About Garry – Integrative Counsellor in Maidstone, Kent

Hello, I’m Garry — an integrative counsellor in Maidstone (SC1508) at Specialist Counselling, offering face-to-face counselling in Maidstone & Teston and online counselling across Kent. Since 2019, I’ve provided a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore thoughts, emotions, and challenges at a pace that feels right for you.

Confidential, non-judgmental support • Free parking • Online or face-to-face

My counselling approach

I work integratively, blending humanistic (person-centred) counselling, elements of Gestalt, and tools from CBT counselling. Sessions are tailored to you — sometimes reflective, sometimes practical — always compassionate and grounded.

• Build self-awareness and emotional resilience
• Develop practical strategies for day-to-day coping
• Work gently, without pressure or judgment

Why I became a therapist

My journey into counselling grew from a simple belief: being truly heard can change a life. I know reaching out can feel vulnerable. I’ll meet you with empathy, honesty, and respect — walking alongside you as you make sense of what’s happening and move toward greater confidence and wellbeing.
