Geraldine Davenport, BACP

Geraldine Davenport is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people regain confidence and cope with life changes. She has worked in the United Kingdom for more than 20 years and supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems and midlife issues.

Gerri focuses on building a trusting working relationship where clients can speak openly. She helps people understand patterns from the past and how these affect current choices. Sessions aim to reduce anxiety, improve self-esteem and find clearer ways to manage difficult emotions.

Her practical style mixes listening with straightforward tools for everyday life. Clients may work on communication, boundary setting, coping strategies and rebuilding after painful experiences. The approach is steady and paced to each person’s needs.

Geraldine has particular experience with trauma and painful relationships. She helps people process hurt and develop safer ways of relating. This can include work on attachment, abandonment, codependency and intimacy-related concerns.

She also supports those facing family strain, parenting stress, career crossroads and grief. Additional areas of focus include body image, blended family issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and separation or divorce. Geraldine is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and conducts work in English.

How Geraldine's approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening deeply and following the person’s lead. It helps people feel heard, build self-trust and make choices that match their values. This approach suits those wanting practical emotional support and clearer decision-making.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns formed in earlier relationships and how they repeat now. It helps people understand where old fears or expectations come from, which can reduce anxiety and improve relationships over time.

Geraldine aims to work with clients to find the right mix of approaches. She discusses goals and preferences together and adapts the way she works as therapy progresses. That collaborative process helps decide whether short-term coping strategies or deeper exploration will be most useful.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy lives and keeping continuity when schedules change. Online work can make it easier to have brief check-ins, arrange appointments around work, or avoid travel time.
