Listening Tree Associate
Gareth Barnes
MBACP Level 4 Diploma and Level 5 Certificate in CBT
Central to my practice is creating a safe, calm, and non‑judgemental environment where you can explore the challenges you’re facing. Together, we focus on developing tools and strategies that empower you to move forward with confidence. My aim is to support you to a point where you no longer need me, where you feel grounded, capable, and more connected to yourself.
I have specialist training in bereavement and particular interest in anxiety, work‑related stress, and men’s mental health. I am also experienced in supporting clients who are neurodivergent who may feel misunderstood or unseen in other settings.
In addition to counselling, I provide reflective supervision, using my broad professional background to offer supervisees a supportive space to deepen their practice and gain new perspectives.
