Gareth Owen Parry
About me
I'm Gareth, an experienced and professional therapeutic counsellor, with a BSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy and fully registered membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
I work with clients who may be having difficulties from the past, painful experiences in the present, or worries about the future that have left them distressed and feeling as though they can't cope with day-to-day life. I offer professional therapy for a range of issues including:
- depression
- anxiety
- addiction
- self esteem
- trauma
- abuse
- bereavement/loss
- anger
- relationship issues
- identity.
The counselling service that I offer can provide a safe and non-judgemental environment for you to talk through your difficulties and issues to find closure, working towards goals of self actualisation, personal acceptance, and resolution in the comfortable, confidential safe space of the Hebden Bridge Therapy Centre or via my internet counselling service.
Sessions are based upon the approach of Person-Centred, meaning they are focused on and directed by you, the client, but as an integrative counsellor I do also utilise other approaches during the counselling process. During each session, I work alongside you with an empathic, congruent and understanding mind, facilitating your journey of self exploration and building self understanding, self awareness, self worth and self confidence.
- 60 minute, one to one session - £35-£45
- 75 minute sessions, Couples - £55-£65 (sliding scale based on income)
Your introductory session is free. This will allow us to determine the focus and goal of your sessions, discuss the contract between ourselves and determine the exact cost of your sessions. Please call me on 07770 635046 or email me. I aim to respond within 48 hours, if you enquiry by email, then don’t forget to check your spam folder.

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
