psychotherapy

a personal & holistic approach

My aim within sessions is to hold a warm and accepting space for you to explore and unravel the deeper workings of your self, in what can at times be a challenging and emotional ride.

Having qualified and trained in many disciplines including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), Hypnotherapy, and Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT), I am able to bring many tools and techniques that work alongside years of knowledge and wisdom gained through helping hundreds of people to live more fulfilling lives.

Here's some more detail on the two main elements that sit at the core of my approach, CBT and ACT...

Cognitive behavioural therapy

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy that helps identify and modify negative patterns of thinking and behaviour that contribute to mental health problems, such as PTSD, Anxiety and Depression. CBT is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are interconnected and can influence each other, as well as the system as a whole. 

acceptance & commitment therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another form of psychotherapy that aims to develop psychological flexibility through the acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings, rather than trying to eliminate them, whilst also encouraging a commitment to taking action towards personal values and goals. ACT is based on the idea that struggling to control or avoid difficult internal experiences can lead to further suffering, and that focusing on taking action towards meaningful goals enhances well-being

1:1 psychotherapy

this is for you if..

You’re struggling day to day, and maybe experiencing regular bouts anxiety, stress, depression or even PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).

You feel like you're on a hamster wheel, rolling around in the same old thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and you can't find a way out.

You’re looking to find your balance and ways of coping with life, as well as managing your thoughts and emotions better.

You’re open to making links between your past and your present, and you’re ready to put in the work that will help you to cultivate a more present, accepting and flexible mindset.

what to expect...

We will draw theory, knowledge, tools and techniques from both CBT and ACT, as well as other approaches to create a personalized plan that's right for you at this time.

Our first steps will be in developing awareness around what’s going on for you at a deeper level, and connecting the dots between your past and your present so we can see a detailed picture of your current reality.

We’ll set therapeutic goals and create a plan for our work together, aiding you in developing a stronger and more flexible mindset alongside new strategies that will help you to thrive, instead of just survive.

A key aim underpinning the process will be in helping you to cultivate increased levels of self-awareness, self-acceptance and courage, as you move towards your value-driven goals.

“Morning Gareth. Just to say thank you so much for your help and support over the last few months. With your help and encouragement I am now able to overcome my fears... Your skills and techniques have helped me regain my confidence and just wanted to say a big thank you.”

Christine

South East, U.K.
"I just wanted to write and thank you for your help, because it was your spirit and words that I have been carrying with me which have really helped me to return my mind to a calmer and more aware place. I feel much better knowing I have some tools and the AWARENESS, enabling me to zoom out and see the whole sky, not just being stuck in one cloud. Anyway, thank you, the work you do is so important and I am so grateful for it."

'Gareth, This is just to say a big thank you because you really helped me change my attitude and mindset this challenging year. I have seen noticeable results and I keep pushing myself to become better and free myself from fear and insecurities.”

n.g.

London, U.K.
"I always left the sessions feeling listened to, supported and a bit more empowered as to what to do next. I had loads of little ‘mind hacks’ to get me through issues that I had been finding challenging and by the end I had made the choices needed to move forward... It was really good to talk to Gareth, but he did much more than listen; he held up a torch in the darkness."

"I just want to say a massive thank you, when I look back at how I was a few months ago, I wouldn't of been able to get to where I am without your help. I genuinely mean that! You're incredible at what you do and I am confident in saying that I know you have made a lot of people's minds a better place to be. At all times you made me feel like I was okay, I wasn't an alien and that things aren't as bad as they may seem. I am honestly grateful.”

emma

London, U.K.
"I felt 'not good enough' and that one day I would be found out and I'd lose everything! In nearly every coaching session with Gareth, I was able to gain deep insight into what subconscious beliefs were driving my behaviour that perpetuated my anxiety. Through learning how my brain was wired I was able to slowly change my behaviour. His style of combined coaching and therapy was unlike anything I've experienced before: unique, insightful and most importantly results based! I have now created a far more harmonious and less anxious lifestyle."
