About Geraldine
Geraldine Theobald is a BACP counsellor with 16 years of clinical practice in the United Kingdom. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. Her approach also covers ADHD, addictions and LGBT concerns among other areas.
Geraldine works in a warm, non-judgemental way. She bases her practice on the person-centred values of empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard. Sessions aim to help people talk through what matters most to them and to recognise their own strengths.
Background and approach
She draws on mindfulness techniques to help calm the mind and bring attention back to the present moment. Solution-focused methods are used to set small, practical steps that move people towards the changes they want to see. Together these approaches support day-to-day coping and goal-setting.
Much of Geraldine's background is in higher education counselling. Over many years she has worked with students and university staff and has experience of work-related stress, transitions and balancing changing responsibilities. That experience informs how she helps people set boundaries and manage workplace pressures.
Geraldine also has experience supporting people with autism spectrum conditions and ADHD. She adapts her style to suit each person and works collaboratively to agree a way forward. Her practice follows the Ethical Framework of the BACP and aims to help people make steady, realistic changes to improve wellbeing.

Approaches Geraldine lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also uses mindfulness work to teach simple attention and breathing exercises. These tools can reduce racing thoughts and make everyday stress easier to manage. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify small, concrete steps that move someone towards clearer goals and better coping.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Geraldine will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. The process is collaborative and may be adjusted as things change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls suit in-depth conversations while phone sessions use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or when shorter, text-based contact fits a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, study and family life.
