About Gary
Gary Mewes uses a person-centred approach to help people feel heard and understood. He combines that with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to tackle issues like stress, anxiety and depression. Gary’s profile notes a focus on relationships and intimacy-related concerns, and he works with people facing addictions and related struggles. He is identified with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Gary aims to make sessions straightforward and down to earth. He invites clients to talk about what matters most to them and to set clear goals for therapy. Conversations focus on day-to-day patterns, unhelpful thinking, relationship difficulties and behaviours that get in the way of a better life.
His background includes work supporting adults and couples with grief, sexual and porn addictions, and relationship strains. He is an associate member of the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists, COSRT, in relation to his work with addictions. That experience informs his practical approach to intimacy and communication problems.
Sessions are intended to be a collaborative process. Gary helps people identify small changes they can try between meetings and checks progress together. He encourages honesty, curiosity and steady steps toward improved wellbeing.
Gary works from the United Kingdom and conducts therapy in English. He has seven years of experience and follows the BACP code of ethical practice in his work.
How these approaches work for online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and making space for clients to tell their story. It aims to help people feel understood and to build their own solutions, which can be especially useful for issues like isolation, shame and relationship worries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical exercises and short-term strategies to reduce anxiety, tackle low mood and change patterns that maintain stress or addiction behaviours.
Gary also uses relationship approaches such as the Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy to help couples and partners improve communication and repair connection when intimacy or trust has been damaged.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work with each person to agree what fits best with their goals and preferences. That collaborative process may mean combining listening-based work with practical CBT tasks or relationship-focused exercises over time.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm current session formats before booking. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support work on thinking patterns, coping strategies and relationship skills from wherever you are able to join.
