About Greg
Greg Schofield offers a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience at the heart of therapy. He uses that framework to listen closely and help people make sense of difficult feelings. Greg holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings seven years of practice to his work.
Greg draws on his own experience of counselling to shape how he meets people. Sessions aim to be straightforward and non-judgemental.
How Greg works
He takes time to understand each person's situation before suggesting ways forward. People often come to Greg with stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship worries. He also supports those dealing with grief, family conflict, parenting strain and issues around intimacy.
His practice includes work on addictions, self-esteem, career concerns and coping with major life changes. Additional focus areas include abandonment, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care, blended family issues and body image. He has also worked with people affected by cancer, caregiving stress, codependency and domestic violence.
Greg adapts conversations to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions are practical and conversational. Greg helps people identify small steps they can try between meetings.
He encourages honest discussion and gradual change, supporting clients as they test new ways of coping. People who want an empathetic listener and a steady, person-centred way of working may find this approach helpful. Greg aims to create a space where people feel heard and can begin to move forward.

Online support options
Person-centred care and online counselling options
Greg primarily uses a client-centred approach which centres on respectful listening and helping people make sense of their feelings. This method focuses on understanding the person's experience and supporting them to find their own solutions, which can help with anxiety, low mood, relationship worries and grief.In practice the counsellor offers calm, undirected conversation where the person leads the topics and pace. This style suits people who want a supportive space to explore emotions, attachment concerns, family issues or life transitions without being steered by rigid techniques.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Greg will work collaboratively to decide what feels most useful based on needs, goals and personal preferences. He will check in regularly and adjust how sessions run as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different routines. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins and text messaging can suit people who prefer written reflection. These options make it easier to book appointments around work, family and travel commitments, and to continue therapy when circumstances change.
