How his approaches translate to online therapy
Gerrard draws on person-centred counselling and emotionally-focused work to help people name feelings and build stronger connections in their relationships. Person-centred therapy emphasises listening and understanding, helping people feel heard and supported as they talk through difficulties. Emotionally-focused ideas help people identify core emotions and change unhelpful patterns in close relationships.He also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to set clear goals and identify small, practical steps. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and needs to find their own reasons to change. Solution-focused techniques are used to build short-term plans and try out new behaviours that fit everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gerrard will discuss different ways of working with each person and decide together what feels most useful. This is a collaborative process that adapts as goals and needs change.
