Gary Mewes

Gary Mewes is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people find clearer ways forward. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings seven years of experience to his practice. Gary aims to make sessions straightforward and approachable for people feeling stuck, isolated, or overwhelmed.

He listens first and follows the person's lead, helping them say what matters most. Gary also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try small, practical changes between sessions. For relationship concerns he uses elements of the Gottman Method and Imago work to improve communication and connection.

His background includes supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression and addictions, alongside intimacy-related problems and relationship strains. He also works with issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, commitment worries and loneliness. Gary offers a calm space to talk through guilt, shame, family tensions and separation stresses.

Sessions focus on what the individual wants to change. That might be managing anxious thoughts, repairing trust after infidelity, or finding ways to feel less empty or alone. He encourages clear goals and regular review so progress is visible.

People describing parenting or fatherhood concerns can bring those topics into sessions, as can those coping with caregiver stress or grief. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange appointments that suit them.

How Gary’s approaches work in online therapy

Gary uses client-centred work to create a supportive space where the person leads the conversation. This approach focuses on listening and reflecting so people can clarify their own goals and feel understood. It helps with issues like loneliness, emptiness and self-doubt.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thinking patterns that keep problems going and to try small experiments between sessions. CBT is practical and helps with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits by breaking things into manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gary will discuss which methods fit your needs and adjust over time based on how you respond. He aims to agree shared goals and review progress together so the work stays relevant and useful.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who want focused work on thinking patterns, relationship skills or managing isolation without rearranging large parts of daily life.
