Gez Sutherland is a person-centred counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She has five years of experience and works from a reflective, empathetic stance. Gez offers a calm place to talk when life feels overwhelming and helps people take small steps towards feeling steadier.

She aims to create a non-judgemental space where clients can slow down and make sense of difficult feelings. Conversations focus on what matters to the individual and on building coping approaches that fit their life.

Background and approach

Gez encourages people to find new perspectives and practical ways to manage stress, anxiety and low mood. Gez commonly supports people facing grief, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also pays attention to issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, and panic attacks.

Sessions often look at communication, control issues, guilt or shame, and questions about life purpose and self-worth. Her work is person-centred, which means she listens closely and follows the client’s pace rather than imposing solutions. This approach suits people who want to be understood and guided to their own answers, rather than being told what to do.

Gez can tailor how she works to the individual’s needs and preferences. To begin, she invites an initial chat to answer questions and discuss next steps. Conversations are simple and practical, focused on helping people feel less overwhelmed and more able to move forward.

Person-centred support online and how it helps

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and understanding. The therapist follows the client’s lead, helping the person to clarify feelings and make choices that suit them. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, relationship worries, grief and recovery from past abuse.

Gez will work together with each person to decide what feels most helpful. She aims to match the way she works to a person's goals and pace, and will adapt based on how someone responds. Choosing an approach is collaborative rather than fixed, and can change over time as needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option and suit people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can work for shorter check-ins, regular journalling-style work or when written reflection feels easier. These options make it straightforward to fit therapy around work, family commitments and travel.
