So far he's been understanding and polite and helpful. I feel completely safe talking to him and can be myself which in turn will help me be more honest and therefore the therapy will be more beneficial

Gareth is great at understanding how past events can relate to current behaviours and allows for a very open dialogue. I would recommend Gareth.

More about Gareth

  • 3 years' experience
  • Male
  • BACP

I am a practicing counsellor who completed a masters in psychodynamic psychotherapy at the university of Essex, along with some shorter courses which cover other areas of mental health such as children's well-being and autism.

During our work together, I will offer you safe space to discuss how you are feeling and I may ask you questions to better understand you. I hope the space I offer you will enable you to open up, understand yourself more and empower you.

I am currently supporting the Road Victim's Trust as a counselling volunteer, where I work with people who may be experiencing grief, trauma, and a number of other interconnecting issues.

Thank you for reading my profile.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
