About Gareth Blake
He offers a straightforward, human approach rather than a detached clinical performance. Gareth prioritizes honest connection and listens for what a person wants to name and how they want to move forward. His practice places attention on feelings as useful information rather than problems to be erased - emotions are treated as data to be noticed and worked with in the body.
Sessions are paced to slow down and attend to what is alive in the moment, and the work is adapted to suit different ways of thinking and processing. When someone is neurodivergent, trauma-affected, or thinks differently, Gareth adjusts methods so the process better fits that person rather than asking the person to fit a standard model.
His approach is integrative, combining emotion-focused work with cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic ideas, and solution-focused strategies. Clients can expect sessions that feel authentic rather than clinical, practical tools that transfer into everyday life, work that honours both emotion and action, clear discussion about what is realistic, and flexibility in how they meet - via video, phone, live chat, or messaging.
