Sessions & fees

Person-centred support and online counselling options

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than techniques. The therapist listens without judgment and helps the individual find their own solutions. This approach suits people who want a steady, respectful space to talk about anxiety, depression, relationships or identity concerns.

Gerard treats finding the right way of working as a collaborative process. He will discuss goals and preferences and adapt the sessions accordingly. Together they decide which methods and pace suit the individual’s needs and life circumstances.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when more face-to-face contact helps progress. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or being on camera is a problem. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins or a way to work that fits around busy schedules and different time zones.

These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life. Gerard will work with each person to choose the format that best supports their goals and routine.
