About Guy Ridgway

Guy Ridgway is a UK-based counsellor who combines structured, solution-focused work with a human-centred listening approach to help people move forward. He uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as his primary method, working collaboratively to develop practical strategies for issues such as stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and depression. Alongside CBT he draws on humanistic approaches including Person-Centred Therapy, Transactional Analysis, and Gestalt Therapy to create a supportive space for exploring personal goals and values.

Fully qualified in England with five years of professional counselling experience, he is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He also holds a TQUK Level 3 Certificate in Understanding Autism - a vocational qualification focused on autism awareness and support. These qualifications inform his work with neurodivergent clients and underpin his practical, empathic approach.

Ridgway brings lived experience to his practice as someone who is high-functioning autistic and who also has ADHD and dyslexia. That personal perspective shapes his understanding of the challenges faced by people who think differently and supports his commitment to offering genuine empathy and tailored strategies. He has worked extensively with people experiencing addiction and homelessness, trauma and abuse, low motivation and self-criticism, and social or isolation-related anxiety.

He has particular experience supporting neurodivergent clients, including those with Autism, ADHD, dyslexia, bipolar disorder, and Down syndrome. His work also covers related concerns such as abandonment and attachment issues, body image, chronic pain or illness, communication difficulties, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, men's issues, midlife transitions, mood disorders, and relationships with narcissistic individuals. Throughout his practice he aims to offer a warm, inclusive, non-judgmental space and to tailor dialogue and treatment plans to each person’s individual needs and goals.

Could remote therapy fit your needs?

Many people ask whether remote therapy can provide real help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions. It can offer a practical alternative for those seeking accessible support.

A major benefit of working remotely is flexibility. People can choose the format that suits them best - video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapy into busy or unpredictable schedules. This variety also allows therapists to adapt their approach to what feels most comfortable for each person.

Licensed professionals provide online therapy, and clients have the option to change therapists if they need a different fit. For many, remote sessions remove logistical barriers and make ongoing therapeutic work more manageable while preserving a structured, professional approach to care.
