About Gary
Gary Barrell is a psychotherapeutic counsellor and hypnotherapist (NCPS) practising in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. He works mainly with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and depression. He also addresses practical life concerns like sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, anger and career pressure.
He uses an integrative approach that draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Existential ideas, psychodynamic work and hypnotherapy. That mix lets him shift between focusing on present coping skills and looking at deeper patterns from earlier experience. Sessions are conversational and task-focused when needed.
Sessions usually involve talking through current problems, identifying unhelpful thinking or behaviour patterns and trying small experiments or exercises between meetings. Hypnotherapy is offered as an additional way to support change when it suits someone’s goals. He pays attention to how values and life purpose shape choices and motivation.
Gary also lists a range of additional concerns he helps with, including autism and Asperger syndrome related issues, obsessive-compulsive behaviours, panic attacks, phobias, relationship infidelity or separation, and feelings of isolation or shame. These are addressed through the same integrative mix of approaches.
He holds a degree in Psychology and Communications and works with people who want practical tools alongside reflective conversation. To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s matching process and arrange an initial session to discuss goals and next steps.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on open listening and helping people describe what matters to them. It supports emotional expression and helps clarify personal goals and values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic and low mood.Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to support change in habits, motivation or stress responses. It can be offered alongside talking therapies when someone wants that option.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which combination of methods to try and review progress as therapy continues.
The biography 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 week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so the work can continue between meetings.
