space for people to talk about things like depression, intimacy problems and loneliness. He listens for what matters most and helps people notice what they can change in daily life.
In the background he blends talking therapy with tools from cognitive behavioural approaches. That can mean looking at patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going, and trying small experiments to test different ways of coping. He also draws on relationship methods to help couples explore communication and trust over time.
He has seven years of experience and has worked with issues including attachment and abandonment concerns, commitment and control problems, fatherhood and caregiver stress, and the fallout from infidelity or separation. Gary also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, emptiness and isolation.
People who come for work and wellbeing concerns will find a practical collaborator. Sessions aim to be clear and focused on the client’s goals, whether that means reducing anxiety, managing addictive urges, or improving everyday connection with a partner.
How Gary’s approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience. The therapist listens closely and reflects what matters to the client, helping them find their own solutions. This approach is useful for emotional struggles such as low mood, emptiness and shame.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thinking and try new coping strategies, which can help with anxiety, stress and addictive patterns.
The choice of approach often happens together. Gary will discuss goals and preferences and suggest ways forward that match those aims. That collaborative process helps shape whether sessions focus more on relationship skills, thought patterns or emotional exploration.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as current options are not listed here. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and make it simpler to attend from work breaks or home. Different session arrangements can also make it easier to have a shorter check-in or to use audio rather than video when that suits the person’s needs.
