About Geraldine
Geraldine Houston is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with people facing anxiety, depression and life changes. She supports concerns such as panic attacks, grief, addiction and relationship stress. Geraldine aims to meet each person with sensitivity and respect and to make starting therapy as straightforward as possible.
She has eight years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which appears on her profile as BACP. Geraldine says she tailors conversations and a treatment plan to match what each person needs. Sessions focus on practical steps and on helping people notice what makes life harder and what helps them feel steadier.
Clients can expect a calm, empathic style that emphasises collaboration. Geraldine encourages people to set small, achievable goals and to try techniques between sessions. She speaks English and is able to work with people from other countries when arrangements suit both sides.
Her practice covers a wide range of issues, from stress and low self-esteem to more complex areas like trauma, bipolar mood concerns and addiction. She also offers support around parenting strain, career pressure and feelings of isolation. The emphasis is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.
If someone wants to begin, they use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule a session according to the therapist's availability. Geraldine aims to empower people as they make changes and to help them build skills they can use after therapy ends.
How evidence-based approaches fit into online therapy
Geraldine describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and symptom relief. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and then practices new ways of coping. This can be useful for panic attacks, anxiety and low mood. Another approach involves pacing change and building small goals to reduce overwhelm, which supports people managing addiction, stress and life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Geraldine will discuss options with each person, listen to their goals and preferences, and adapt methods as therapy progresses. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and reviewed over time so the plan suits the person's needs.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, remove travel time and allow short check-ins when needed. They also allow people to work from a familiar place and to keep sessions brief or longer depending on what works best for daily life.
