About Gareth

Gareth Young is a UK-based counsellor with three years of professional experience who works within the country’s therapy guidelines. He supports people facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, addiction, and issues related to sexuality and gender. As an affirmative therapist, Gareth has a particular focus on supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community through questions of sexual and gender identity, and he offers empathetic, non-judgmental support throughout that process.

Practicing in an integrative way, Gareth adapts his approach to meet each person’s unique needs rather than applying a single method to every situation. He creates a welcoming space for exploring thoughts, feelings and experiences and aims to walk alongside clients as they set the pace and direction of therapy. Gareth presents as caring and encouraging, with attention to helping people regain a sense of wellbeing after difficult life events.

Gareth holds the NCPS credential, a recognised professional counselling qualification, and he has completed a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling as well as a BA Hons Degree in Counselling Solutions. He accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally, offering a supportive route to therapy for individuals seeking change and growth.

Therapeutic Approaches Gareth Uses Online

Gareth works online using approaches that respect each person’s story and strengths. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers support and reflection - this is helpful for people seeking to build self-esteem, process emotions, or work through identity questions. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe and make sense of their life stories by exploring the meanings attached to events and relationships - it can be useful for grief, trauma, and shifting unhelpful self-narratives. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people explore their readiness for change and strengthen their own motivation - it suits challenges such as addictions, behavioral changes, or ambivalence about next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gareth approaches therapy collaboratively, discussing options with each person and adjusting methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences so that the plan fits the individual rather than the other way around.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows for flexibility around work, family, and location. These options make it easier to attend regularly, access support from wherever the client is, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for ongoing therapeutic work.
