Geraldine Houston

Geraldine Houston is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people struggling with anger alongside related concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, addiction and relationship stress. She works with individuals dealing with parenting strain, career pressures, bipolar mood challenges and the fallout from trauma or abuse. Geraldine brings a respectful and compassionate stance to each meeting and says she adapts sessions to what each person needs.

She has eight years of professional experience and is registered with the BACP, which she lists on her profile. Geraldine describes her role as helping people take the first steps toward change and a more satisfying life. She aims to offer practical support and encouragement while people sort through difficult feelings.

Sessions are shaped around the person in front of her. Geraldine tailors the conversation and the ongoing plan to match individual goals and circumstances. That might involve learning ways to manage strong emotions, getting steadier after a loss, or finding new approaches to long-standing patterns.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Geraldine emphasises building on a person’s strengths and pacing the work so it feels manageable. She offers guidance and challenges when useful, and helps people try new ways of coping.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Geraldine notes that the process of asking for help is itself a meaningful step toward change.

How Geraldine’s approaches translate to online work

Geraldine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One approach she applies helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that feed anger and low mood, teaching specific skills for managing strong reactions and stress. Another strand of her work focuses on processing difficult experiences and trauma in a paced way, helping people make sense of painful events and reduce their ongoing emotional impact.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Geraldine aims to work together with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. She will adapt techniques over time as the person learns what helps and what feels manageable, keeping the process collaborative and grounded in everyday concerns.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy routines, avoiding travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Because the profile does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can help make online work feel like a realistic way to get support while balancing other commitments.
