Lovely woman who has been nothing but supportive

Reviewed December 2024

Geraldine has helped me greatly since we started working together a few months ago. She has helped me explore aspects of my childhood and has helped me improve my relationship with my mother. She is always there to listen and is very open minded and nonjudgemental. I'm very grateful for all we have done so far and it's great to know she will continue to be there to support me in the future to help me make sense of everything life throws at me and to help me catch myself when I start overthinking!

Hi I'm Gerri and I am licensed in the UK with 17 years of professional work experience.

In these uncertain times, our mental health and well-being is being put under greater strain. This can impact your relationships and family life, you may be feeling anxious, stressed concerned about your finances, work or your business, or you could be feeling depressed and lonely.

Healthy relationships are essential to our happiness, and yet all relationships face challenges, whether this be a romantic relationship or issues with family, friends or work colleagues. Some of these can be communication issues, not feeling heard, managing conflict, parenting, trust, affairs, feeling unwanted or overwhelmed.

Reaching out and getting the support you need can make a huge difference.

I know how confusing it can be to understand your emotions, I will help you to make the changes necessary to move forward with your life.

I will help you to reduce your stress, anxiety and improve your self-esteem and confidence.

Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and seem overwhelming, so thank you for reading my profile. I'm looking forward to us working together.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Geraldine is very lovely and warm. Her professional yet friendly approach really puts me at ease during our therapy sessions. She really makes me feel safe and listened too, whilst offering gentle and practical advice for me to do achieve in-between our sessions. My problems don't seem quite so big or scary after speaking with her.
