I am credentialed in the UK and I work under the UK's therapy guidelines and laws with 3 years of professional work experience. I have experience working with clients with a range of presenting issues including Anxiety, Depression, low self-esteem, and stress to name a few. As a proud LGBTQ therapist my passion is working with the LGBTQ+ community including struggles with gender or sexual identity. I am an affirmative therapist and can support you on your journey with empathy and understanding. As an integrative therapist I will tailor our sessions to meet your unique and specific needs. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences. I will walk by your side as you lead the way on your journey to find your rainbow again, no matter how big the storm may have been. Taking that first step to counselling can be tough and daunting. Here you will be met with care, support and encouragement to be wholeheartedly you.
I am a qualified integrative counsellor, holding both a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and BA Hons Degree in Counselling Solutions.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Gareth was great. Listened to me, got to know me & hugely helped manage my stress. Would recommend hugely!
Gareth is very professional, compassionate and patient. He listens with interest and he makes think in order to realise where my assumptions and attitudes come from. He really wants to help and he cares.
Gareths expertise is very much in the walking in your shoes for however many miles you want him to and carefully analysing both from a first person and wider perspectives to give you constructive, useful and complete clarity of your problems. I have had a wonderful time with Gareth as my therapist he has managed to understand and be on the same wavelength and made me look forward to each session, his wonderful personality is a nice touch as well.
Gareth has been incredibly kind, caring, and helpful as I transition from male to female. He has helped me untangle the knots in my thinking and process a very complex situation I couldn't handle alone. If you need support, then I can't recommend Gareth more. Thank you for all your support, Gareth!
Very supportive and easy to talk to. Helps Mr reflect on what I'm going through
I can strongly recommend Gareth I've never done counselling before and he's really helped me in my path towards healing
Gareth is very nice, listens carefully to what I say and understand well what I am going through. I find his sessions very helpful and I feel better after them
