Gareth Young

Gareth Young offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling alone, overwhelmed or stuck. He helps with worries such as anxiety, depression, stress and low self-esteem. Gareth also works with issues around identity and sexuality and offers an affirmative approach for LGBTQ+ concerns.

Gareth has three years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and holds NCPS. He trained in counselling and completed a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling plus a BA (Hons) in Counselling Solutions. He follows UK therapy guidance and law in his work.

In sessions Gareth adapts his approach to each person. He uses conversation to understand what matters most and then focuses on practical next steps. That might mean looking at the stories a person tells about themselves, finding small achievable goals, or paying attention to internal parts of experience.

People can expect a non-judgemental space where they are listened to and respected. Gareth aims to be warm and encouraging while keeping things straightforward. He invites clients to set the pace and lead the topics that matter to them.

Over time he helps people notice patterns, try different ways of coping, and rebuild connection to what they value. Gareth often supports those navigating life changes, relationship strain, workplace stress, grief and the particular strains of isolation and loneliness.

Approaches and finding the right fit online

Gareth commonly draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Narrative Therapy in his work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can explore feelings at their own pace; it helps when someone needs a supportive, non-judgemental space. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps create alternative stories that better match their values and goals; this can be useful for issues like identity, isolation and self-esteem.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Gareth will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. He encourages clients to give feedback so the approach can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to connect from different locations. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed and can reduce travel time, making it simpler to keep regular sessions while juggling work, study or family commitments.
