About Geraldine
Geraldine Davenport offers a warm, person-centred approach to therapy. She combines over 20 years of UK practice with practical, down-to-earth support to help people feel more confident and able to cope. She helps with stress, anxiety and low mood.
She also supports people facing relationship pain, trauma and hurt from past relationships. Issues around self-esteem, grief, parenting and intimacy are part of her day-to-day work. Geraldine draws on client-centred methods to build a trusting space.
Background and approach
That means she listens first and helps people lead the pace and direction of sessions. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to spot repeating patterns that keep causing pain or difficulty. In sessions she focuses on what you need now.
That can include learning new ways to manage anxiety, improving communication, or making sense of difficult feelings from the past. She aims for practical steps you can use between appointments. Her background includes two decades working across the UK and supporting people through life changes and difficult relationships.
Geraldine is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is noted on her record. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions that fit their schedule. Therapy is tailored to each person, with a steady, compassionate approach aimed at lasting change.

Approaches Geraldine lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns from the past that keep showing up in relationships and day-to-day life. It can help people understand why they repeat certain behaviours and make different choices moving forward.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Geraldine works collaboratively to decide which ideas suit each person's goals and preferences. Together they review progress and adapt the focus as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different routines and circumstances. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and non-verbal cues, while phone calls can work better with limited bandwidth or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging fit people who prefer written reflection or need more frequent, brief contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and everyday commitments.
