About Garry
Garry Ebrey is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or big life changes. He works with clients who are struggling with grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and relationship or family difficulties. Garry writes plainly and listens closely so people can tell their story in their own words.
He encourages people to notice the parts of life that still work and to build on those strengths.
Background and approach
Sessions are a place to talk through difficult memories, think about patterns that repeat, and try small changes that can feel manageable. Garry treats identity concerns such as LGBT issues and gender dysphoria with sensitivity and openness. Garry trained in the UK and holds NCPS as his listed credential.
He has three years of professional experience working with a range of concerns, including trauma, parenting strain, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and compassion fatigue. He also supports people facing career stress, caregiving pressures, and the effects of cancer on family life. His approach draws on Narrative ideas about how people make sense of their lives, plus Attachment-based thinking and client-centred listening.
He may also use cognitive behavioural techniques or existential questions when these fit a person’s needs. Together he and the client decide what feels most helpful in day-to-day life. Sessions can take different shapes depending on what someone needs.
Garry aims to create a straightforward, steady space for people to work through what matters to them and to practise new ways of coping between sessions.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how he works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Garry directly how he uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and attachment work online
Garry often uses Narrative Therapy to help people re-tell their experiences and notice themes that shape their life. This approach helps when past events or repeated patterns make day-to-day living harder by offering new ways to describe and respond to those stories.He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy which looks at how early connections affect current relationships and coping. This can be useful for people who want to understand why they react strongly in close relationships and to try different ways of relating. In sessions he uses client-centred listening to follow what matters most to the person and to pace the work according to their comfort.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the process. He works collaboratively to decide which methods feel useful, checks in about progress, and adapts plans to match each person’s goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people see facial cues and work in depth, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is lower. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when writing feels more helpful. These options make it easier to arrange regular meetings around work, family and other commitments.
