About Geraldine
Geraldine Davenport is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Geraldine also supports clients dealing with grief, parenting pressures, career worries and life changes, including concerns common in young adulthood.
Geraldine uses a client-centred approach alongside psychodynamic ideas to help people understand themselves better. Sessions often focus on recognising patterns that cause repeated problems and on practical steps to manage difficult feelings. She listens for the ways past experiences affect current choices and relationships.
Her work covers a wide range of relationship and family-related issues such as communication problems, divorce and separation, blended family matters and caregiving stress. She also addresses intimacy-related difficulties, attachment and abandonment concerns, body image and codependency. LGBT issues and the challenges of autism and Asperger Syndrome are included in her scope.
Geraldine aims to help people build more trusting relationships and stronger self-confidence. She offers straightforward strategies to reduce anxiety and manage anger, alongside reflective work that looks at underlying causes. Many clients come with career uncertainty, feelings of emptiness or trouble coping after major life events.
To begin, clients use a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Geraldine works in English and does not accept international clients.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience. The therapist listens closely and reflects back what is said so the client can clarify feelings and make their own choices. This approach helps with anxiety, stress and self-esteem issues where being heard matters.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships and repeated patterns shape current behaviour. It uses conversation to uncover those patterns and to understand why certain reactions keep happening. This can be useful for trauma, attachment or relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Geraldine will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and decide together which methods to use. That collaborative decision helps shape session focus and pacing.

They allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time and can help people continue work while living in different parts of the UK. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to make therapy more practical for everyday life.
