About Gary
Gary Mewes is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to support people through stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, and depression. He works in the United Kingdom and communicates in English. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
He focuses on creating an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about painful experiences. Sessions aim to help people make sense of feelings linked to abandonment, attachment difficulties, guilt, shame and isolation. He also helps with practical relationship concerns such as communication problems, infidelity and commitment worries.
Gary combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques and relationship-focused approaches. That can mean listening deeply first, then working on small changes in thinking and behaviour. For couples concerns he draws on methods that look at interaction patterns and rebuild connection over time.
Over seven years of practice, he has supported people facing issues including caregiver stress, fatherhood challenges, control problems, and the fallout of separation or divorce. He has specific experience addressing sex and porn addictions and the effects these have on intimacy and daily life.
People who come to him can expect a collaborative way of working. He offers straightforward conversation, practical tools and regular reviews of progress. To begin, clients use the site process to match with him and arrange sessions according to his schedule.
How client-centred and behavioural work translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the persons experience and on the therapeutic relationship. The counsellor listens carefully, reflects what is said and helps people feel understood. This approach is often helpful for issues rooted in attachment, abandonment and feelings of emptiness.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It often involves practical exercises, short tasks between sessions and experimenting with small changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression and addictive behaviours when people want clear steps to try.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss a persons aims and preferences and together they will choose a path that fits those goals. That collaborative process helps make sessions feel relevant and focused.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow more flexibility in scheduling. It can also let people choose sessions that match their energy - for example a shorter check-in or a longer review - without needing to be away from other commitments.
