Her experience of working with sexual trauma and complex PTSD includes Supervision of therapists working with abuse and designing services that best support survivors. She uses Herman’s three stage model to ensure clinical safety whilst helping clients build resilience and move to connection and post-traumatic growth.

Gerry has a particular interest in Attachment Theory and how it influences relationships across the life span.

Her passion is guiding others to fine-tune their repertoire of theory and skills to allow the client to recover and the therapist to develop safe, reflective practice.
