About Geraldine
Geraldine Houston is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has eight years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with a broad range of concerns that include anxiety, stress, depression, addictions, grief and self-esteem. Geraldine also supports people facing relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, and life changes such as divorce or bereavement.
Her approach is conversational and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and manageable steps rather than jargon. Geraldine adapts what happens in session to the issues someone brings, whether that is coping with social anxiety, dealing with trauma and abuse, or handling workplace stress.
She pays attention to how problematic patterns show up day to day. That might mean talking through relationship habits, working through feelings after loss, or planning for changes in routine when mood or energy shifts. Geraldine encourages small, realistic experiments between sessions to test new ways of acting and thinking.
People can expect direct, plain feedback and a focus on what helps most now. Geraldine’s methods aim to reduce overwhelm and increase practical skills for handling difficult moments. Over time this can support steadier mood, clearer decision making, and better management of triggers and cravings.
Geraldine works in English and accepts international clients. Before a first session she asks people to complete a short questionnaire so she can match their needs and plan an initial appointment.
Approaches used and online therapy practicalities
Geraldine works with well established, evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building coping skills. One common approach she uses helps people notice and test the thoughts that fuel anxiety and low mood, so they can try different responses and see what works in daily life. Another approach targets behaviours - breaking tasks into small steps, planning manageable exposures, and practising new habits that reduce avoidance and build confidence.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Geraldine will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit current goals and preferences. That collaborative planning means strategies can be adjusted as progress is observed or priorities change.
The biography does not state which online session formats are provided, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a day at work. It also lets people take part from different locations when international time zones require flexibility. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use this flexibility to make regular sessions more practical for everyday life.
