Geraldine Theobald, BACP

Geraldine Theobald helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, life changes, ADHD, addictions and LGBT-related concerns. Gerry is a BACP counsellor with 16 years of practice in higher education settings. She writes in a warm, straightforward way and aims to create an accepting space for people to talk about what matters to them.

Gerry draws on Person-Centred or Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and understanding. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice and manage difficult thoughts and feelings. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to help identify practical steps and small changes that make a difference.

Her background includes long-term work within a university environment, supporting students and staff across a range of roles and pressures. That experience has given her insight into study stress, balancing changing responsibilities, and workplace strain. Gerry describes her work as collaborative and grounded in empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard.

Sessions aim to help people spot strengths, identify obstacles and try ways of coping that suit their situation. Gerry adapts conversations and plans to each person rather than using a fixed approach. She emphasises the relationship as the basis for progress and works alongside clients to set realistic, achievable goals.

People meet Gerry for a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through feelings and behaviour. She supports practical change and emotional understanding so people can move toward a more satisfying life.

How Geraldine's Approaches Work Online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers empathy and acceptance so people can explore their thoughts and feelings and find their own solutions. This approach suits people needing a supportive space to talk through difficult emotions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away by them. It can help reduce anxiety, improve concentration and support coping with change or stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Geraldine will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy proceeds.

Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Many people find online sessions help fit counselling into a busy week, make it easier to attend from different locations, or allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Discussing practical arrangements at the start helps shape therapy so it fits daily life and the issues being worked on.
