About Geraldine
She trained at master's level in person-centred counselling and psychotherapy and draws on those core principles in her work. That means she focuses on empathy, honesty and offering a non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them. She also uses elements of mindfulness and solution-focused work to help with emotion management and practical change.
Much of her background is in university settings, working with students and university staff. This has given her familiarity with transitions, study and work stress, and the pressures of balancing responsibilities. She can help people identify boundaries and small adjustments that improve daily life and wellbeing.
In sessions she works collaboratively, helping people spot strengths and identify obstacles that hold them back. The aim is to tailor conversations and plans to each person's needs rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. Gerry emphasises the therapeutic relationship as central to progress.
People who choose her can expect a warm, professional and compassionate approach. She will listen, reflect and help you find steps that feel achievable as you work towards a more satisfying life.

How Geraldine uses person-centred and solution-focused work online
Geraldine works from a person-centred base which means she listens openly and responds with empathy and honesty to help people make sense of their feelings. This approach is useful for people dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem or the stress of life changes.She also draws on solution-focused methods that concentrate on what a person wants to change and on small, practical steps to get there. Those techniques are helpful when someone wants brief, goal-orientated work to manage day-to-day problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Geraldine will collaborate with each person to decide whether person-centred, mindfulness practices or solution-focused tools fit best given their goals and preferences. She adapts the pace and focus as needs evolve.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can be useful because it helps fit sessions into busy lives, reduces travel time and can make it easier to attend during breaks from study or work. Some people also find shorter check-ins or mindfulness exercises easier to manage remotely, and Geraldine will work with you to shape sessions that suit your everyday routine.
