She is a BACP counsellor with over 20 years of practice in the United Kingdom. Geraldine focuses on helping people build confidence, manage emotions and navigate life and work pressures.

She also supports people with career stress, parenting strain, anger and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency, blended family difficulties and challenges linked to autism and Asperger Syndrome.
Geraldine describes her style as practical and supportive. She listens without judgement and helps clients gain new perspectives. Therapy is paced to each person, with attention to developing coping strategies that fit everyday life.

How Geraldine’s approaches translate to online therapy
Geraldine uses client-centred therapy and psychodynamic therapy in her work and she adapts those ways of working to online settings. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s experience, offering empathic listening and encouragement so people can explore their feelings and decide on changes that suit them. This approach is often useful for concerns like anxiety, self-esteem and relationship stress.Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns that come from past relationships and experiences and how these affect current reactions. It helps people understand recurring feelings and behaviours, which can support work on trauma, attachment issues and longstanding emotional difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Geraldine works collaboratively with each person to choose what fits best. She discusses goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and together they adjust the approach as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so it is best to confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can make fitting sessions around work and family responsibilities easier, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Geraldine aims to help clients integrate therapy into everyday life in a way that supports ongoing work and wellbeing.
