Gareth Stockley

Gareth brings a calm, compassionate, and deeply client-centred approach to recovery. Since beginning his own sobriety journey in 2015, he discovered a passion for helping others reconnect with themselves and create meaningful, lasting change. After retraining in counselling in 2020, he has worked across several rehabilitation centres and found his true purpose supporting people on their recovery journey.

Holding a Diploma of Counselling with majors in Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD) and Mindfulness, Gareth has also completed additional training in breathwork, relaxation techniques, yoga, and hypnosis. His therapeutic approach is strongly influenced by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), believing that every person already holds the answers within themselves. His role is to help clients clear away the obstacles, reconnect with their values, and turn insight into practical, sustainable action.

Clients often describe Gareth as approachable, non-judgemental, and someone who creates a safe space where they feel comfortable opening up. He believes recovery is about much more than overcoming addiction—it's about rediscovering who you are, rebuilding self-trust, and creating the freedom to truly flourish rather than simply survive.

Outside of Kembali, Gareth has a passion for the ocean and enjoys stand-up paddleboarding, surfing, breathwork, and climbing Indonesia's volcanoes. His genuine enthusiasm for personal growth and living a balanced life is reflected in the way he supports every client who walks through Kembali's doors.
