I couldn’t recommend Gareth enough. Previously, I had really struggled to speak openly and honestly to any of my previous therapists about my anxiety because I was so scared of putting my mental health struggles into words. When I came to Gareth I had almost resigned myself to the fact that my anxiety would always be a bad thing which hung over me every day. However, I know today that is far from the truth. Gareth was patient, kind and gentle in guiding me through mindfulness, CBT and EDMR therapy. The biggest learning for me was anxiety is normal, uncertainty is an opportunity and I am so much more than my anxiety. I can’t thank Gareth enough for helping me through my low point to where I am today. Today, I speak about my journey with mental health, advocate for people to not wait as long as I did to find help, and have healthy habits such as mindfulness to help whenever I feel anxious. I just wish I went to Gareth years ago. Thank you, Gareth.

I had the pleasure of having Gareth as my therapist. Gareth was my first exposure to therapy and I went in with hesitation and fear. Gareth’s soft and warm demeanour allowed me to very quickly find comfort in the sessions. He has helped me immensely in understanding myself and building compassion and empathy for myself.

Even after moving away from the UK, when I eventually felt that I needed to return to therapy again, I still sought Gareth despite having to do the sessions online and in a different time zone. Today, I still reference the techniques that Gareth taught me, and ask myself - What would Gareth say?

Thank you Gareth for guiding me towards a healthier mental space!

I first spoke to Gareth several years ago when dealing with the death of a close friend and coming to terms with what I soon realised had been several years of mental health struggles. Gareth was the first therapist I ever spoke to and he made it as easy as it possibly could be from the very first session. He helped me understand my depression, introduced me to both CBT and Mindfulness, and I felt like his techniques and reading materials were always tailored to me personally. He even went out of his way to speak to me on video when I was travelling for work (a long time before that was the done thing).

After reaching a really good place from the original sessions, I realised I needed to speak to Gareth again a few years later. I waited to speak to Gareth again personally rather than another therapist, and I’m incredibly glad that I did. The second time around my therapy was more intense – Gareth introduced me the idea of having been through trauma, something I’d never considered before, and we used EMDR to process my experiences. At various points I found that really hard, ranging from worrying I was doing it wrong to continuing to process things vividly in the days following each section – I was able to work through all of that with Gareth and have felt much more in control of my mental health since.

Whilst we don’t currently need to speak on a regular basis, I would not hesitate to get back in touch with Gareth if that changed, and I know I’d be in incredibly safe hands once again.

I met Gareth after seeing a couple of other therapists who weren't the right fit. I instantly felt at ease with him. I was able to talk and open up, with his encouragement directing my focus on the questions I wanted to focus on. I really appreciated this as others have let me free talk around in circles.

Together we would revisit his notes on reoccurring themes which made me realise the messy knot of issues in my head, were actually quite simple and had the same root cause. His compassion focused approach encouraged me to develop much more compassion for myself.

Gareth always noticed when it got difficult for me and helped me deconstruct tricky revelations when they occurred, I never felt judged and trusted him completely. His knowledge and experience meant we tried a variety of techniques to address different issues I wanted to explore.

He guided and supported me through a very turbulent time in my life and I have come out the other side more aware of my behaviours and have learnt how to alter them with a new-found perspective. I am forever grateful for his patience and expertise. I will utilise the tools he gave me for a lifetime.

I was going through a very difficult time in my life when I started attending therapy with Gareth. As someone who has had difficulty trusting and opening up to people, it was incredibly significant to me that he was able to create a safe space where I could open up and explore my emotions, particularly my depression and anxiety. Within this space he was able to help me explore those feelings examining where they come from and he provided me with tools to help me deal with them. I am incredibly thankful that I had Gareth as a psychotherapist.

Gareth really helped me make sense of the root causes of my anxiety, and gave me lots of information and techniques to help me better understand myself. He listened to what I needed, adapted his approach when I wasn't getting value from what we were doing, and helped me to develop a much greater awareness of both myself and others. All of which has allowed me to be able to manage my anxiety more effectively and feel better.

Gareth has helped me build on and realise my own mental strength. Through techniques that have helped me to sit with my anxious or negative thoughts, I've been able to practice those and realise my own capabilities and accept and sit with uncomfortable feelings.

Through a mixture of ERP and EMDR I've been able to place events and accept they've had an impact on my life in a calm way. This has done wonders for me and my family living with the challenges of OCD.

When you have someone as compassionate and accessible as Gareth to guide you through therapy you can really get the best out of it.

The sessions were very rewarding, it felt casual but deep, therefore I could really open up and let it out.

I felt my anxiety improved with each encounter, and the meditations really helped and eased the process and more importantly, to ease my mind, I still use them from time to time!

I began therapy with Gareth in 2021 and he instantly put me at ease in a situation I found quite daunting. Therapy has completely changed my life for the better, I have gained tools in self soothing, mindfulness and self-reflection. I had always been an anxious and worried person and I can truly say that I now live a much happier and healthier life because of therapy with Gareth. I can now enter new and scary situations with a bank of tools that allow me to excel. Gareth is a wonderful, patient and kind therapist who has allowed me to live a life without worry or fear.

Gareth is extremely easy to talk to and was able to help me with my anxiety and panic attacks from the first session we had.

I hadn't been to therapy before, but Gareth put me at ease, and it felt more like chatting to a friend than undergoing treatment. He quickly identified habits that were leading to my distress and gave me the tools I needed to break them. Sometimes just being aware of something after he pointed it out was enough for me to change my behaviours or outlook - other areas took a bit of work/daily practice.

I haven’t had a panic attack in 4 years now, and I feel much more equipped to handle stressful situations. Totally life changing and I can’t thank him enough.

I was dealing with some very debilitating mental health issues when I met Gareth. I was referred for EMDR and I can honestly say that it (he) changed the way I live my life.

Pre EMDR and being treated by Gareth, I was easily overwhelmed, stressed, found I went through bouts of depression and anxiety and since being treated I find I am much better at managing my stress, keeping perspective, improved outlook and how I deal with situations, especially when I become overwhelmed with life at its peak.

Last year I had to deal with a traumatic and life changing experience that previously would have floored me and probably taken me down a very dark rabbit hole, but instead, I processed the situation in a way that meant I could move through it all and not have the usual setbacks, panic attacks, depression and anxiety that would have prevented me from carrying on with my day to day life, job and friends. I didn't recognise myself and the way I dealt with that situation and I am hugely grateful for that!

Gareth as a therapist as well as the treatment of EMDR was like some kind of wizardry. I have no idea how it works, but it works! He is a great therapist and I would highly recommend him.

Gareth is an excellent therapist who helped me navigate a difficult period in my life. He is very understanding and knowledgeable, and I found that there was a lot of learning involved in our sessions, particularly in terms of understanding how our thoughts and behaviours are shaped by evolutionary factors. His guidance and insight were invaluable to me. Thanks to his help, I feel fully recovered and equipped with the resilience and tools to handle any future challenges.

If you are going through a difficult time, I highly recommend speaking with Gareth - he is someone you can rely on to provide a supportive and understanding environment to help you work through your challenges.

I first began seeing Gareth for therapy in early 2019 at a time when I was trying to leave a very difficult marriage. The initial therapy was very action oriented and focused a lot on exploration of my past to understand where I was at that point. It was enormously helpful and enlightening, whilst giving me a strategy of how to deal with all scenarios that may have happened whilst making this life change. Gareth then supported me through those transitions and healing from past trauma, to try to ensure that I would not carry trauma forward, and improved my mindset and coping abilities through a very difficult year. During this time, we used EMDR which was extremely successful for me.

I then started seeing Gareth again from 2021, after realising that I needed some further help to heal from early trauma and to unlock some painful memories and prevent trigger reactions in the future. During this time, we also used deep brain reorienting which really was hugely successful in unlocking unhelpful memories and helping me move into a happier, freer phase of my life.

Throughout all of my treatment, Gareth spent lot of time understanding my values and core needs and flexing the therapy, tailoring it continuously. He also went above and beyond in providing me with further reading or materials that helped my journey and consolidated the treatment in between sessions.

I can honestly say that the amazing approach, techniques and genuine passion and care Gareth showed me absolutely changed my life and he is genuinely outstanding at what he does.

Gareth had been treating a family member for anxiety related issues and I decided to get in touch with him about a problem that I had experienced for over 25 years. This issue was that I experienced hand tremors in certain work-related situations, specifically when somebody was observing me perform a task. I guess I thought that Gareth would give me some magic tool that would stop this annoying problem.

I had weekly sessions with Gareth; during our sessions Gareth took me back to events in my past, events that I had not quite forgotten, but had forcefully decided to keep at the very back of my mind. I have to admit that at times I found myself feeling irritated having to relive these painful experiences. I did not understand how that could be relevant to what I considered to be my main issue - the hand tremors.

I decided to stop therapy after five months. At the time I was not sure if the therapy had helped but I wanted a bit of time to rethink and process everything that I had learnt.

Fast forward to now, eight months after stopping therapy, and I can say that the hand tremors have disappeared. Situations at work arise when I think my hands will start shaking but they remain perfectly steady. It seems like a miracle after all these years.

Thank you, Gareth, the magic tool did exist after all. I just never imagined that it was inside my head.

Therapy with Gareth was extremely beneficial for my mental health. I had struggled with anxiety, OCD and depression for a while and had tried multiple different therapists. No one was really able to make any difference except for Gareth! I learnt various different methods of dealing with negative thoughts and overcoming trauma. Gareth is very gentle and kind, and it’s really comforting to feel heard and safe during therapy. I listen to his advice every day and I am extremely thankful.
