How Geraldine works
Her work combines talking therapy with coaching techniques and lifestyle guidance where useful. Sessions aim to be pragmatic and collaborative. Geraldine listens to what matters most and helps people set small, manageable goals.
She uses tools from cognitive behavioural approaches and emotionally-focused work to help notice patterns and change unhelpful habits. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live by their values, and on attachment-based thinking to improve close relationships. Those methods are blended to fit each person rather than applied in a fixed sequence.
Geraldine offers evening and some afternoon appointments and uses a mixture of online formats. People find this helpful when juggling work, family and other commitments. The focus is on clear steps, steady progress and restoring a sense of control.

How Geraldine’s approaches work in online therapy
Geraldine uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating-related concerns because it gives practical skills to test and adjust daily habits.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand and shift patterns in close relationships and attachment-based approaches to explore how early bonding influences current reactions. Both help with connection, communication and resolving emotional distance.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Geraldine will discuss your needs and goals and suggest a blend of methods that fits your situation. She adapts techniques as progress is made, so the plan can change if something is not working.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper therapy work and visual connection. Phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or for short check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit quick reflections, scheduling or ongoing coaching-style contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments and to keep momentum between sessions.
