My name is Geraldine, and I'm a qualified and compassionate counsellor with a commitment to supporting people through some of life's most challenging moments. Whether you're facing emotional pain, relationship struggles, or navigating life through or after a serious illness, my goal is to offer a space where you feel safe, seen, heard and supported.

Working in the NHS in the cancer care unit

I bring with me valuable experience from my time working within the NHS, specifically in the cancer care sector. During this time, I had the privilege of working closely with individuals and families affected by cancer—those newly diagnosed, undergoing treatment, in recovery, or living with the long-term impacts of the illness. This has given me a deep understanding of the emotional complexities that accompany serious health challenges, and it's an area I remain particularly passionate about. Being specialised in counselling within cancer care, I'm here to walk with you through the fear, grief, uncertainty, and adjustment that often come with a diagnosis, whether you're the patient or a loved one. At some point in life, many of us experience challenges that feel overwhelming, confusing, or deeply painful. Reaching out for support is a courageous and healthy step toward healing and personal growth. I will support you to make better sense of your experiences, together with your thoughts and emotions and explore options. I will help you to uncover meanings and recognise patterns, providing you with greater self-awareness. Counselling offers a safe and non-judgmental space to explore what's going on, gain clarity, and discover new ways of coping. People come to therapy for many different reasons, and no problem is too big or too small. Whether you're facing a personal crisis, navigating life transitions, or simply seeking greater self-understanding, you're not alone.
