About Gary
Gary Mewes is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses a client-centred way of working. He brings seven years of experience supporting people through issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship strain and addictions. Gary aims to make sessions straightforward and approachable so people can start talking about what matters most to them.
He creates a calm space where people can talk without judgement. Sessions focus on listening first, then finding practical steps that fit the person’s life.
Background and approach
He draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect, and uses relationship approaches when conversations touch on intimacy and partnership. Gary has experience helping people facing loneliness, guilt and shame, and problems with communication or commitment. He also works with concerns linked to abandonment, attachment patterns and fatherhood issues.
This range means he often combines ideas from different approaches to match each person’s needs. Clients can expect clear, plain-language conversation and practical suggestions to try between sessions. Gary supports people in deciding which issues to tackle first and sets goals together.
He explains methods and invites feedback so therapy stays useful and relevant. Sessions are delivered in English and use a mix of video, phone, chat or text-based messaging. Gary follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy code of practice, and presents his BACP credential as part of his professional details.

Approaches Gary lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gary will talk through goals and preferences and recommend which methods to use, then review progress as therapy continues. That collaborative process means the plan can change if something isn’t working or new priorities arise.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video works well for a full conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging can suit people who prefer to type, want brief daily support, or need to fit sessions around work or family routines. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting into everyday life.
