Greg Schofield, BACP

Having experienced counselling himself, Greg Schofield brings a personal understanding of the therapeutic journey to his work as a qualified counsellor. His own path through therapy inspired him to train and practice, and he now supports others facing life transitions, relationship challenges, and emotional distress. Greg is a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists - and trained as a Person Centred Counsellor, an approach that places the client at the heart of the work and values empathy and respect.

Greg offers a personal, non-judgemental and empathetic service, tailoring conversations and any agreed plan to each person’s specific needs. He has experience helping people manage stress and anxiety, address low mood and relationship issues, resolve family conflicts, and cope with grief and loss. He works with sensitivity and compassion, and aims to create a space where people can explore themselves without labels or expectation.

Recognising the courage it takes to seek change, Greg focuses on supporting and empowering clients as they take steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life. His practice emphasizes respect, responsive listening, and collaborative planning to meet individual goals.

Client-Centered Care and Flexible Online Sessions

Greg’s practice is grounded in Client-Centered Therapy, an approach that emphasises empathic listening, unconditional positive regard, and supporting clients to find their own insights and solutions. This style of therapy is especially helpful for people navigating relationship difficulties, grief, anxiety, or shifts in self-esteem because it centres the client’s perspective and pace.

He trained as a Person Centred Counsellor, which shares the same core values and focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where individuals feel heard and understood. That way of working helps clients explore difficult emotions and make changes that fit their values and life circumstances.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Greg works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to connect from different locations. Registered professionals can adapt their methods for these formats so that therapy remains effective and accessible for a wide range of clients.
