About me
A Grounded Approach to Healing and Growth
If you have found your way here, you are likely looking for a space where you can be truly heard, not just by a professional who has studied mental health in textbooks and years of classroom training, but also someone who understands the weight of life's complexities firsthand.
I am Garon Green, a qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor with 10 years of experience in private practice and over 16 years working in mental health and addictions, homelessness charities.
My approach is grounded, straightforward, and collaborative. I offer a confidential space where there is no need for "small talk," just a real, honest connection designed to help you explore your struggles and regain a sense of direction.
How I Work: A Solution-Focused Integration
I believe therapy should lead to meaningful change.
My work is Integrative, meaning I draw from several evidence-based models to suit your specific needs, always through a Solution-Focused lens.
This means that while we respect the past, our primary focus remains on your strengths and the practical steps you can take toward the life you want to lead.
My toolkit includes

- CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy): To help you identify and shift the thought patterns that keep you stuck.
- Person-Centred Therapy: Ensuring our work is always led by your lived experience and values.
- Jungian Influence: I help you look beneath the surface to understand deeper patterns and work toward a more authentic version of yourself.
Areas of Specialism
- Anxiety & Depression: Moving from overthinking to a state of grounding and clarity.
- Grief & Loss: Navigating the complex, non-linear journey of bereavement.
- Addiction Recovery: Drawing on 16 years of sector experience to support sustainable change.
- Men’s Mental Health: Providing a space where men can speak freely without judgment.
- Relationship Challenges: Using DBT and CBT tools to improve communication and boundaries.

You don't have to walk the dark miles alone." If you are reading this, you’ve already taken a courageous first step. Life is complex, and we all face times when we feel overwhelmed, stuck, or numb. I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space for you to explore these struggles and unlock your inner strengths.
I am an Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, meaning I tailor my approach to your unique needs. I am particularly passionate about supporting men who appear strong on the outside but struggle internally with anxiety, depression, or trauma.
My practice is grounded in my professional therapy room in Milton-under-Wychwood, providing a calm, private environment to focus entirely on your healing. I also offer Walk and Talk therapy across the Cotswolds and online sessions globally.
My path was shaped by personal challenges. Having navigated addiction, homelessness, and deep grief, I understand firsthand what it feels like to be in the "dark miles." Through embracing vulnerability, I discovered the power of growth, and I am now dedicated to guiding others toward self-discovery. Professionally, I bring over 10 years of private practice experience and a 16-year background in the addiction, homelessness, and housing sectors.
Whether dealing with anxiety, loss, addiction, or relationship challenges, I offer compassionate support to help you move forward.

You don't have to walk the dark miles alone."
If you are reading this, you’ve already taken a courageous first step. Life can be incredibly complex, and there are times when we all feel overwhelmed, stuck, or numb. I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space for you to explore these struggles, unlock your inner strengths, and begin a journey toward emotional well-being.
My Approach
I am an Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, which means I don’t believe in a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. I tailor our work to your specific needs, drawing on various therapeutic techniques to help you move forward with clarity. I am particularly passionate about working with men who may appear strong on the outside but are struggling internally with anxiety, depression, or the weight of past trauma.
I offer a variety of ways to work together, depending on what feels most comfortable for you:
- Room-Based Therapy: I provide traditional face-to-face sessions in a calm, private, and grounding environment in Milton-under-Wychwood. This dedicated space offers a consistent "anchor" for our work, allowing you to step away from the distractions of daily life and focus entirely on your healing.
- Walk and Talk Therapy: We can take our sessions outdoors into the beautiful landscape of West Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds. Moving in nature can often lower the pressure of a traditional room, allowing thoughts and feelings to flow more naturally.
- Holistic Integration: For those seeking a more somatic or mindful approach, I integrate Mindfulness and Reiki Healing to help restore balance to both the mind and body.

Having navigated addiction, homelessness, and deep grief, I understand firsthand what it feels like to be in the "dark miles."
