About Guy
Guy Illingworth is a BACP counsellor who works from a person-centred and Jungian background. He has four years of experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns, including trauma, anxiety, stress and criminal rehabilitation. Guy aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them.
He began training as a person-centred counsellor and later studied Jungian psychology and psychodynamic ideas. That mix informs how he balances openness with helpful structure during sessions. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs rather than following a fixed script.
Guy uses simple, everyday language in sessions and pays attention to the emotional meaning behind difficult experiences. He works with issues such as grief, depression, relationship and intimacy-related problems, family and parenting strain, and coping with life changes. He also supports people facing addiction, body image concerns and stress linked to caregiving or cancer.
Additional areas he addresses include communication and control issues, commitment worries, attachment difficulties, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. He also welcomes people from LGBT communities and those exploring kink, BDSM and alternative sexual cultures.
Guy aims to help people find what works for them. He offers collaborative, down-to-earth sessions that focus on understanding, practical steps and building a better day-to-day routine. If taking the first step feels hard, he frames the work as a paced journey toward clearer thinking and more manageable feelings.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the relationship in the room. The counsellor listens deeply, reflects what has been said and helps people feel heard so they can find their own answers. This approach suits anxiety, stress, grief and many relationship concerns.Jungian Therapy pays attention to personal stories and symbolic meaning. It can help people understand recurring patterns, attachment issues and deeper emotional themes that affect daily life. Jungian ideas are often used alongside more practical work to make sense of feelings and behaviour.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Guy will discuss options with each person and together they will choose ways of working that match the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration helps keep sessions purposeful and tailored.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it simple to continue weekly work from wherever they are, and therapists can adapt tasks between sessions to support ongoing progress.
