About Gareth

Gareth Young helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem and issues linked to identity and relationships. He works with clients who are experiencing grief, addiction, anger, workplace strain or life changes. Gareth describes himself as an affirmative counsellor for LGBT people and supports those exploring sexual or gender identity.

Gareth holds a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a BA Honours degree in Counselling Solutions, and is registered with NCPS. He has three years of professional experience working under UK counselling guidelines.

In sessions he uses an integrative style and draws on approaches such as Client-Centred Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused work. He listens to what matters to the client and uses those methods to define practical steps and conversation routes together.

Gareth often helps clients identify patterns in how they talk about themselves and their relationships. He uses Motivational Interviewing techniques to support change where clients feel stuck. Internal Family Systems ideas are used when it helps to name different parts of someone’s experience.

Sessions focus on clear, manageable goals and on small practical changes as well as exploring feelings. People can expect straightforward discussion of options, short-term strategies for coping, and space to reflect on identity and difficult experiences.

How Gareth uses different approaches in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective and aims to make space for honest talk; it suits issues like low self-esteem, identity and relationship concerns. Narrative Therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and find alternative narratives for grief, trauma or life change. Solution-Focused work concentrates on small, practical steps and concrete goals, which can help with stress, workplace problems and short-term coping.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the process. Gareth will work with the client to identify goals, try approaches and adjust them based on what helps. That collaborative approach means methods can shift as needs and preferences become clearer.

The biography does not specify session formats here, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online counselling often helps people fit sessions into busy schedules, reduces travel time and can make it easier to join from different locations. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed or sessions that do not require being on camera, depending on the format offered. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their techniques to work effectively in online settings.
