There comes a moment in life when you need to pause and look within.

Have you considered where you have traveled so far? Do you feel that you are where you wanted to be, or have you found yourself being pulled in another direction?

You may find yourself worried about the future, caught in cycles of overthinking, or burdened by expectations. Stopping the thoughts that leave you feeling inadequate, lost, or disconnected can be challenging.

Perhaps you seem to hold it together on the outside, but inside, things feel messy. You might question whether the life you've created feels truly yours. You sense that there must be more to life, but the path forward is unclear.

Maybe you're facing challenges in your relationships, whether at home, at work, or even within yourself. You find it hard to ask for what you need or to set boundaries, leaving you feeling like you’ve let yourself down once again.

You could be tired of going in circles, attempting to find clarity, love, purpose, or simply a sense of calm, only to end up right back where you started.

When life feels like this, it becomes difficult to focus, connect, or be effective; everything can start to feel noisy, overwhelming, and out of sync.

Therapy-informed coaching provides you with a way to pause, reflect, and reconnect. It offers a space to gently explore how you arrived at this point and to map out a new path forward, one that feels more grounded, intentional, and true to you.

“Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” – Carl Jung

What can I help you with?

I help with a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges — specialising in helping people navigate life's crossroads with greater self-awareness and clarity.

A powerful combination of therapy and person-centred coaching enables you to move forward. Some of the areas I support include:

Anxiety, overthinking and worrying  
Overcome the inner obstacles that keep you stuck in survival mode — from paralysing anxiety and panic attacks to racing thoughts, insomnia, and compulsive overthinking. Together, we'll work gently with what's underneath the surface, helping you feel more grounded and in control.

ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence  
Learn how to manage emotional overwhelm, attention differences, or executive functioning struggles in a way that works for you. We'll explore how to honour your needs, reduce burnout, and discover your unique strengths, with support that understands the bigger picture.

Relationships  
Navigate conflict, codependency, and communication struggles in your relationships — whether with a partner, family member, or friend. I'll help you understand your relational patterns, build better boundaries, and ask for what you need with more confidence.

Self-esteem and confidence  
Unpick the critical inner voice and rebuild a stronger relationship with yourself. Together, we'll explore what shaped your self-worth and how to shift unhelpful beliefs so you can show up more fully in your life, work, and relationships.

Life and career transitions  
Whether you're questioning your current path or navigating a significant life change, we'll work through the uncertainty together. I'll help you reconnect with what matters to you and make aligned decisions from a place of clarity, not fear.

Stress and burnout  
Feeling constantly 'on'? Struggling to slow down or switch off? I'll help you understand the roots of your stress response, build healthier boundaries, and create space for rest, reflection, and renewal — especially if you're used to doing it all. it all.

About me

With over 15 years of experience in corporate leadership, I have a grounded, real-world understanding of stress, performance, and emotional well-being. I hold an MSc and am a registered psychotherapist, therapeutic coach, and author. I am passionate about helping individuals transition from self-doubt to self-leadership. My areas of expertise include anxiety, overthinking, and identity work, and I advocate for self-awareness as the foundation for meaningful and lasting change. My approach is warm and practical, focused on helping you reconnect with your true self, beyond the roles you play or the pressures you face.

Location & Availability

I offer both face to face sessions in Cheadle (Staffordshire Moorlands) and also telephone and online sessions via Zoom.  Visit gericarey.com for free resources, more information and to book an appointment with me.

Starting Therapeutic Coaching with me usually looks like this:

1. Initial contact. You can email me or fill in the contact form with a brief overview of what’s going on for you and what kind of support you are looking for. I’ll get back to you as soon as I can to confirm whether I have availability that fits your schedule. If I do, we’ll arrange a free phone consultation.

2. Free 15-minute phone consultation. This is a relaxed and informal chat to help us get a sense of whether we’re a good fit. I’ll ask a few questions about what’s bringing you to therapy and explain how I work. If it feels right to continue, we’ll book your first session.

3. Assessment session (£85 for 60 minutes). This is a full therapeutic session where we begin to explore your story, what you’d like support with, and how I can help. It’s also a space for you to experience how I work and decide if it feels like the right fit. There is no pressure to commit beyond this session.

4. First three sessions (£255 for 3 x 60 minutes). If you would like to continue, these are bookable and payable in advance and cost £255 (3 x £85). We will continue getting to know each other and clarifying what you want to focus on in our work together. At the end of the third session, we review how it’s going. If three sessions feel enough for you, thats ok.

5. Ongoing sessions. These are booked in blocks of five, payable in advance. If you ever can't make a session, I do my best to reschedule it, if there is availability, Most clients come for around 15/20 sessions, although some come for longer. We usually start off with weekly sessions but may decide to move to fortnightly once the work is underway.

What to expect in your Assessment Session

This is your chance to pause and begin looking inward. We’ll take time to explore what’s been going on for you and what you’re hoping to get from the process. You don’t need to have it all figured out , just a willingness to start the conversation.

Together, we’ll begin a shared assessment to help us both understand what’s going on beneath the surface. This helps you reflect on what’s working, what’s not, and where you'd like things to feel different. We’ll also start to shape your goals and, where helpful, I’ll offer practical tools you can begin using straight away.

Therapeutic coaching creates space to be seen and heard in a new way. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for something to shift, the first session is a chance to immerse yourself in the process and see how it feels.

You’ll leave feeling welcomed, supported, and clearer about what we’ll focus on together.

Some clients come for short-term focused support, while others stay longer term to explore deeper patterns and create lasting change. It’s always your choice, and we will regularly review what feels right for you.
