Gez Sutherland, BACP

Gez Sutherland is a BACP counsellor who offers person-centred support for people feeling overwhelmed. She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through what matters to them and find ways to cope. Gez writes in a warm, straightforward way and invites a simple first conversation to answer questions before any commitment.

Gez works from a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience at the heart of sessions. That means she listens closely, follows the client's pace, and reflects what comes up in the room so people feel heard and understood. Sessions focus on practical steps and changes that help reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping.

She commonly supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Additional areas she addresses include abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and issues around life purpose and self-love.

With five years of practice, Gez brings straightforward empathy and steady presence. Her work is aimed at helping people move from merely coping towards greater fulfilment and clearer perspective. She encourages small experiments and new ways of relating to difficult feelings.

If someone is unsure about therapy, Gez invites a brief chat first. That conversation is a chance to ask practical questions, describe what’s been happening, and decide if the next step feels right.

How a person-centred approach works online

Gez practises Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on understanding your experience and offering empathic, non-judgemental listening. The therapist reflects what you say and helps you find your own answers, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, grief and relationship challenges.

That collaborative stance means the therapist follows your pace. Together you decide goals and the way to work on them. Gez will help you shape sessions around what feels most helpful, whether that is talking through recent events, working on self-worth, or trying new ways to relate to strong feelings.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel and letting sessions take place from where you usually are. Different practical formats have different strengths, so confirm the exact session options before booking. Many people find online sessions help maintain continuity between appointments and allow quicker access for a brief check-in when needed.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Gez will discuss what feels best for each person based on needs, goals and preferences.
