About Geraldine
Her practice includes focused work in pregnancy care and post-abortion counselling, areas she describes as close to her heart. Geraldine aims to create an open atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of criticism, and she prioritises building a warm, trusting relationship that helps clients feel accepted as they are.
In work with substance use and recovery she uses Motivational Interviewing alongside the cycle of change, and she integrates solution-focused and person-centred methods to help people identify practical steps forward. As an active listener who values ongoing professional development, she is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and follows its code of ethics. Geraldine considers it an honour to support people on their journeys, whether for a short time or longer-term, offering steady presence and encouragement throughout the process.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Geraldine draws on client-centred therapy to create a supportive space where the client leads the conversation and personal values guide the pace of change - an approach that helps with building self-esteem and exploring emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when used, offers practical techniques to identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop coping strategies for issues like anxiety and low mood. Motivational Interviewing is employed especially in work around addictions, helping people resolve ambivalence and find internal motivation for change.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Geraldine works with each person to explore which methods feel most suitable for their needs, goals and preferences, and she may blend techniques to create a tailored plan of support. Licensed professionals commonly adapt their approach as therapy progresses to best meet evolving concerns.
Online therapy with Geraldine is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home or while travelling, allow a choice of communication style, and support continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
