Geraldine Houston , BACP

Geraldine Houston is a UK-licensed therapist with eight years of professional experience, committed to working with people in a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate way. She adapts conversation and treatment plans to reflect each person's individual circumstances, priorities, and goals, believing that therapeutic work should be shaped around the client rather than a fixed protocol. Geraldine recognizes that taking steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life requires courage, and she aims to provide steady support and encouragement throughout that process.

She holds the BACP credential, which indicates professional membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and reflects adherence to established professional standards. Geraldine focuses on empowering people to build resilience, make meaningful changes, and find clearer ways forward when dealing with issues such as loss, trauma, addiction, stress, relationship difficulties, and challenges to self-esteem. Her approach is practical and person-centered, guiding clients to identify realistic goals and to develop strategies that fit their lives. Geraldine offers collaborative care designed to support long-term wellbeing and personal growth.

Evidence-based techniques and accessible online care

Geraldine applies evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are tailored to the specific issues each person brings. She draws on structured, goal-oriented methods that help clients clarify priorities, build coping strategies, and make measurable progress with difficulties such as depression, anxiety, and stress. She also integrates trauma-informed approaches for those coping with past harm or abuse, focusing on stabilisation, safety, and gradual processing at a pace that feels manageable.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Geraldine works with clients to explore which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress develops so that therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people juggling work, family, or other commitments. Geraldine provides support via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that fits their life. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access licensed professionals from different locations, and receive help in ways that suit individual routines and comfort levels.
