About Gary

Gary Rowntree offers a calm, approachable presence for people worried about stress, anxiety, relationships, family conflict, trauma and depression. He writes plainly and listens without judgement, helping clients talk through what feels hard. Gary's style aims to make early steps feel manageable and respectful.

He has four years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Gary describes himself as a Humanistic Integrative counsellor who adapts the way he works to suit each person.

Background and approach

That can mean quiet, empathic listening or more active techniques when they help. Sessions centre on the client and what they want to change. Conversations look at feelings, patterns and practical next steps.

Gary focuses on helping people name their experience so they can choose different responses. People struggling with relationship strain or family tension can bring specific situations to work through. He also supports those coping with trauma, abuse, anger or low mood, helping them regain a sense of control and clearer thinking.

Gary offers a straightforward, down-to-earth approach rather than complex jargon. He encourages small experiments between sessions to try new ways of relating and coping. The aim is steady progress that fits each person's life and pace.

Sessions & fees

Client-centred care delivered online

Gary uses client-centred principles to place the person's experience at the heart of each session. That means listening closely, reflecting feelings and following what matters most to the client so conversations feel relevant and clear. This approach helps with anxiety, low mood and relational issues by making space to understand what people are feeling and needing.

As a Humanistic Integrative counsellor he adapts methods to match what a client needs in the moment. That might be gentle, empathic listening or more active interventions to help untangle repeated patterns. Working together, therapist and client choose ways forward that fit the client's goals and comfort level.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when visual connection helps. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer typing or want ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on progress and practical steps.
