Integrative approaches and online therapy options
Gerry uses client-centred methods that put the person and their experience at the heart of the work - this approach focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship, listening without judgement, and helping people draw on their own strengths to tackle issues such as low self-esteem, grief, or relationship problems. He also incorporates cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which involves identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours to relieve symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress. Motivational interviewing is another tool he uses to support people facing ambivalence about change - it helps to explore personal motivations and build commitment to steps like reducing substance use or improving health behaviours.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Gerry works collaboratively with clients to choose whatever combination best fits their goals, preferences and life circumstances. He tailors the pace and focus of sessions to match what each person needs and to support practical progress.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and mobility needs. These options increase accessibility and allow continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult, while still enabling personal contact and targeted therapeutic work with licensed professionals.
