Meet Gary

Qualified Counsellor & Therapist

Gary May AMACCPH, qualified as a Counsellor and Therapist after overcoming his own mental health struggles. Discovering the success Therapy had with his depression and childhood trauma, he wanted to help others in the same way.

​

Gary practices an integrative style of counselling, which allows him to adapt his approach, depending on the client's individual needs. The main elements of this style are person centred and humanistic, incorporating Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Transactional Analysis (TA) where appropriate.

​

Gary has a background working with children in a residential care setting, providing emotional support to victims of physical, sexual and mental abuse. As well as working within specialist schools to provide educational support and care for children with Autism, ADHD, Asperger's and many other complex needs.

​

Gary has developed a specialist outdoors-style therapy with Walk & Talk counselling sessions. Incorporating the proven healing effect obtained from being outside with the traditional method of talking therapy.

Sessions can be arranged at multiple locations within the local area, maintaining safety and privacy, whilst enjoying the outdoors.

​

Gary also provides online Counselling, something that has become very popular since the pandemic. This allows clients to have sessions via a video link, removing any barriers around travel or worries within a formal office setting. These sessions provide the same high level of support as in person counselling, but with the benefit of you being able to remain in the comfort of your own home.
