About Gerard
Counsellor Gerard Quinn is a BACP member with four years' experience working in the United Kingdom. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction and relationship and intimacy-related issues. He also supports people with LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem and career questions.
Gerard works from a person-centred approach. That means sessions focus on what the client brings and on listening first. He aims to give people space to speak and to notice what matters to them most.
He says his own life experience shaped his choice of work. Gerard describes himself as someone who has faced difficult times and learned ways to keep going. He uses that experience to stay present with people who feel alone, unheard or overwhelmed.
In practice he talks things through with clients and looks at simple skills for managing mood and anxiety. He can help people think about coping strategies, day-to-day routines, and clearer ways to set boundaries. He will work at a pace the client is comfortable with.
Gerard is registered with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, BACP. He offers guidance on a wide range of issues including ADHD, compassion fatigue, bipolar mood concerns, and family and caregiving stress.

Person-centred work and online counselling
Gerard draws on person-centred practice. That involves listening closely and helping clients to clarify what matters to them. It is often useful for issues like low mood, anxiety, self-worth and relationship concerns because it keeps the client's perspective central.He also focuses on practical coping skills within that framework. This means talking through day-to-day strategies for managing sleep, stress, anger or difficult emotions, and trying simple steps between sessions to see what helps.
Finding the right way to work is part of the process. Gerard aims to agree with each client how to proceed, adjusting approach, pace and goals together based on the person's needs and preferences.
