About Geraldine
Geraldine Theobald is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with 16 years' clinical practice. She lists stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, ADHD, addictions and LGBT concerns among her focus areas. Geraldine also notes work with issues such as abandonment, attachment, and autism spectrum conditions.
She trained to Master’s level in person-centred counselling and psychotherapy and has worked in a higher education setting for many years. That role involved supporting students aged 18–25 and postgraduate researchers, alongside university staff in a range of roles. This background gives her a practical understanding of transitions, study pressures and work-related stress.
Geraldine bases her work on Carl Rogers’ core conditions - empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard - and follows the BACP Ethical Framework. She draws on mindfulness and solution-focused approaches to help people manage emotions and take practical steps towards change.
Sessions are collaborative. She works with clients to spot strengths, identify blocks and consider small, achievable changes. Conversations aim to clarify what matters and explore options for everyday coping.
Her experience includes supporting people with ADHD and autism spectrum differences, and with concerns around commitment, communication and control. Geraldine describes working respectfully and without judgement while following professional standards.
To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the online therapy options button. The service uses a cancellable subscription model for sessions, with fees that vary by location.
How her approaches are used in online therapy
Geraldine draws on person-centred practice, mindfulness and solution-focused methods in her work. Person-centred practice means the therapist listens closely and works from your priorities, helping you make sense of what you are facing and to identify personal strengths.Mindfulness involves simple attention and breathing exercises to help manage stress and reduce reactivity. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with overwhelming moments. Solution-focused work looks at small, practical steps and past successes to build momentum and change, often suited to goal-focused concerns like study pressures or workplace boundaries.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Geraldine will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and then agree a way forward together. The first sessions are used to establish what feels most helpful and to set practical next steps.
Check the online therapy options before booking so you know which session formats are offered at the time. Many people choose online sessions to fit therapy around study, work or caring responsibilities and to reduce travel time. Others prefer shorter check-ins when schedules are busy or audio-only contact when video is difficult; confirm the available formats when you book so sessions fit your everyday life.
