Geraldine Houston , BACP

Geraldine Houston is a UK-licensed therapist with eight years of professional experience and the BACP credential, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, adapting conversations and care plans to the specific needs of the individual.

Geraldine frames therapy as a collaborative process, acknowledging that taking the first steps toward change takes courage. She aims to support and empower people as they work toward a more fulfilling and happier life, shaping interventions around what will be most useful and meaningful for each client.

Her practice emphasizes listening closely, responding with empathy, and creating practical pathways for growth. Geraldine focuses on tailoring both the pace and content of sessions so that goals remain realistic and progress feels achievable. She is committed to helping clients build the skills and resilience needed to navigate life transitions and personal challenges.

Evidence-based approaches and accessible online care

Geraldine uses a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person's concerns. She offers skills-based interventions that focus on practical tools for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress, teaching strategies clients can apply between sessions. She also employs trauma-informed approaches that help people process difficult experiences and reduce their impact on daily life. In work with relationships and families, Geraldine draws on relational and systemic perspectives to explore patterns of interaction and build healthier communication and boundaries.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Geraldine works collaboratively with clients to identify goals, experiment with techniques, and adjust the plan as needs and preferences become clearer, so the chosen methods fit the person and the issue.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or who live far from services. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it possible to access regular support from licensed professionals without traveling, while allowing sessions to be arranged around work, family, and other commitments.
