About Guy Illingworth
Guy Illingworth is an integrative psychotherapist whose practice is grounded in person-centred therapy and Jungian psychology. He brings over three years of experience working with people facing a wide range of concerns, including historical trauma, abuse, anxiety, stress, depression and criminal rehabilitation. He was originally trained as a person-centred counsellor and has continued his study in Jungian psychology and psychodynamic approaches to enrich his work.
Guy aims to empower each person he works with while adapting the level of structure to suit individual needs. He seeks to build a nonjudgemental space centred on empathy and a genuine effort to understand the emotional and psychological meaning of a client's experiences. Although he uses a variety of methods in sessions, his underlying objective is to develop a meaningful therapeutic relationship that is unique to each person.
Guy recognises that reaching out for help can feel overwhelming and sometimes scary. He values a flexible, client-led process where there is no single right way to proceed, and he looks forward to supporting people as they move toward a more fulfilled and balanced life.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Guy draws on client-centred therapy, which focuses on creating a supportive, empathic environment where the client leads the pace and direction of work - this approach is helpful for building self-awareness, processing emotions, and finding personal solutions to life challenges. Jungian therapy complements this by exploring personal stories, symbols and patterns that shape a person's inner life, often useful for understanding deeper meanings behind recurring difficulties and for working with life transitions. Solution-focused therapy offers a practical, goal-oriented method that helps identify and build on a person's existing strengths and small changes that lead to meaningful progress.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Guy will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences. Together they will adapt the focus and format of sessions as understanding develops.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - provide flexibility for people with busy schedules, geographic constraints or different communication preferences. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access registered professionals from diverse locations, while still enabling a therapeutic relationship that supports progress and personal growth.
