Geraldine TheobaldBACP

Geraldine Theobald is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom. She has 16 years of clinical practice and offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk about stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and life transitions. She also supports people facing ADHD, addiction issues, and LGBT-related concerns, and can help with a wide range of related difficulties.

Geraldine draws on person-centred principles developed by Carl Rogers. That means sessions focus on empathy, honesty and accepting the person who comes to therapy. She also uses mindfulness ideas to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify small, practical steps that move things forward.

Her background includes long experience working in higher education, so she understands pressures linked to study and university life as well as staff work stress. Geraldine has worked with a broad range of university employees and students and is familiar with challenges such as balancing responsibilities, setting boundaries and coping with change.

Sessions are collaborative and shaped by each person’s needs. Geraldine aims to help people identify strengths, recognise unhelpful patterns, and make realistic changes. She works within the Ethical Framework of the BACP and adapts her approach to match individual circumstances.

People who choose her can expect practical conversations, supportive listening and clear next steps. She encourages clients to take things at their own pace while exploring ways to improve wellbeing.

How Geraldine’s approaches work online

Geraldine uses a person-centred approach that focuses on empathy, honesty and acceptance. In practice this means the counsellor listens carefully and helps you make sense of your feelings so you feel understood and supported. Mindfulness techniques help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting pulled into them and are useful for anxiety and stress management.

She also draws on solution-focused work which targets small, achievable steps. That approach helps when someone wants quick, practical changes such as better routines, clearer boundaries or short-term coping strategies. Choosing the right approach is part of the work; Geraldine will discuss options and decide together what feels most helpful for your goals and preferences.

The profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. In general online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. Geraldine aims to match the practical arrangements to your life while helping you take steady steps towards feeling better.
