Gerry Byrne, BACP
About me
I am credentialed in the UK with 11 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, relationship issues, & trauma and abuse. I work from a Pluralistic/Integrative style of therapy, which means working with people collaboratively to find the best solutions that works for them. I like the people I work with to be part of the therapeutic process as we strive for change together. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Gerry Byrne. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
He's always provided helpful support and advice tailored to me and is more than willing to work to my abilities and concerns wherever possible. It's never been a case where I've had to do things one way, it's always been a positive and healthy back and forth.

Gerry is great at understanding and listening to what I am saying and allowing me to express what I am going through. Through this process, he hears what I am going through and can relate or asks additional questions for me to explain and interpret what I am going through to try and understand why I am feeling like I am. He shows empathy and understanding and makes you feel comfortable when unloading your thoughts no matter how large or small they might seem. He makes you feel at ease and comfortable so I feel I can be open and honest at all times.
