Gary Mewes

Gary Mewes is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. He works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, and depression. Gary also focuses on concerns like abandonment, attachment and commitment issues, and problems around communication and trust.

He uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen and help people make sense of what matters to them. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify thinking patterns that keep problems going. For couples work he uses elements of the Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy to look at interaction patterns and rebuild connection.

Sessions tend to be straightforward and conversational. Gary helps people name the problem, try small practical changes, and notice what shifts. He also supports those managing caregiver stress, fatherhood pressures, isolation and the guilt or shame that can follow relationship breakdown.

Gary follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy code of practice. He is an associate member of COSRT - the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists. These memberships are recorded as part of his professional background in the UK.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used before scheduling a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and session cost varies by location. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not currently accepted.

How Gary’s approaches work for online sessions

Gary uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a conversational space where people can talk through what feels difficult. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting back what is said, and helping clients find their own sense of direction. It suits issues like low mood, isolation and uncertainty about relationships.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify and test the thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. CBT is practical and action-focused, which can help with anxiety, stress and habits linked to addictions. For relationship work he draws on the Gottman Method to map interaction patterns and address recurring conflict.

Choosing the most useful approach is part of the work. Gary will discuss goals and preferences and decide collaboratively which methods to try. That means sessions can shift between listening, skill practice and looking at behaviour patterns as needed.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins where needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques so that practical exercises and communication work translate to a remote setting.
