About Geraldine

She has 16 years of clinical experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Much of her background is in higher education counselling where she worked with students and university staff.
Background and approach
That work gave her a clear view of pressures such as study demands, work stress and balancing new responsibilities. Geraldine draws on person-centred ideas that emphasise empathy, genuineness and acceptance. She combines those with mindfulness techniques to help reduce overwhelm and with solution-focused strategies to set achievable steps forward.
Sessions aim to be practical and relevant to everyday life. In the room she takes a warm and respectful stance. She helps people spot strengths, identify unhelpful patterns and try small, manageable changes.
Conversations and plans are tailored to each person’s needs and preferences. Her style is collaborative. Geraldine encourages clients to be active partners in their progress and to set goals that matter to them.
She offers a steady, non-judgemental space to think things through and plan the next steps.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.
Practical approaches for online therapy
Geraldine uses person-centred work to make sessions feel respectful and focused on the person’s experience. That approach centres on empathy, genuineness and acceptance so conversations aim to help someone make sense of feelings and choices.She also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice and calm unhelpful thoughts and bodily tension. Mindfulness techniques are useful for anxiety, stress and managing overwhelming moments. Solution-focused methods are used to break down goals into small, practical steps and to identify what is already working in a person’s life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Geraldine will talk with clients about their needs, goals and preferences, and then suggest ways of working to try. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adapted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are close to in-person dialogue, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options help fit therapy around work, study or family commitments and make support more accessible.
