About Geraldine

Geraldine Houston is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She offers supportive, person-centred help for people facing worries like anxiety, depression, grief, addiction and relationship strain. Geraldine works with concerns linked to everyday thoughts and habits, such as low self-esteem, stress, coping with life changes and patterns that keep causing pain.

She practices with sensitivity and respect, shaping conversations to each person's needs. Sessions are aimed at helping people notice unhelpful thought patterns and build small, practical habits that make day-to-day life easier. Geraldine emphasises realistic steps and clear goals so progress feels manageable.

Her approach is collaborative. She and the client set out what to focus on and adjust plans as things change. The counsellor also supports people dealing with more complex issues like trauma, bipolar mood concerns, parenting pressures, eating or intimacy-related worries.

Geraldine holds BACP registration, which is listed as her credential. She accepts clients from outside the UK and offers sessions that use a subscription model which can be cancelled at any time. Before booking, people should check which session formats are currently offered.

Approaches that address thoughts and everyday habits

Geraldine draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts and daily routines to reduce distress and improve coping. One approach helps people notice and question unhelpful thinking patterns, then try small behavioural experiments to test new ways of responding. This can help with anxiety, low mood and self-esteem struggles.

Another approach works on changing everyday habits and routines. It breaks larger goals into simple, repeatable steps so clients can build helpful patterns over time. This method supports people dealing with stress, addiction patterns, and motivation problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Geraldine will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences, and she will adjust methods as progress is made. The process is practical and paced to feel manageable.

The biography does not list the therapist's exact session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats also work better for less bandwidth or when clients prefer not to be on camera, so checking the currently offered session types will help plan what suits everyday life best.
