Geraldine Theobald, BACP

Geraldine Theobald is a BACP counsellor with 16 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions and life changes. Her approach is calm and direct, aimed at making everyday thoughts and habits clearer and more manageable.

She trained to Master's level in Person-Centred Counselling and Psychotherapy and has long experience working in a higher education setting. That work included supporting students aged 18-25 and university staff across many roles, so she is familiar with pressures around study, work and transitions. Geraldine draws on Core Conditions from Carl Rogers - empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard - in the room.

Mindfulness and Solution-Focused Therapy are used alongside her person-centred work. Mindfulness helps with noticing thoughts and reducing reactive patterns. Solution-Focused techniques aim to identify small, practical steps clients can try between sessions.

She emphasises a collaborative relationship and works to help people spot strengths and barriers. Conversations are tailored so they make sense to each person and fit the situation they bring. Geraldine aims to help people reshape everyday routines and habits that keep problems cycling.

The tone of sessions is warm and non-judgemental with attention to clear goals and achievable change. To begin, readers are encouraged to consider whether her style feels like a good match before booking.

How Geraldine’s approaches translate to online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship where the person feels heard and understood; it helps people explore thoughts and make sense of their reactions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that make everyday thinking clearer and less overwhelming, which is useful for anxiety, stress and ADHD. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps and past successes to build change steadily and quickly.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Geraldine takes a collaborative stance and will discuss with each person which methods feel most helpful based on their goals, preferences and what they want to change. The plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports practising mindfulness or brief exercises between meetings, and helps people keep momentum with follow-up tasks that link therapy to daily routines.
