About Gary
Gary Rowntree offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship tensions, or low mood. He introduces a gentle, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through difficult feelings and begin to make small changes. Gary uses everyday language and plain questions to help people feel heard and understood.
He works in a humanistic, client-centred way, placing the person's experience at the heart of sessions. That means listening closely, reflecting back what is said, and helping clients notice their own resources and choices.
Background and approach
Over time this can help people make clearer decisions about relationships and everyday pressures. Gary has four years of professional experience and is a BACP member. He has worked with people affected by trauma and abuse and supports those managing anger alongside depression and anxiety.
His background emphasises practical conversation rather than technical jargon. Sessions are adapted to each person's needs, moving between warm, empathic listening and more active interventions when helpful. Gary aims to keep sessions simple and focused, so progress can be noticed week to week.
He encourages people who are nervous about starting therapy to take the first step. The initial work focuses on building trust and setting realistic goals that feel manageable. Gary is based in the United Kingdom and offers appointments in English.

Online support
He also draws on humanistic principles, adapting the pace and style to each person. That can mean quiet, empathic listening during some sessions, and more active conversational techniques in others to help untangle difficult feelings. This combination aims to make therapy feel collaborative and tailored to individual goals.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Gary will discuss different approaches with the client and decide together what fits best based on needs, goals and preferences. The choice of method can change as progress is made, with the therapist and client reviewing what helps most.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be good for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make counselling more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
