Background and approach
That work aims to reduce the hold of old hurts so people can build healthier connections going forward. Her approach blends client-centred therapy with psychodynamic ideas. Client-centred work means the conversation stays focused on the person in front of her.
Psychodynamic thinking looks at patterns and repeated themes that can influence current feelings and choices. Sessions are practical and paced to the individual. Geraldine aims to help people spot unhelpful patterns, try new ways of relating and develop everyday coping skills.
She balances emotional exploration with concrete steps that can be used between sessions. Geraldine is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works in English and sees people in the UK.

How Geraldine works online
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat across relationships and through time. Geraldine uses this way of working to help people understand how past experiences influence current feelings and choices, which can be useful for trauma, attachment issues and recurring relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Geraldine works collaboratively to decide what methods suit the individual's needs, goals and preferences. She adapts the balance between emotional exploration and practical coping strategies to match what the client wants to achieve.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when needed. It can also let people access a therapist while remaining where they already spend time, which often helps maintain consistency.
