About Guy Illingworth

Guy Illingworth is an integrative psychotherapist who combines a person-centred foundation with Jungian psychological perspectives. With four years of clinical experience, he has worked with people facing a range of concerns, including historical trauma, abuse, anxiety, stress, depression and criminal rehabilitation.

Trained originally in person-centred counselling and having undertaken further study in Jungian psychology and psychodynamic approaches, he aims to empower clients while offering whatever level of structure best serves each individual. His way of working is adaptable, matching pacing and boundaries to what helps the person in front of him.

Guy cultivates a judgement free therapeutic space grounded in empathy and careful attention to the emotional meaning of a client’s experience. He uses a variety of interaction styles but places relationship and collaboration at the centre of the work, believing that sessions develop uniquely for each person rather than following a single right path.

Reaching out for help can feel intimidating, and Guy recognises how difficult that first step often is. He seeks to support people as they move toward greater wellbeing and fulfilment, drawing on his clinical training and his affiliation with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
