​

Hi, I'm Gary, and as a UKCP Accredited Integrative Psychotherapist with over 10 years experience of Counselling & Psychotherapy with Adults and Young People, my primary goal is to provide you with a space that feels safe and comfortable so that you feel able to fully and freely explore the things that may be troubling you.

 

Looking at it in more detail, I aim to promote healing and facilitate wholeness to ensure that all levels of a person's being and functioning (mental, physical and emotional health) are maximised to their full potential.

​

I do this by helping you explore the self and identify the factors in your life that are perpetuating and/or causing current concerns. The sessions are centred on the active exploration of experience – a phenomenological view of reality.

​

I aim to help you face each moment openly and authentically without having a pre formed attitude, opinion or expectation. This allows you to better focus on the hurts and fears that may limit your psychological freedom, and can help to recognise specific triggers that may be causing unhelpful patterns of behaviour.

Through this awareness, if you're willing, I hope to create a healthy alliance between mind and body – empowering you to start setting goals and practising new behaviours that will enable you to move beyond  limitations and discover greater life satisfaction.

​

I see my attitude and presence in the session as crucial to creating a safe, and non-judgemental space for you to explore your life and yourself with my role as an engaging and attentive listener.

​

If it is useful to state it as such, my approach to therapy can be tailored to meet a variety of needs and concerns such as:

​

• Abortion

• Abuse

• Addiction(s)

• Affairs and betrayals

• Anxiety

• Bereavement

• Bullying

• Child related issues

• Depression

• Family issues

• Fears

• Loss

• Low self-confidence

• Low self-esteem

• Pregnancy and birth

• Redundancy

• Relationship issues

• Self-harm

• Stress

• Work-related Stress

​

But I do not impose labels on you, as they are not always helpful. I prefer to meet you with an open mind, and focus on the issues as you see it, using descriptions that feel most comfortable to you.
