About Gary

Gary Mewes is a counsellor who uses a mixture of person-centred and practical therapy styles to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship challenges. He works with adults on issues such as addictions, intimacy concerns and problems with connection. Gary follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy code of practice and brings seven years of experience to his work.

In sessions he aims for a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk openly about what is hard.

Background and approach

He listens for patterns in thoughts and feelings, and helps people try small, manageable changes. Sessions are grounded and straightforward rather than full of jargon. Gary also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and make practical changes.

For relationship work he uses ideas from the Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy to improve communication and rebuild trust. He explains techniques clearly and practises them together with the person or couple. Typical concerns he helps with include abandonment fears, attachment struggles, commitment worries, communication problems and issues around intimacy or infidelity.

He also supports people facing guilt, shame, feelings of emptiness and isolation. The focus is on what is happening now and steps that feel doable. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by a mix of video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions by scheduling with him.

Ways of working Gary names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Using relationship and practical therapies online

Gary combines Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping a person find their own solutions. It suits people who need space to talk and feel understood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers straightforward tools to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and addictive behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gary will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then test ways of working together. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can change as progress is made or needs shift.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when needed. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging support between-session contact and can fit into busy days. These options offer flexibility for different routines and make it simpler to keep continuity of care across distance.
