More about Guy
- 4 years' experience
- Male
- BACP
I am an integrative psychotherapist with a basis in person centred therapy and Jungian psychology. Currently I have over three years of experience working with clients presenting with a wide range of issues including historical trauma, abuse, anxiety, stress, depression and criminal rehabilitation.
Originally trained as a person-centred counsellor, and with further study in the field of Jungian psychology and psychodynamic therapy I aim to allow for my clients to be empowered while still maintaining varying levels of structure to best suit the individual needs of each client.
I strive to foster a judgement free environment with a focus on empathy and understanding of the emotional and mental significance of the clients experiences. While I employ many methods of interaction the underlying goal is to form a meaningful relationship unique to the client. As such there is no right or wrong in the development of sessions as the goal is to find what best works for you.
One of the most difficult things can be reaching out for help when we most need it, it can feel overwhelming and at times scary but you've already taken the first step which for many is the hardest. I look forward to being there to help you along your journey into a happier and more fulfilled future.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

My sessions with Guy are helpful and beneficial every single time. I’m extremely happy with my experience
Guy it's a great therapist. He is extremely helpful as well as very funny and attentive. I highly recommend him.
Grateful for the opportunity to talk to Guy. He is a great listener and his insights have been really helpful.
Guy is a great therapist, respectful and encouraging, allowing you to open at your own pace and asks questions which positively challenges your thought processes. Engaging intelligent philosophies, with a non judgemental understanding. I find guy very relatable and easy to talk to. Thank you Guy
I've been with Guy for a couple of years now and I'd highly recommend his services. Its nice to be able to connect with him on a personal level which makes me feel comfortable to share things.
Good lad, definitely understands my needs. I feel good talking about things that I don't get to discuss with people in my every day life
Have had a lot of struggle with therapists/going to therapy in the past but Guy has been amazing. He gives in depth responses but is not always overly serious so I feel way more comfortable talking to him. I’ve definitely seen an improvement within my life now that I have him as a therapist :)
During times when you're feeling low and lack someone to share your thoughts with, or when the absence of a support system leaves you isolated and unheard, coming across someone like Guy can be a real eye-opener. What sets Guy apart is his active involvement — he not only listens, but also takes steps to help you guide you out of the dark hole you might be in , providing a deep sense of rediscovering yourself again.
Guy is an amazing therapist!!!! Extremely understanding and very easy to get along with!
Where do I start, Guy has helped me grow as a man and helped me understand myself in ways I never have before, he’s helped me learn how to cope with the day to day stress and issues I’m faced with. I recommend guy to anyone suffering and In need of someone to confide in, he’s incredibly down to earth and relatable. Thank you Guy
Guy has been a wonderful space for me to explore my inner most thoughts in a safe, non judgemental and empathetic space. I've felt like he genuinely cares about my happiness and tries his best to understand and provide guidance in an honest, collaborative and constructive manner- I've enjoyed the practical weekly life homework he gives me as a way of applying the insights gleaned to daily life rather than it being just an intellectual conversation that doesn't actually lead to any real life changes. He's also got a great sense of humour and knows exactly what to say to lighten the mood if things seem too heavy. I feel confident now in moving forward in my life without therapy and am excited at the prospects - I do believe that the best therapists are ones that will be the guiding hand when life seems a struggle but will ultimately empower you to take ownership of your own life so that one day, you no longer need them - I know that Guy shares this belief too. Thank you for all your help Guy! I wish you well for all your future endeavours!
I cannot begin to describe how comprehensive someone can be when you open yourself enough to them. You just need to try. And go with your gut in the end, as it is guidance, not a rule. ∆w∆
Really helped me overcome some big issues in my life, really easy to talk to, even have a laugh with, highly recommend Guy for anyone needing help out there!
Guy has helped me so much. I've always been terrified of the idea of therapy and that it would make me feel worse. But therapy really is helping. I'm glad I found the courage in the end
I can't really recommend Guy enough: not only he's a respectful person that supports and helps you, he's also funny and trying always to make you think about what you're doing or thinking, providing insight rather than a direction. I don't know where I'll be without his support these days.
Good fit. He can relate to my situation. I would definitely recommend Guy.
