About Gareth
Gareth Young is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He focuses on anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress and a range of other concerns. Gareth also works with LGBTQ issues, including questions about sexual and gender identity, and describes his practice as affirmative.
He uses an integrative approach, drawing on client-centred work and narrative techniques to help people tell and reframe difficult stories. Sessions are shaped around what each person brings, with practical, solution-focused steps when useful. Gareth lists Internal Family Systems and motivational interviewing among the methods he uses.
In a session he aims to listen without judgement and to support people as they make decisions about their lives. He describes counselling as collaborative and prefers plain conversation rather than clinical language. He also notes experience with relationship and intimacy concerns, grief and trauma-related issues.
Gareth has additional focus areas that include body image, communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, family problems and isolation or loneliness. He also works with people facing addiction, self-harm, sexual assault and workplace difficulties, and lists young adult and men's issues among his interests.
Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Gareth uses approaches in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says. It helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings and make their own decisions. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and helps separate the person from the problem, which can suit issues like identity, grief or shame.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gareth will discuss methods and try different ways of working with the client to see what fits. This is a collaborative process driven by the client’s goals, needs and preferences rather than a fixed plan.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins at work breaks, or remove the need to travel. Online work can still use conversation, story-focused exercises and solution-focused tasks in the same way as in-person counselling, with adaptations to suit the client’s routine and communication style.
