About Gary

Gary Mewes is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and depression. He works with adults and couples and uses Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy.

Gary offers straightforward, conversational work. He listens to what a person or couple brings and helps them name the problems they want to change. Sessions involve talking through patterns, testing small changes, and practising new ways of relating outside session times.

He has experience supporting people through issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, avoidant personality patterns, caregiver stress, commitment concerns and communication problems. He also works with separation and divorce, fatherhood issues, and challenges around intimacy including infidelity and sexual or porn addictions.

In couples work he uses methods that focus on interactional patterns and improving connection. In individual work he draws on CBT to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours while keeping the person's lived experience central. The approaches aim to make problems clearer and to build practical skills to manage them.

Sessions follow the BACP code of ethical practice. People who choose to start can expect direct discussion about goals and options, and follow-up between sessions when needed.

How his approaches shape remote work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they can find their own solutions. It helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings, attachment concerns or issues like abandonment and shame.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and teaches practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, stress and depression and for tackling addictive behaviours.

The choice of approach is worked out together. The therapist will talk about what feels most useful, try approaches in session and adjust based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

The practical benefits of remote sessions can include fitting appointments around work or family commitments and keeping progress moving when meeting in person is difficult. The biography does not specify which remote formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care and make it easier to attend regular meetings.
