Hi, I'm Gareth an integrative therapist with 3 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, coping with grief, coping with loss, career difficulties, & depression. I trained with Cruse Bereavment Care and with the homeless charity Depaul before moving into counselling full time.
In my therapy I use person-centered and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques so that we can work together to help you achieve your therapy goals. I tailor my approach to each individual client as all of you are unique and everybody has different needs and requirements.
I have been a client seeking therapy in the past and so I know how daunting making that first step can be, but I am here to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.
I see my job as to get you were you want to be, you will always be in control of how and when the sessions take place, and I will work with you to establish your therapy goals so that we can move forward together in s suppotive and collaborative way.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
