Geraldine Houston , BACP

Geraldine Houston is a UK-licensed therapist with eight years of professional experience and holds accreditation from the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She practices with an emphasis on respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping each session to meet the particular needs of the person she is supporting.

Geraldine adapts her conversations and treatment plans to reflect each individual’s circumstances, recognising that what helps one person may not suit another. She views the decision to seek therapy as a courageous first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life, and she approaches that work with a focus on support and empowerment.

Clients can expect a collaborative process in which Geraldine listens carefully, responds with empathy, and helps identify practical steps toward change. Her aim is to create a therapeutic experience that honours each client’s unique goals and pace, providing steady professional guidance throughout the journey.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Remote Support

Geraldine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are tailored to each person’s needs. Skills-based interventions focus on practical strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and mood difficulties by building coping skills and emotional regulation tools that can be applied in daily life.

Trauma-informed work helps people who have experienced abuse or other distressing events to process those experiences at a pace that feels safe, reducing the ongoing impact on relationships and wellbeing. Relational and family-focused approaches explore patterns in relationships and communication, offering ways to improve connection, resolve conflicts, and address family dynamics that affect mental health.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Geraldine works collaboratively with clients to identify goals and preferences, and to decide which techniques best match their needs and circumstances.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access support from different locations. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and communication style, enabling clients to receive consistent care in ways that suit them best.
