Gerry is great at understanding and listening to what I am saying and allowing me to express what I am going through. Through this process, he hears what I am going through and can relate or asks additional questions for me to explain and interpret what I am going through to try and understand why I am feeling like I am. He shows empathy and understanding and makes you feel comfortable when unloading your thoughts no matter how large or small they might seem. He makes you feel at ease and comfortable so I feel I can be open and honest at all times.

I am credentialed in the UK with 11 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, relationship issues, & trauma and abuse. I work from a Pluralistic/Integrative style of therapy, which means working with people collaboratively to find the best solutions that works for them. I like the people I work with to be part of the therapeutic process as we strive for change together. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
