More about Gary
- 6 years' experience

- NCPS
I am a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor, and hypnotherapist, established for 6 years in the UK, with a degree in Psychology and Communications. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self esteem, and confidence together with a wide range of other issues that may be preventing you from being the person you truly want to be.
I work with my clients to create a warm and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Having an integrative approach I am able to combine different elements of counselling such as REBT, CBT, existential and psychodynamic modalities tailored to fit your individual needs.
We all possess the inner resources to heal and grow and I can help you to remove the obstacles preventing you from living your best life, helping you understand the negative issues and emotions that may have held you back.
Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Gary is a nice warm person who listened everything you have to say and after that is starting rebuild you
Gary is my only experience of therapy. I have worked with Gary for 3 months now and have found him a wonderful help, a knowledgable and wise therapist but ultimately a lovely man. He is reliable and detailed, remembering not only my life's details and events,, but also people in my life and how I relate to them. I look forward to our talks, knowing they will be beneficial to me.
Gary is extremely qualified and has proven to work above and beyond to support me personally. He understands all my issues and helps me process reflect and then react. I would be lost without his expertise and i can not thank him enough for all the steps and teachings i have learned.
Gary is kind and calm and wise! He is a great listener, asks perceptive questions, and provides constructive feedback and advice:

Gary is great! He has a good perspective on things, and knows how to share this. He helps me understand how i operate. Gary has had a big influence on my recovery
Gary's experience and approach is great for what I'm here for. He listen carefully, provide support and guidance when needed. Worksheets accompany his approach which works really well for the way I operate. Highly recommended.
Gary listens, analyses, and empowers me to reach my goals through manageable and feasible steps and coping mechanisms. He is just the right amount of funny and is super professional. Would definitely recommend!
Wise gentleman with a pragmatic and practical approach that helped me a lot in surpassing personal challenges and setting clear goals for personal development.
Gary is a great listener, he breaks my problems apart and helps me work through them. He is very reliable!
Gary has helped me to tackle my emotions in several situations, giving me good tips and advises. Whenever I felt bad and sent him a message, he responded quickly and gave me some pointers and good words
My therapist is an excellent listener and communicator. He made it easy for me to explain my struggles and he provided solutions and ways to improve. The methods provided by my therapist have been very helpful. I started noticing improvement immediately. He is good at what he does!
Gary is a friendly, warm naturally empathetic therapist. He listens when is required and is also not afraid to speak up and give feedback when he feels necessary. Therapy with Gary, for me, has very much been a two way street with give and take from both myself and Gary and not just someone who ‘listens to your problems and is understanding’ - although of course that has its benefits at times. It has helped me gain invaluable perspective on things that I couldn’t access on my own. I think that has been the main benefit of my time with Gary has been getting his feedback in combination with some really useful exercises for putting into practice different strategies for better assertiveness, dealing with anxiety and more. He also has a great sense of humour which really helped me open up. Couldn’t reccomend him highly enough. Thank you Gary!
Gary is professional and an empathic and highly experienced therapist who displays great empathy and understanding for his clients. I would highly recommend Gary to anyone seeking assistance with mental health.
Although it is still early days (it has only been three weeks since I started therapy with Gary), my progress is undeniable and I’m eager to explore more of my inner road map that has led me to this point in my life. Gary is very empathetic and supportive. One of his greatest traits for me is his professional ability to distill the essence of my communication with him into an acceptance of even my darkest thoughts about my own persona. Who would have thought that my selfishness might be more common in all my human fellows than I presumed? I highly recommend Gary as your future therapist.
Excellent therapist, feeling supported
Listens very well and gives good advice. Asks good questions that allow me to open up easily. Creates a safe space to talk and allowed my first experience with therapy to be amazing
I have a good rapport with Gary. English isn't my mother language, so communication on my side is sometimes a bit difficult, but he is patient and an active participant in managing this barrier. He is flexible in his methods and listens to what I need.
Gray has helped be develop some new coping methods to minimise anxiety and stress. He has been great at helping me look at things from a different perspective and therefore address issues in a better way. The wisdom I have gained thus far I trust will help me overcome all future challenges and has made me feel a much more capable and strong person.
Gary has been there for me, he has given me a lot of good advises and mostly has listened to my problems, I've overcome a lot of sadness and hopelessness thanks to Gary and the tools that BetterHelp has given me
Gary is an empathic and outstanding therapist. He understands the complexities of the human condition and uses positive affirmations and strategies to encourage his clients to remain focused while they undergo their journey of healing and self improvement. Gary is caring, supportive and kind.
Gary has helped and guided me immensely to better becoming a more rounded and positive person
Gary is very helpful and supportive, always helping me to find new ways to address topics and positive change
