More about Gavin

  • 3 years' experience
  • Male
  • BACP

I am a fully qualified Integrative Counsellor with a person-centred approach at the core of my practice. I provide a safe, non-judgmental, and affirming space for individuals, with a special focus on LGBTQ+ clients and those navigating issues related to sexualised drug use, addiction, sexual health, identity, relationships, and mental well-being.

With extensive experience working within LGBTQ+ communities and my own lived experiences, I understand the unique challenges that can arise, including stigma, shame, addiction, and the complexities of intimacy and connection. My approach integrates various therapeutic modalities, including, CBT, TA and mindfulness techniques, to tailor support to each individual's needs. However, my foundation remains person-centred—ensuring that therapy is led by you, at your pace, in a space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered.

My aim is to help you foster self-acceptance, resilience, and meaningful change in a way that aligns with your values and experiences.

I have a foundation degree in counselling and a diploma in Gender, Sexual and Relationship Diversity Therapy

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
