Gary Mewes, BACP

Gary Mewes offers a practical, person-focused approach to therapy. He uses what people bring into the room as the starting point and helps them make sense of difficult feelings. Gary aims for clear conversations and simple tools people can use between sessions.

He works with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression and addictions. Relationship and intimacy-related concerns are also a focus, including communication problems, commitment worries and infidelity. Gary also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment difficulties, feelings of emptiness and the strain of caregiving.

Gary follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy code of practice and holds the BACP credential. He has seven years of experience working in the United Kingdom and draws on both individual and relational methods. His background includes work with people facing loss, grief and sexual or porn-related addictions.

In sessions he aims to create an open space for honest conversation without judgement. He combines listening with practical techniques so people can try new ways of coping between meetings. The overall aim is to help people feel more able to manage daily pressures and to improve closeness and communication where relationships are strained.

To start, Gary invites people to say what matters most to them and to set realistic short-term goals. He treats the therapeutic process as a collaboration where small changes build toward clearer thinking and better relationships.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a helpful relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps people make sense of their feelings, which can be especially useful for stress and feelings of emptiness.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works with thoughts and behaviours. It uses practical exercises and short tools people can practise between sessions to reduce anxiety and manage low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gary will discuss clients' needs, goals and preferences and then recommend whether client-centred listening, CBT techniques or relationship-focused methods are most useful. This decision is collaborative and may change as people progress.

Online therapy can help fit sessions into a busy life and make it easier to keep up with regular meetings. It may allow shorter check-ins around work breaks or reduce travel time. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt therapeutic approaches so the work continues effectively when done remotely.
