Geraldine Theobald

Geraldine Theobald is a BACP counsellor with 16 years' practice in the United Kingdom. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions and LGBT concerns. Gerry also helps those coping with major life changes and offers a calm space to start talking about difficult feelings.

She uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on empathy, genuineness and acceptance. That helps people feel heard and noticed before moving on to practical steps. She draws on mindfulness to help with emotional regulation and on solution-focused ideas to set and reach short-term goals.

Gerry has extensive experience working in higher education. She has supported students aged 18–25 as well as postgraduate students and university staff. This background gives her practical insight into study pressures, work stress and adjusting to new routines.

Sessions aim to identify strengths and any blocks that get in the way. Gerry works collaboratively to build realistic plans and clearer boundaries at work and in life. Her style is warm, professional and non-judgemental, with an emphasis on treating people with sensitivity and respect.

She tailors conversations and goals to each person’s needs, including those with autism spectrum differences or ADHD. Gerry describes therapy as a chance to explore thoughts, feelings and behaviour so people can find steadier footing and make positive changes.

How Geraldine’s approaches work in online therapy

Geraldine uses a person-centred approach that focuses on empathy, honesty and accepting the person as they are. This helps people feel understood before moving on to practical work, and suits issues like low self-esteem, relationship worries and emotional overwhelm.

She also draws on mindfulness, which teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and build calm. Mindfulness exercises can help with anxiety, stress and managing ADHD-related restlessness. Solution-focused therapy is used to set small, achievable goals and notice what is already working. That approach suits people who want quick, practical steps for change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue therapy when relocating or living abroad, as Geraldine accepts international clients.
