About Gary Stanley

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online therapy
Gary uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that include skills-focused interventions - practical strategies designed to build coping skills, reduce anxiety, and address addictive behaviours by teaching new ways to manage difficult moments. He also employs exploratory, insight-oriented methods that help clients examine patterns, beliefs, and relational dynamics to support recovery from depression, trauma-related concerns, and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Gary works collaboratively with each person to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors the work over time, adapting methods and pacing to support progress while respecting each client’s perspective.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family, or mobility needs. These options make it easier to attend regularly, fit therapy into a busy schedule, and maintain continuity of care when circumstances change, while working with a registered professional who guides the process.
