About Geraldine
Geraldine Houston is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has eight years of professional experience. She works with people coping with anger and related concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression, addictions and relationship problems. Geraldine also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, parenting strain and life changes.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She listens to what is happening now, and helps people notice patterns in how they react to stress and frustration. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps and on learning ways to cope when anger spikes or resentment builds.
Geraldine adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood problems, compulsive behaviours and issues around intimacy or control. The work can include learning new ways to manage strong emotions and to rebuild trust in relationships.
People come for help with specific problems such as addictions, OCD-like hoarding, fertility or cancer-related stress, ADHD, or feelings of abandonment and shame. Geraldine also supports those facing end-of-life care questions or career-related stresses that feed into anger and low mood.
Sessions are conducted in English and Geraldine accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and are handled via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions
Geraldine works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on how thoughts, feelings and behaviour interact. Cognitive-based approaches look at unhelpful thinking patterns and teach practical ways to respond differently to anger and anxiety. These methods are often used for depression, stress and relationship tension.Behavioural strategies aim to change automatic reactions. This can include small experiments to try new responses to triggering situations and learning calming routines to reduce escalation. Such work is useful for compulsive behaviours, addiction-related impulses and strong emotional reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Geraldine will discuss different techniques with each person and choose methods together based on needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can shift as progress is made.
The original biography does not list specific online formats. Please confirm which formats are available before booking. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into daily life, for example by avoiding travel, fitting a session into a work break, or choosing a lower-bandwidth option like audio if video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises and check-ins to suit remote sessions so therapeutic work remains practical and focused.
