Focus areas and approaches

Everything Geraldine lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Approaches that guide online work

Geraldine draws on well established therapeutic techniques that help people make changes in day-to-day life. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, then testing small changes to reduce distress and improve mood; this helps with anxiety, depression and coping with stress. Another approach emphasises understanding the impact of past hurt and loss, allowing people to process trauma and grief at a pace that feels manageable.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Geraldine will talk through options, listen to your concerns and goals, and try a way of working that fits your needs. If something does not suit you, she will adjust the plan together with you rather than sticking to a single method.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls suit longer conversations and visual connection, while phone work can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
