About Geraldine
Geraldine Theobald is a BACP counsellor with 16 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, ADHD and life changes, and also works with LGBT issues. Gerry draws on person-centred values to offer a warm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through what feels difficult.
She practises with Carl Rogers' core conditions of empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard at the centre of her work. Geraldine uses Client-Centred Therapy together with mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to help people manage emotions and take practical steps forward. Sessions aim to build on a person's strengths and to identify blocks that get in the way of change.
Gerry has extensive experience in higher education settings, supporting students aged 18 to 25 and postgraduate learners with transitions, homesickness, study pressures and financial responsibilities. She has also worked with a wide range of university staff and understands how work stress can affect daily life and wellbeing.
Her approach is collaborative and tailored to the individual. Geraldine will adapt conversations and plans to fit each person's needs and circumstances. She emphasises the importance of the therapeutic relationship and helps people explore thoughts, feelings and behaviour to increase self-understanding.
Geraldine follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework and aims to empower people as they take steps towards change. She offers support with issues including abandonment, attachment concerns, communication and caregiver stress among others.
How Geraldine's approaches work online and in practice
Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens with empathy and helps the person find their own insights and solutions, which suits people who want a respectful, non-directive space to talk.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. It can help with anxiety, stress and keeping perspective during big life changes by building steadier attention and calmer responses.
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps that move a person towards their goals. Sessions often focus on strengths, what has worked before, and achievable next steps rather than only on problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Geraldine will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person's needs, goals and preferences, and may blend elements from different approaches as appropriate.
