Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

About Me

I understand that every person’s needs are different, so I aim to provide counselling that’s tailored just for you. I believe in personal freedom, so you can speak freely with me without any judgment. We’ll work together to understand your challenges. While emotions and talking are important, I also focus on thoughts and actions to help you heal.

Experience and Education

I have extensive experience in counselling, with training approved by two of the largest counselling services in the UK, BACP and CPCAB. My qualifications include specialized training in autism, dementia, grief, and loss, among other areas. My approach is based on years of practice and continuous learning in the latest therapeutic methods.

Treatment Approach

My counselling approach is integrative, using different methods to suit your unique needs. I believe in a holistic approach, combining emotional, cognitive, and behavioral strategies to help you heal and grow.

I also offer group therapy through playing Dungeons and Dragons. This therapy uses storytelling and character creation to tackle tough subjects and personal issues in a supportive group setting. It’s been shown to help many people, especially those who find social situations challenging, by teaching them to navigate our complex social world while having fun and rolling dice.

How I Can Help

I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to help you explore your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Whether through one-on-one sessions or group therapy, I’m here to support you on your path to healing and personal growth. Together, we can work towards understanding and overcoming your challenges, leading to a healthier and more fulfilling life.

About

Gareth Blake offers personalised counselling that adapts to each person’s needs and circumstances. He works with a wide range of concerns, including LGBT issues, relationships, grief and loss, intimacy-related difficulties, coping with life changes, stress and anxiety, addictions, family matters, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem and depression.

With five years of clinical experience, Gareth’s training has been approved by BACP and CPCAB, two of the largest counselling organisations in the United Kingdom. He has also completed specialist training in autism, dementia, and grief and loss, and he draws on ongoing professional learning to inform his practice.

His approach is integrative and holistic, blending emotional exploration with attention to thoughts and behaviours so clients can work toward practical change as well as emotional understanding. Counselling is delivered in a non-judgmental environment where personal freedom of expression is respected.

In addition to individual work, Gareth runs group therapy using Dungeons and Dragons, a storytelling and role-playing format that uses character creation and shared narratives to explore personal issues. This group option can be particularly helpful for people who find social situations challenging, as it provides a structured, playful setting to practise social skills and emotional processing while engaging in a creative activity.

Gareth aims to support clients through collaborative therapy focused on understanding challenges, developing coping strategies, and promoting personal growth. He is based in the United Kingdom and offers a supportive space for people seeking to move toward greater wellbeing.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Online therapy can be an effective option for many common difficulties, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life transitions. For these kinds of concerns, remote sessions have been found to work as well as traditional in-person therapy for most people. One major benefit is flexibility – clients can choose the mode of contact that fits their life and preferences, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety makes it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments. Therapists who provide online care are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to request a different therapist at any time if they feel a different fit would be helpful. For many people, remote therapy provides a practical, accessible route to support and progress.
