He also supports clients dealing with relationship strain, addiction and grief. Gerrard has worked with people affected by trauma and abuse and those navigating major life changes such as divorce or bereavement.
Background and approach
In sessions he focuses on listening carefully and matching his approach to each person's needs. He uses elements of emotionally-focused therapy to look at feelings in relationships, and motivational interviewing to help with change. Solution-focused ideas are used to set clear, practical goals and track progress.
Gerrard avoids labels and aims to treat people with sensitivity and respect. He pays attention to attachment-related issues, abandonment worries and parenting concerns when these come up. He also has experience supporting people facing addiction, codependency and the emotional effects of illness.
Sessions are available across the United Kingdom and he accepts international clients. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at helping people build coping skills, improve relationships and find steps forward. If someone wants to begin, Gerrard encourages them to take the first small step and reach out.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Gerrard often uses a person-centred approach that focuses on understanding the client's perspective and building a trusting relationship. This method helps people speak openly about stress, depression and relationship worries and works well in one-to-one online conversations.He also brings emotionally-focused therapy techniques to sessions when relationship feelings are central. EFT-style work helps people recognise and name emotions and how those emotions affect connection and intimacy. Motivational interviewing is used for goal-oriented change, such as reducing addictive behaviours or building new routines, and it suits shorter phone or chat check-ins as well as longer video sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gerrard will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and adapt methods together. He looks to balance practical steps with attention to feelings so the plan fits the person's life and aims.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a shorter break and use less bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging can serve as brief check-ins or to capture thoughts between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
