Sometimes things feel off, even when you can’t quite explain why.
Integrative counselling, psychotherapy & EMDR – online across the UK and internationally, and in person in Kent.
I work with adults who are used to holding things together. Some people need space to talk and make sense of things. Others are carrying something more specific – a past experience, a pattern that won’t shift – and EMDR can help with that. If you’re not sure which fits, that’s fine. We can work it out together.
How it works
Taking the first step is often the hardest part. Here’s what to expect.
1. Get in touch
A short message or a call – no commitment needed, no pressure to explain yourself perfectly.
2. Free 15 minute call
We talk briefly to see if it feels like the right fit. You can ask anything – there are no wrong questions.
3. Begin at your pace
Your first session begins when you’re ready. We start wherever feels right for you.
Hello, I’m Gareth
I’m an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist based in Tenterden, Kent. People often describe me as calm, grounded and easy to talk to – which is probably the most useful thing I can say about myself here.
I believe that therapy shouldn’t feel clinical or scripted. It’s a conversation, and I’ll follow yours carefully
“People make more sense than they often realise – especially when they’re met with patience, honesty and respect”

EMDR
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing. It sounds clinical – but in practice it’s an advanced, focused and evidence-based approach that helps your brain process experiences that got stuck. Trauma, anxiety, distressing memories that still feel present. If something from the past is affecting how you feel now, EMDR might be worth exploring.

What Is EMDR Therapy — and How Does It Work?
It’s one of the most common questions people ask before getting in touch. Is EMDR right for me? The honest answer is: it depends on what you’re carrying and what you’re looking for.
What Is Integrative Talking Therapy – and How Does It Work?
If you’ve ever Googled “therapy” and felt overwhelmed by the list – CBT, person-centred, psychodynamic, Gestalt, humanistic – you’re not alone. Most people don’t care what the approach is called. They just want to feel better.
What Is Clinical Supervision in Counselling – and Why Does It Matter?
If you’re a counsellor or therapist, supervision isn’t optional – it’s the thing that keeps your practice grounded, honest, and safe. But beyond the professional requirement, good supervision is something else.
