Gary Humphreys

Now that you are exploring this site you might be considering if and how counselling can help you. Research informs us that it does. By allowing yourself a safe place where someone carefully listens and supports you; you can feel heard, safe and understood. I work with clients on a wide range of issues including: anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, domestic abuse, anger management, loss and bereavement, trauma, abuse, self-confidence, addiction and substance abuse recovery as well as life and professional transitioning.

I have a friendly and relaxed way of working; a confidential place where you can experience being valued and validated. I help you to explore and make sense of your thoughts, feelings and experiences. As well as supporting you with difficult decisions, I also help you to develop a more compassionate and coherent relationship with yourself and others.

My approach is based on the philosophy that we are moulded by our unique make up and life experiences; I work carefully to adapt my approach to your individual needs. My training as an integrative therapist allows me to draw down and share with you the most appropriate therapy models to match your specific requirements and enable lasting relief and change.

I am a registered member of BACP (British Association of counselling and psychotherapy) and work to a high standard of ethical and professional standard. I am committed to facilitating you to find your own answers through:

• Placing your needs at the centre of our work

• Promoting your wellbeing and autonomy

• Honesty and openness

• Treating you with respect, dignity, understanding, and compassion

• Protecting your confidentiality and the boundaries between counselling and your life

• Reviewing our work together and progress with whatever you are working on

• Building a trusting relationship through the above

I offer a free 30 minute, Zoom or face to face, first consultation.
