Gary Jessop

I  am a professional counsellor, accredited by the National Counselling Society. I am fully qualified and certified as an online, face to face, and telephone counsellor and also a qualified hypnotherapist.

I believe that the most important ingredient to any therapy with successful outcomes is the relationship between therapist and client – the environment has to be right for the client. Some clients don't have the time to go to every meeting, so a flexible practice is key to ensuring you have all the support you need.

I am an Integrated therapist which means I work with different approaches depending on the client.

 I have experienced stressful situations through my personal life and my previous working life in finance. Sometimes a high-pressured environment can lead to feelings of stress and a lack of control that requires support, engagement and analysis. Time is important, and it is difficult for people to find that balance. I understand how both professionally and domestically feelings can be triggered, and emotions require support. I have  felt this and through perception and training help others through troublesome times.

Giving the client flexibility in how they want to work is key to giving them control. When we feel anxious and stressed, we feel out of control, so any senses of security are paramount. 

I am also a volunteer for the charity Cruse Bereavement, supporting people through their grief.
