Recent reviews
I have been to a number of therapists over the years. Spent lots of money and many months seeing them and not one of them has moved me forward through my issues to the extent that Geraldine has in just 3 sessions. I felt immediately understood and seen and now understand how I can manage my issues when they occur. I simply can't recommend or praise Geraldine enough.

Hello. I'm Gerry a BACP Accredited therapist based in the UK.
I have 16 years clinical practice.
I am trained to Master's level in Person Centred Counselling and Psychotherapy and have worked in a Higher Education Setting for 16 years. In my capacity as a University counsellor I work with young people aged 18-25 years and have a good understanding of the difficulties they face including balancing transitions, homesickness, independence, study and financial responsibilities. I also work with PGR and PGT students.
Further to this, I have worked for many years with all University Staff, academics, cleaners, lecturers, administrators, security, and have a thorough understanding of how work stress affects daily functioning. I can help to offer support in establishing healthy boundaries and identifying changes one may need to make to establish a happier and more satisfying workplace,
My work is underpinned by Carl Roger's 'core Conditions' of Person-Centred Therapy, Empathy, Congruence and Unconditional Positive Regard and I always operate within the Ethical Framework of the BACP. Drawing on Mindfulness and Solution Focussed Therapy, I am able to help people manage their emotional health and make positive change.
Research has shown that the therapeutic relationship is central to effective therapy, therefore I believe it is important to choose the right counsellor for you. I work in a collaborative way to help you recognise your strengths or any blocks that are preventing you from achieving your full potential.
What I offer is a warm, professional, non-judgmental and confidential space to explore what is going on in your life.
Therapy gives you the opportunity to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviour so that you can develop a better understanding of yourself and others.
I also have experience of working with ASD and ADHD. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
