About

Gareth Barnes is an integrative therapist with 3 years of professional experience who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, career difficulties, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, and coping with life changes.

He trained with Cruse Bereavement Care and with the homeless charity Depaul before moving into counselling full time. Gareth draws on person-centered and cognitive behavioural therapy approaches to work with each person according to their individual needs.

Having been a therapy client himself, he understands how daunting taking the first step can be and aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored safely. As an older male therapist, he tailors his approach to each client and works collaboratively to set therapy goals.

Clients remain in control of how and when sessions take place, and Gareth works alongside them to help move forward in a supportive and collaborative way.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

For many common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as in-person sessions. It can be a practical option when dealing with everyday mental health needs.

One major benefit is flexibility - people can connect in the way that suits them best, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.

Therapists offering these services are licensed professionals, and if a different fit is needed, it is possible to switch to another therapist at any time. Online therapy can therefore provide effective support with convenience and options that match a person’s preferences.
