Gez Sutherland, BACP

Gez Sutherland is a BACP counsellor with five years of experience supporting people through difficult times. She offers a calm, non-judgemental approach and creates space for clients to talk about what matters to them. Gez focuses on helping people find ways to cope and move towards a more fulfilling life rather than just getting by.

Clients can expect listening that is gentle and down-to-earth. Gez uses person-centred methods to reflect feelings, clarify what matters and help people decide their next steps. Sessions aim to build new perspectives and everyday skills for handling stress and strong emotions.

Gez has particular experience with anxiety and stress, relationship concerns, grief, trauma and depression. She also supports people wrestling with issues such as attachment and abandonment, body image, communication and control, and challenges around parenting and pregnancy. Practical struggles like panic attacks, guilt and shame, and midlife questions are also part of her practice.

Her style is patient and collaborative. Gez encourages people to set the pace and explore topics at a level that feels manageable. The emphasis is on understanding what someone is going through and finding realistic ways to cope.

If someone is unsure about starting therapy, Gez offers a brief initial conversation to answer questions and explain the process. This helps people decide whether to take the next step and arrange regular sessions.

Person-centred approaches and online therapy options

Gez uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means she will focus on listening closely and reflecting what a person is feeling. This approach helps with anxiety, depression, relationship worries and grief by making space to understand emotions and personal priorities.

The therapist views the work as collaborative. Together they will consider whether client-centred methods fit the person’s needs and goals. Gez will help decide approaches and pace based on what the person wants to address and how they prefer to work.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video calls are useful when visual connection helps the conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or want flexible, brief contact between longer sessions.

These online formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel. Registered and accredited professionals can use the range of formats to tailor the experience and adjust how they work together as needs change.
