About Guy
Guy Illingworth is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, anger, and related life challenges.
He trained originally in person-centred counselling and later studied Jungian psychology and psychodynamic ideas. Guy combines a person-centred core with Jungian thinking and practical, solution-focused elements. Sessions are aimed at helping people talk through what matters and find approaches that fit their life.
Guy aims to keep sessions straightforward and structured enough to be useful. He uses what the client finds helpful rather than forcing a single method. Conversations can include looking at current problems, exploring patterns from the past, and trying short, practical steps to manage feelings and behaviour.
He works with a broad range of issues including addiction concerns, career and self-esteem struggles, body image, attachment and commitment issues, and matters linked to sexuality and kink culture. Guy also supports people coping with bereavement, caring responsibilities, illness and the stress that comes with major life change.
People who prefer clear, down-to-earth discussion and some practical tasks alongside deeper reflection tend to find this style useful. To begin, the process asks for a short questionnaire and then a first session to set priorities and agree next steps.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs a non-directive space to talk through anger, relationship strains or low mood and to clarify their own priorities.Jungian Therapy pays attention to recurring patterns, personal symbolism and life themes. It can help people understand deeper emotional patterns that tie into anger, attachment and identity concerns.
Solution-Focused Therapy looks at practical steps and small changes that can be tried between sessions. This approach suits people who want clear, short-term goals for managing reactions and testing different coping strategies.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss what feels helpful, adjust methods as needed, and set shared goals based on the client's needs and preferences.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter or more frequent check-ins, and remove travel time. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings or simpler audio-only calls when that suits them.
