Gez Sutherland , BACP

Gez Sutherland draws on five years' experience as a BACP counsellor and psychotherapist to offer calm, steady support. She opens a simple, non-judgemental space where people can pause, talk, and begin to make small changes. Gez writes plainly and listens closely, helping clients find ways to cope and to feel more fulfilled rather than just getting by.

Her practice centres on person-centred work that puts the client’s experience first. Sessions focus on what matters to each person and move at a comfortable pace. Gez helps people to name difficult feelings, make sense of painful events, and try out different ways of responding in daily life.

People most often come for stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, depression, trauma and abuse. She also supports concerns such as body image, attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems, control issues, and midlife questions. Gez offers a calm, steady presence for those facing panic, post-traumatic stress or pregnancy-related worries.

In sessions she encourages practical steps as well as reflection. That might mean setting small goals, testing new ways of talking to others, or building routines that ease overwhelm. Conversations are direct but gentle, with time to reflect between topics.

Sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs. People can start by using the site’s matching process to choose a time and format that fits their life.

How person-centred therapy works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than a set of techniques. The therapist offers attentive listening, empathy and acceptance while you decide what to explore. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns and recovery after distressing events because it centres your own priorities and pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gez will collaborate with each person to decide how sessions should unfold, what to focus on and which practical steps to try. Together you will review what helps and adjust the plan as you go so therapy fits your goals and preferences.

Online formats make this collaborative work easier to fit into life. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who have lower bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief check-ins and flexibility for quick reflections between longer sessions. These options let people manage appointments around work, family and travel while keeping therapeutic momentum.
