How Gerard uses person-centred work online
Gerard’s main approach is person-centred therapy. That means sessions focus on the client’s experience and what matters to them. The counsellor listens closely and reflects back what he hears to help people find their own ways forward. This approach can help with anxiety, social fears, grief and relationship concerns.In conversation he also teaches simple coping skills and practical steps to try between sessions. Those skills are aimed at managing stress, improving sleep and reducing panic or avoidance in social situations. The emphasis is on small, achievable steps rather than complex techniques.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Gerard will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt the sessions together. This is a collaborative process that may change over time as needs shift.
