Gavin Demurger-Jones
Integrative counsellorAbout Me
Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, or other mental health conditions? Are you going through a major life transition? Are you struggling in your relationships? Are you looking to improve your self-esteem or develop your coping skills? Have you experienced trauma, addiction, grief, or loss?
I can help.
I help people to manage relationships, process the abuse they've suffered in the past, grapple with existential issues about the future, manage anger, process grief, understand their sexuality, their emotions, deal with depression as well as tackle their anxiety.
Searching for a therapist is difficult. How can you differentiate between one therapist and another? This is a question I’m asked regularly, and I feel that the best approach is to find a therapist that you click with. Someone that you can talk to openly, honestly, and that you feel that you have a connection.
I am a middle-aged man living in West Sussex. I'm a father to two children who are both growing up fast and a son to parents that are adjusting to retirement life. I'm also a husband.
I spent the first half of my career within the corporate/agency world and after a decade I realised that I wasn't getting much out of my job. I enjoyed the people and the environment, however, something was lacking from what I was doing. That’s when I discovered counselling and then subsequently retrained.
I offer a free 20-minute appointment, this is an opportunity for you to decide if you feel that you can work with me. After that, we find a time that works for you every week.
I've worked with a vast array of people. I've helped people to deal with relationships breaking down, the abuse they've suffered in the past, existential issues about the future, dealing with anger, processing grief, understanding sexuality, understanding emotions, dealing with depression as well as understanding their anxiety.

Now I work with a vast array of different people who are all struggling with some aspect of life, be it work, family, history, the future or grappling with more existential issues like what will my legacy be? I find this work to be incredibly meaningful and that it is of real value to the clients that I work with.

Training and qualifications
I trained at the Minster Centre, one of the leading Psychotherapy schools in the UK, as an Integrative Counsellor and this means that I use several different approaches in my practice that I adjust depending upon how each client responds.
As part of my studies, I covered Existential, Psychodynamic, Person-Centred, Body Psychotherapy together with a Relational approach with diversity at its core. In laymen's terms, it means that I've covered a broad range of different theoretical approaches combined with an understanding of what makes us all different.
