Gary Mewes
Relational and practical counselling for adults
About Gary
Gary Mewes is a counsellor who uses a client-centred way of working. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationships and intimacy-related difficulties. Gary holds BACP and brings seven years of practice in the United Kingdom to his work.
He keeps sessions straightforward and grounded. People are invited to talk about what feels hard and to set practical goals. Gary listens for patterns in relationships and behaviour, and he helps people test small changes that can reduce anxiety or addictive behaviours.
Background and approach
When relationships are the focus, he draws on methods aimed at improving communication and connection. He helps people talk about commitment, infidelity, intimacy and the weight of past attachment wounds. He also supports those affected by separation, fatherhood challenges, caregiving stress and family tensions.
Gary blends client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural ideas to address unhelpful thoughts and actions. He uses relationship-based tools like the Gottman Method and Imago ideas where appropriate. This mix aims to make conversations more practical and relevant to everyday life.
Sessions may cover guilt, shame, abandonment, emptiness and feelings of isolation. He notices how control issues, avoidant personality patterns or poor communication keep problems stuck. Together with each person, Gary sets simple steps to try between meetings.
His approach is down-to-earth and collaborative. He respects the pace each person needs and helps people find manageable ways to feel steadier and more connected.

How relational and cognitive methods work online
Gary commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy which focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for building trust and talking through feelings like shame, guilt or loneliness.He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. CBT offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage addictive urges and change unhelpful routines.
Choosing the right way of working is a shared process. Gary will discuss goals, preferences and life demands, then suggest which methods to try. He adapts the approach as sessions progress so the work stays relevant and collaborative.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people use visual cues when discussing relationship issues and patterns. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer to write, want brief daily support or need flexibility around work and caregiving. Registered or accredited professionals can provide consistent support across these formats, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
