Dean Gaylard

I'm an integrative Counsellor with 7 years of experience working both face to face and online/telephone. I've worked with a wide range of issues and really believe in the strength of the therapeutic relationship as being one of the most helpful healing tools when engaging in therapy. Above all I wish to support my clients to feel as safe, supported and validated in their experiences as possible. I love fostering self compassion, nurture and care, and feel that the relationship we develop towards ourselves is extremely helpful when it comes to navigating difficult passages of our lives.

When I work with men my approach comes with the understanding that many of us have been taught that our emotions and emotional expressions are a sign of weakness and should be repressed or silenced. Having undergone my own journey to deconstruct snd heal this highly damaging belief system, I have a huge amount of empathy and compassion for those who are prepared to begin looking honestly at themselves in order to walk the path towards greater wholeness. I have the utmost respect for all men who dare to find their true strength by allowing their vulnerability to also shine through.

You can reach me via email or telephone. I offer a flexible booking system and try to meet my clients needs around time/day preferences as much as possible. I can also offer a short free initial consultation if desired.
