Background and approach
Gareth has three years of professional experience working under UK therapy guidelines and laws. Sessions tend to be practical and personal. Gareth adapts his methods to fit each person’s needs rather than following one fixed style.
He draws on client-centred principles to follow the person’s lead and on solution-focused ideas to break issues into manageable steps. He often works with people facing relationship strain, grief, self-esteem difficulties and challenges linked to sexuality and gender. Gareth also supports those dealing with addictions, workplace stress, anger and the fallout from trauma or abuse.
He offers understanding for people managing life transitions and for those struggling with loneliness and isolation. Gareth describes himself as an affirmative counsellor for LGBTQ people and says he helps people explore identity without judgement. He aims to make the first step into counselling less daunting by offering calm, practical support and encouragement.

Online support
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small practical steps and quick changes. Sessions target achievable goals and build on past successes to make forward progress with problems such as stress, workplace issues or coping with life changes.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Gareth will discuss goals and preferences early on and adapt methods as things change. This is a collaborative process where the person and counsellor try things and adjust based on what helps most.
Online therapy allows flexible ways to connect. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone sessions suit quieter bandwidth or shorter check-ins, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit between commitments or for ongoing reflection. These options help people fit counselling around work, study and family life while keeping treatment consistent.
