About Gary

Gary Ferry is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. He also helps with self-esteem, motivation, grief and coping with life changes. Gary has four years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

He aims to create an open space where people can talk without fear of judgment. Sessions focus on understanding what feels hard right now and finding practical steps to make things feel more manageable.

Background and approach

Conversations are straightforward and geared towards what matters to the person in front of him. Gary uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. He listens for patterns in thinking, feeling and behaviour and works with clients to build new ways of responding.

This can include practical tools for handling stress, sleep problems or addictive impulses. His approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. He encourages small experiments between sessions to test what helps and what does not.

Progress is measured by concrete changes in daily life rather than only by talking about the past. Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging, which offers different ways to engage depending on need. Gary works in English and accepts international clients.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book sessions to fit around their schedules.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Gary uses practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on thinking, feeling and behaviour. One common approach helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of thinking and acting; this is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Another approach concentrates on skills and tasks - such as sleep routines, coping plans for cravings, or step-by-step ways to manage anger - which can bring quick, practical relief.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gary will discuss the options with each person and together they will choose methods that match the individual’s goals and circumstances. He treats the process as a collaboration and adjusts techniques as progress is observed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone calls can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to schedule work around daily life and access help from different locations.
