Gareth Dix

Please note: I offer online sessions only.

Hello there, my name is Gareth and I have been a Counsellor for 10 years working in diverse settings including private practice, youth centres, schools, colleges, universities, the NHS and with young offenders.
 
I am qualified as an Integrative Counsellor meaning I can use different methods of therapy depending on the client’s individual needs. This is underpinned by my strong Person-Centred approach that results in my appointments being dynamic in nature because everyone is unique with their own problems and worries.
 
Although any difficulties can be explored in my sessions I have the most experience supporting those facing issues associated with anxiety, depression, self-harm, bullying and neurodiversity. I work extensively with adults but young people aged 12+ respond particularly well to my informal friendly approach, array of analogies and the relational way I interact.
 
After 10 years of experience working face to face in organisations I appreciate that it can sometimes feel clinical and that one size rarely does fit all. I now work exclusively online, offering private bookings which enables me to focus purely on the client’s particular requirements whilst still observing the BACP Ethical Framework.
 
In my spare time with my wife, son and 5 cats I am unapologetically geeky with interests including AI art, music, video games, memorabilia, science fiction and anything related to Marvel & DC. 
 
Thanks for taking the time to look at my profile – I look forward to hearing from you soon.

New £45 rate for everyone (down from £50). £45 was previously my concessional rate but with the cost of living I'm now offering this to everyone to try to keep costs down for clients as much as possible. Payment is due via Bank Transfer before the start of each session.
