About Geraldine
Geraldine Noel-Duke is a counsellor with 25 years' experience supporting people through anxiety, stress, trauma, depression and eating concerns. She also helps with relationship and family difficulties, grief, parenting challenges and work or career questions. Geraldine works with a broad range of life issues including sleep problems, low self-esteem, anger and coping with big changes.
Her style is practical and collaborative. Sessions aim to make feelings easier to understand and manage.
Background and approach
Geraldine uses straightforward techniques so clients can try changes between sessions and notice small improvements over time. She draws on several therapeutic approaches to suit each person. These include cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and attachment-informed work to improve close relationships.
Emotionally-focused methods are used when emotions need to be understood and worked through. Geraldine also blends coaching and motivational ways of working for people wanting clearer goals in their career or wellbeing. Her background includes work in social care, education and family services across the UK and internationally.
She holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded as BACP. Sessions are offered in English and are available online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. She does not take international clients.
To begin, a brief matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled to suit therapist availability. Geraldine presents a calm, goal-focused approach that aims to reduce distress and help people rebuild a more balanced life.
Approaches used in online therapy and what they do
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes where people want clearer direction rather than quick fixes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. It gives practical exercises to change patterns that maintain low mood, worry or sleep problems and supports measurable progress.
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape feelings and trust. It can help when relationship patterns, communication problems or intimacy-related issues cause distress and when people want to build closer, more reliable connections.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Geraldine will talk with each person about goals, history and preferences, and together they will pick methods that feel most helpful. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls let people work face-to-face from home; phone sessions are a lower-tech option that often fits a lunch break or evening slot; live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats increase flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into daily life.
