About Geraldine
Geraldine Houston is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has eight years of professional practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people experiencing anger as well as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties and a wide range of other concerns including addictions and grief.
She uses a plain, conversational approach in sessions. Geraldine listens to what matters most to the person and then helps them try practical ways to reduce anger and manage triggers. Sessions focus on clearer communication, understanding patterns, and small changes that make daily life easier.
Geraldine describes her work as collaborative. She and the person set goals together and check progress as they go. This can include talking through recent conflicts, practising new ways to respond when anger rises, and learning strategies to calm the body and mind.
Her background includes supporting people with trauma, career stress, ADHD and relationship challenges. She also works with concerns linked to illness, loss and family problems. Geraldine draws on evidence-based techniques to guide straightforward, step-by-step work rather than abstract theory.
Sessions are delivered in English and Geraldine accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first appointment is scheduled through the online booking flow.
How Geraldine uses therapeutic methods online
Geraldine draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anger and related concerns. Cognitive approaches focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts that make anger worse and testing kinder, more accurate alternatives. This helps reduce reactive thinking and the urge to snap or withdraw. Behavioural techniques use small practical experiments - for example trying different ways to speak up or stepping away briefly when tension rises - so people can see what works in real situations.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Geraldine discusses what matters to the client and adapts methods as progress is reviewed. The aim is to choose tools that fit the person's goals, daily routines and what feels achievable rather than imposing a single method.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they fit more easily around work and family commitments. Online work can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and practise new responses between meetings while life continues as normal.
