How Gerrard’s approaches translate to online work
Gerrard uses person-centred ideas and emotionally-focused methods to guide his work. Person-centred therapy emphasises listening, empathy and working at a pace set by the client; it helps when someone needs a non-judgemental space to talk things through. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding emotions and the patterns they create in relationships and personal life, which can be useful for intimacy issues and attachment concerns.He also makes use of motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change, and solution-focused ideas to set short-term, practical goals. Choosing the right mix is collaborative - the therapist will discuss options and agree a way forward based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing a single method.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions more easily into a busy week and cutting travel time. Online therapy can make it simpler to have a shorter check-in between meetings or to choose a quieter time of day when concentration is better.
