About Geraldine

Geraldine Houston is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression and addictions. She approaches each person with respect and sensitivity. Geraldine aims to create a calm space where people can speak honestly about what is worrying them.

She works collaboratively to shape conversations and a plan that fit each person's situation. Sessions are tailored to what a person wants to achieve, whether that is coping with grief, managing stress, or addressing relationship and intimacy-related problems.

Background and approach

Geraldine also supports people facing fertility worries, cancer, end-of-life matters and other life transitions. Geraldine has eight years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background informs a practical style that focuses on what helps in everyday life.

She aims to be warm and straightforward in session rather than using jargon. People often come for help with self-esteem, parenting pressures, ADHD, or mood and bipolar concerns. Geraldine talks through patterns, reactions and practical coping steps so people can try changes between sessions.

She also offers support for addiction, domestic violence aftermath, hoarding and feelings of isolation. Her approach is adaptive and centred on the person's goals. Geraldine encourages small, manageable steps and checks progress together.

This makes the work feel realistic and easier to fit into a busy life.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Geraldine lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Geraldine draws on established therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach focuses on processing distressing memories and learning how to respond differently to reminders of past trauma so daily life is less affected.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Geraldine collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, current needs and personal preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and use screen-based resources. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit around a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short check-ins and written reflection between sessions. These options make it possible to keep continuity of care across different locations and schedules, and to pick formats that suit how someone prefers to communicate.
