Gez Sutherland , BACP

Gez Sutherland is a person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She brings a warm, non-judgemental presence to sessions and aims to create a space where clients can pause, be heard, and explore their feelings at a pace that feels safe and manageable. Gez emphasises individual experience and supports people in developing coping strategies, new perspectives, and practical skills to move from merely surviving toward a more fulfilling life.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, attachment and abandonment issues, body image, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and questions around life purpose and self-love. Gez also works with clients on matters such as pregnancy and childbirth, men’s issues, midlife transitions, and relationship challenges. She uses a client-centred approach that prioritises empathy and the client’s own goals in therapy.

Gez holds BACP credentials - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her professional affiliation with a UK counselling body. She conducts work in English and is not currently accepting new clients.

Client-centred support through online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the individual’s experience at the centre of the therapeutic relationship. In this approach Gez Sutherland listens with empathy, reflects the client’s feelings, and supports people to find their own solutions and sense of direction. It is often helpful for issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, and challenges with self-esteem or identity.

The work is collaborative - Gez aims to understand each person’s priorities and preferences and to adapt the pace and focus of sessions accordingly. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and she will discuss options with clients to decide what best fits their needs and goals.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for fitting support into everyday life. Video calls and phone sessions allow for more contact when in-person meetings are difficult to arrange, while live chat and text-based messaging can suit people who prefer shorter, more frequent check-ins or who find talking face-to-face challenging. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations and to choose the format that feels most comfortable and effective for the individual.
