About Gerard
Gerard Quinn is a counsellor who helps people dealing with anxiety, stress, grief and a wide range of life challenges. He works with issues such as depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictive behaviours and sleep difficulties. Gerard also supports people facing career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD and identity matters including LGBT issues.
He uses a Person Centred approach to therapy. That means sessions focus on the person in front of him, and on their experience.
Background and approach
Gerard aims to listen closely, reflect what he hears, and help people spot their own strengths and choices. Sessions are straightforward and conversational rather than full of technical language. Gerard trained as a Person Centred counsellor and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
He brings four years of practice experience and says his own life challenges shaped his wish to support others. That background informs a down-to-earth style and steady presence in sessions. People often seek Gerard for a mix of problems, including body image, chronic illness, attachment concerns, and issues around kink and alternative sex culture.
He also works with those coping with bereavement, abandonment worries, control and commitment difficulties, and change after a disaster. Sessions are available in English and Gerard accepts international clients. He offers a calm, accepting space where people can talk through painful feelings and build practical coping skills.
The goal is clearer choices and more confidence in daily life.
Client-Centred care adapted for online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what is said, and helps the client discover their own resources and choices. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, grief and struggles about identity or relationships.Gerard describes his style as calm and conversational. He works together with clients to decide which ways of working suit them best, and adjusts his approach as needs and goals become clearer. Finding the right therapeutic fit is treated as a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or want flexible, ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel, and to keep continuity when circumstances change.
