Gav McKee

Gav is an attachment-based psychotherapist and trainer with a flourishing private practice. He works with adults who have experienced challenging pasts—often shaped by childhood trauma, neglect, or emotional disconnection—supporting them to navigate painful emotions, self-sabotaging behaviours, and unhelpful thought patterns that can hinder a fulfilling life. His therapeutic offerings include both online sessions and walk-and-talk therapy, reflecting his belief that healing can occur in diverse environments. Although Gav trained initially as an integrative therapist, he consistently found himself drawn back to attachment theory. For him, it serves as the thread that weaves together a wide range of approaches, offering a powerful framework for understanding emotional suffering and transformation. He values its capacity to provide structure, track therapeutic progress, and decode the defensive dynamics that often arise within the client-therapist relationship. As a trainer, Gav is passionate about sharing his knowledge and experience. His teaching style is relaxed and collaborative, aimed at fostering a safe, supportive environment where learners feel confident to ask questions, reflect deeply, and connect theory to their clinical practice. He hopes participants leave his courses feeling inspired, empowered, and more grounded in their identity as therapists. Outside of his professional role, Gav enjoys walking in nature and spending quality time with the people who matter most to him. He looks forward to supporting others on their journey into this meaningful, challenging, and profoundly rewarding profession.
