Gary Mewes, BACP

Gary Mewes is a UK-based therapist with 7 years of clinical experience supporting adults and couples through a wide range of emotional and relational concerns. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship difficulties and intimacy-related issues, and also addresses more specific concerns such as abandonment, attachment problems, commitment and control issues, caregiver stress, infidelity, and loneliness. Gary combines empathy with evidence-informed techniques to help clients explore their thoughts, emotions and relationship patterns in a collaborative way.

Holding BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) credentials, Gary follows professional ethical standards while tailoring his work to each person or couple. His practice draws on client-centered principles that prioritize the client’s perspective, cognitive behavioral strategies that build practical coping skills, and relationship-focused methods to strengthen communication and connection. He creates a nonjudgmental space where difficult feelings and experiences can be examined honestly and with care.

Gary emphasizes practical steps and real-world change, working alongside clients to set achievable goals and develop strategies for improved wellbeing and relationships. He encourages those considering therapy to take the first step - reaching out can begin a process of greater clarity, healthier patterns, and more satisfying connections.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Gary uses client-centered therapy to place the individual's experience at the heart of the work - this approach focuses on empathy, active listening and supporting clients to discover their own solutions, which can be helpful for issues like depression, anxiety and identity concerns. He also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought patterns and teach practical skills for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression and addictive behaviours. For couples, Gary draws on the Gottman Method to improve communication, reduce conflict and rebuild intimacy by using research-based exercises and strategies aimed at strengthening relationship skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Gary works collaboratively with each client or couple to choose and adapt methods based on individual needs, goals and preferences, and he regularly reviews progress to ensure the work remains useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat or through text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for people to access consistent support, maintain momentum between sessions and fit therapy into busy lives while working with registered professionals who guide the process.
