About Geraldine
Geraldine Noel-Duke offers support for anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family concerns, eating and body-image issues, sleeping problems, parenting strains and career or life-change transitions. She also helps with intimacy-related worries, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar-related coping, compassion fatigue and practical coaching around wellbeing. Geraldine's first aim is to reduce immediate distress and help people find clearer ways forward.
She uses a mix of talking and practical tools.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters to the person sitting in front of her. Geraldine draws on cognitive tools to spot unhelpful thinking, emotion-focused work to deepen understanding of connection and attachment, and acceptance-based ideas to build new ways of living with difficult feelings.
Geraldine has worked in therapy, social care, education and youth services for 25 years in the United Kingdom and internationally. Over the past 15 years she has also supported people through career coaching and wellness-focused work, including nutrition-related inputs. Her experience covers one-to-one therapeutic work alongside presentations and programme delivery.
She tailors her approach to each person, combining elements from several methods rather than following a single formula. That means sessions can include goal-focused conversation, reflective emotional work and practical exercises to try between appointments. The emphasis is on collaboration, clarity and steps you can use outside the session.
Evening hours are offered on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, with additional availability on Friday afternoons. Sessions are arranged to suit each person's schedule and the format can be adapted to what works best for them.

How Geraldine’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and to take small actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems going. It is useful for stress, sleep problems, eating concerns and depressive symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can be helpful for relationship, intimacy and family-related difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Geraldine will talk with each person about their needs and goals, then suggest which methods to try first. That choice is collaborative and can change as work progresses to make sure the approach fits the person’s preferences and aims.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues for emotional work, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options aim to help people fit therapy around work and home life while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional understanding.
