About Geraldine
Geraldine Houston helps people facing a wide range of concerns. She supports those dealing with anxiety, depression, addictions, grief and stress. She also helps people with self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and challenges such as ADHD and bipolar conditions.
Geraldine keeps conversations straightforward and respectful. She adapts each session to what the person brings, and she builds a plan based on individual needs. Her approach is warm and practical, aiming to help people make manageable changes in day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Geraldine has eight years of professional experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP. That registration is listed as her professional credential.
Sessions are conversational and focused on real problems and practical steps. Geraldine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and explains methods in clear language. She helps people work through problems like trauma, addiction, eating concerns, parenting strain and career stress.
People can expect a collaborative relationship where goals are set together. Geraldine supports those coping with loss, long-term illness, control issues, domestic violence aftermath, hoarding, and feelings of isolation. She also addresses cancer-related distress, hospice and end-of-life counselling needs, fertility worries and issues around abandonment.
Geraldine offers work that aims to be steady and compassionate. She encourages small, sustainable changes and helps people find ways to manage mood disorders, compassion fatigue and everyday pressures. Her style is patient, practical and centred on the person in front of her.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Geraldine will talk through different methods and tailor the plan to a person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client decide what feels most useful and adjust as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility that fits busy lives. Video calls give a face-to-face feel, phone sessions use less bandwidth when needed, live chat lets people type thoughts in real time and text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins and ongoing reflection. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
