About Gary
Gary Mewes is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. He is a BACP member and brings seven years of experience to work with adults and couples. Gary helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship or intimacy-related issues.
He uses straightforward, talk-based work to help people understand patterns that cause pain. Sessions focus on what matters most to each person, whether that is managing anxiety, repairing trust after infidelity, or coping with feelings of emptiness and guilt. He aims to make conversations easy to follow and practical to use in daily life.
Gary draws on Client-Centred Therapy to create a respectful, non-judgemental space. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try new coping strategies. For relationship work he incorporates elements of the Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy to help partners improve communication and connection.
Common themes he addresses include attachment and abandonment worries, commitment or control issues, fatherhood concerns, caregiver stress, and problems with intimacy or pornography. He also supports people dealing with divorce, loneliness, and family conflict.
When you first contact him, Gary will ask about what you want to change and what has been tried so far. He works with each person to set simple, achievable goals and adjusts the approach as those goals evolve.
How therapy approaches are used in online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to you. It aims to make people feel heard and understood so they can talk through difficult feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and teaches simple exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. Both approaches can help with anxiety, low mood, addictive behaviours and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit your goals and preferences. Sessions begin by discussing your priorities and trying techniques that match those goals, adapting the plan as you progress.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when useful. It also lets couples and partners join from different locations when appropriate. Discuss practical arrangements with the therapist so sessions fit your routine and needs.
