Collaborative approaches and online therapeutic support
Geraldine works from a person-centred perspective, which focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients are encouraged to explore their feelings and goals at their own pace. This approach is often helpful for issues like grief, low self-esteem and relationship concerns because it prioritises the therapeutic relationship and personal understanding.She also uses Motivational Interviewing, a practical, goal-oriented method that helps people find and strengthen their own reasons for change. It is commonly used when addressing substance use, ambivalence about change, and motivation-related challenges.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Geraldine will work with each person to identify which methods match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as therapy progresses to ensure the best fit.

These options make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals and to integrate therapy into everyday life.
