I am glad that I was connected to Gerald. I was undiagnosed adult ADHD and I am a masking type. I was diagnosed by a psychiatrist one year before I met Gerald, however, my psychiatrist didn't recommend me to initiate the ADHD medication as I had "mild symptoms". I wouldn't know that my internal problems were somewhat associated with untreated ADHD if it weren't for Gerald. He guided me through a way to reconnect with myself by understanding my true self while recommending I seek the proper method to treat my underlying risk factor - which in my case, ADHD. I am still on the journey to embrace myself but I can tell that my journey would have been much slower or even would not have started if I hadn't discussed my problems with Gerald. Gerald might say that it was all me who achieved it but I really want to appreciate his companionship to support my journey. Thank you, Gerald.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Gerald has completely changed my life. He has shown me how to truly enjoy life. Hiring Gerald to be my therapist was the best decision I have ever made.
Over the years I have had need for counselling on more than one or two occasions. None have been as productive as those with Gerald. His kindness and professional manner gave me a lot of confidence to stay with him and to pay attention . Sessions with Gerald are times I look forward to.
Gerald is a patient man and a good listener. I appreciate a little bit of structure, and his use of both conversation and 'take home' worksheets actually made it easy for me to articulate what my real insecurities were. Our interaction has been something transformational for me, and I am truly in a better place in my life with my friends and family than before I met Gerald.
Gerald has helped me in so many ways. He’s very intelligent and understanding. Gerald has undoubtedly changed my life for the better.
Very intuitive, clear with his approach, supportive, helps you with finding what your goals should be and how to navigate and grow to get there. So far all my sessions have been eye opening.
