About Gavin
Drawing on extensive experience working within LGBTQ+ communities and his own lived experience, he understands the distinct pressures that can arise from stigma, shame, addiction, and the complexities of intimacy and connection. His practice blends a range of techniques, including cognitive behavioral methods, transactional analysis, and mindfulness, while keeping the person-centred relationship as the guiding framework so that therapy progresses at the client's pace and in line with their priorities.
Gavin holds the BACP credential - the professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom - a foundation degree in counselling, a diploma in Gender, Sex and Relationship Diversity Therapy, and additional qualifications in trauma work. He aims to help people build self-acceptance, resilience, and lasting change that aligns with their values and lived experience.

Client-centred and Mindfulness Approaches for Online Support
Client-centred therapy focuses on creating a trusting, empathetic relationship where the client leads the pace and topics of work; it is particularly helpful for issues around identity, self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and processing life changes. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple, present-moment awareness skills that can reduce reactivity and support coping with anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm. Together these approaches offer practical ways to build self-acceptance and resilience while respecting each person's lived experience.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey, and Gavin works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques from both client-centred and mindfulness traditions so that therapy reflects the client’s values and pace rather than following a fixed protocol.
Online therapy with Gavin is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility in how people access support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, to attend from home or another comfortable setting, and to choose the communication style that feels most manageable while working with registered professionals and therapists to address the issues that matter most.
