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.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
