optionalGlen Gibson – Counsellor Therapist
I am a male counsellor and psychotherapist based in central London, Camden Town, close to Kings Cross. My interest in counselling developed in 1982. I was drawn to it because it was described as a psychology of the soul. I bring together over 40 years' experience of working with people as a counsellor and psychotherapist, both in the voluntary sector and privately. I have realised that deep and lasting change is possible at any stage. I value listening to people's life stories and acknowledge and aspire to share what I have learnt from others.
Personal Touch
Working at your own pace in my London counselling practice in Camden, I aim to bring clarity, creativity and sensitivity to my work with warmth, humour and maturity. With my passionate beliefs of self-determination self-empowerment and self-responsibility, in the counselling I offer fresh insight in an affirming, supportive and jargon-free way, checking with you if what I'm saying, resonates and fits. Having an impartial perspective in the counselling I usually work both intuitively and with knowledge, experience, understanding of what brings you to counselling. I recognise people can't simply be reduced down to a label, diagnosis, symptoms or issues. Viewing the online counselling as a joint exploration, in my London counselling in-person practice based in Camden, Kings Cross, I value the humanity in us all and acknowledge our own resources, qualities and strengths alongside our frailties, limitations and vulnerabilities.

Therapy Approach
Different approaches work for different people and no one approach is right for everyone also dependent on different times, stages, circumstances of our life. Within that context my professional approach is to offer a balanced feedback style.
Flexible Counselling Approach Counselling is not a medical treatment, panacea, or an exact science. I recognise that no single form of therapy is best or adequate in every situation. Therefore I do not hold a "one size fits all" or "tick box" approach, nor claim to know all the answers. Holding an integrative approach, different methods, interventions, work for different people. No single counselling approach holds the truth or explains the complexities of each person. There are numerous reasons for why we are the way we are, each of us are unique. A single theory cannot match every human being's needs and solve all problems. We don't all fit into neat boxes. There is usually no quick fix or easy formula. Different approaches help different people. What works for some may not work for others, so I work with a personalised approach in a way which best fits you. We are unique, having our own personality, circumstances, needs, strengths, weaknesses and struggles. No one is a stereotype - we are infinitely complex, full of mystery, with many creative possibilities. My counselling experience tells me that what matters is the relationship between counsellor and client - how the two of us relate together in the counselling, less so the style of the therapy.
Therapy explained
Existential
Existential therapy focuses on free will, self-determination, and the search for meaning—often centering on you rather than on the symptom.

Client Feedback
Dear Glen, I would like to thank you for all you have done for me during our sessions. The meetings with you have been key milestones for my development as an adult. Your warm and professional attitude, your workplace, etc ... have helped me to feel comfortable since the beginning of our counselling. The bonding you have created with me has provided me with a safe environment where I was really able to know, understand and accept myself better. You have immensely helped on this process and sup
Before I went to see Mr.Gibson, I felt my life was going nowhere. I was so depressed. But after many sessions with Glen, I feel born again! I'm loving life for the first time in years and this wouldn't have been possible without Glen's help.
Just a quick note to express my sincere thanks & deep gratitude for all your support & help.
I just wanted to thank you for helping me be brave. People like you really change people's lives for the better.
Thanks for all your help & support in what has been a difficult year for me. I really appreciate your work & time.
Dear Glen, Not sure if you remember me. I had counselling/psychotherapy with you over a period of 18 months several years ago. The main issue for me at the time was feeing stuck with my life especially with regard relationships. I have been in a long term relationship for nearly two years that is going very well and I am thinking of getting married next year. I feel the counselling I had with you made a real positive difference to my life and set in on the right path. I would just like to say
I can only thank Glen for the great work we've done together for almost two years. I've found his approach highly professional but more importantly, profound and illuminating. I've a great deal of respect for him and his work, which has truly helped me through a period in my life that I certainly didn't know how to deal with on my own. I could say Glen provided me with the tools to resolve my problems but I'd go even further and say he helped me find my very own ones. That's what I appreciate
