About Gary
Gary Mewes is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with seven years of practice experience. He works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and depression. He also focuses on attachment and abandonment issues and problems that affect close relationships.
Gary draws on straightforward, practical approaches in sessions. He uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to the person in front of him. He uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help identify stressful thinking patterns and try small, manageable experiments to change them.
When relationship issues are present he uses elements of the Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy to look at communication, trust and recurring conflict patterns. Those methods are used to help people talk about painful topics and practise clearer ways of relating to partners.
Sessions focus on what is causing strain now and on steps that can reduce its impact. Gary often works on communication skills, coping strategies for anxiety and practical routines to lessen cravings or compulsive behaviours. He also explores feelings like shame, guilt or emptiness when these come up.
He works in English and provides services from the United Kingdom. The site uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How Gary’s approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the person’s concerns back in a straightforward way, which helps people speak about anxiety, loneliness or relationship pain. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and introduces small experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting. The Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy are used when relationship issues come up; they offer practical communication exercises and ways to reduce repeated conflict.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which approaches to try first. That collaborative process means methods can change as needs and priorities become clearer.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to maintain continuity between meetings and to practise communication skills in real time, but check which formats this therapist offers before you schedule.
