Will Gracia

Will Gracia is currently in the final year of a BSc in Person-Centred Pluralistic Counselling at Metanoia Institute, rooted in Person-Centred values he integrates pluralistic methods into his practice. Will’s therapeutic approach centres on building a collaborative, respectful, and non judgemental therapeutic relationship where clients feel safe to explore their experiences at their own pace. Working from a pluralistic framework allows him to adapt his approach to meet each client’s unique needs, drawing on different therapeutic methods while remaining grounded in person-centred principles such as empathy, congruence, and unconditional positive regard.

Will has experience working with a wide range of presenting issues, particularly within addiction and recovery. His work includes supporting clients with alcohol and dug use, as well as process addictions such as gaming, sex and relationship pattens, work addiction, and co-dependency dynamics. Will recognises addiction as often interconnected with trauma, identity, attachment pattens, and emotional regulation, and therefore works holistically to explore both behavioural pattens and underlying relational or emotional experiences. Alongside addiction work, he has supported clients navigating obsessive compulsive tendencies, anxiety, relationship and attachment struggles, workplace stress and burnout, and challenges linked to neurodiversity. His background in youth work and 1 1 coaching with individuals experiencing complex mental health difficulties informs a compassionate, practical, collaborative and grounded therapeutic style.

Will works with adults from diverse backgrounds who may be seeking support with emotional wellbeing, relational pattens, identity exploration, or life transitions. Clients often come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, and he offers a space to explore meaning, develop self-awareness, and build sustainable change. His approach values collaboration and client autonomy, encouraging individuals to identify what is most helpful for them rather than applying one size fits all model. He is particularly interested in supporting clients exploring pattens of relating, to themselves, others, and their behaviours and in helping clients strengthen self-understanding, resilience, and agency.
