Background and approach

Gerard aims to help clients find small, useful steps that lead to change. Gerard trained as a person centred counsellor and is registered with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, BACP. His background includes four years of practice supporting people with a wide range of struggles.

He speaks English and works with clients in the United Kingdom as well as internationally. In therapy he helps people unpack feelings around abandonment, attachment and blended family strain. He also addresses body image, chronic illness, caregiving stress, and issues that arise in alternative sexual cultures including BDSM and kink.

Gerard brings a calm, accepting presence to difficult topics. Sessions can cover practical coping skills, ways to manage strong emotions, and ways to reconnect with what matters. He encourages honest conversation and steady progress.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions to suit their availability.

How person-centred care works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people access their own resources. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what a person says, asks open questions, and supports the person to discover solutions that suit them. This approach works well for concerns such as low mood, anxiety, relationship and identity struggles.

Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. Gerard will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their needs and goals. Together they will review what helps most and adapt sessions as things change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break at work. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, ongoing reflections or shorter, flexible exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy around daily life and different routines.
