About Geraldine Theobald
Geraldine Theobald is a BACP-accredited therapist based in the United Kingdom with 16 years of clinical practice. She holds a Master's level qualification in Person-Centred Counselling and Psychotherapy and brings long-standing experience working within higher education.
For more than a decade Geraldine has worked as a university counsellor supporting students aged 18 to 25, including postgraduate research (PGR) and postgraduate taught (PGT) students, and has a clear understanding of challenges such as transitions, homesickness, independence, study pressures and financial responsibilities. She also offers support to university staff across roles - academics, administrators, cleaners, security and others - and understands how workplace stress can affect day-to-day functioning.
Her practice is grounded in the core conditions established by Carl Rogers - empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard - and she works within the Ethical Framework of the BACP.

Geraldine also draws on Mindfulness and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients manage emotions and pursue positive change.
Geraldine works collaboratively with clients to identify strengths and barriers that may be preventing progress, emphasising the importance of the therapeutic relationship. She provides a warm, professional, non-judgmental and personal space where people can explore thoughts, feelings and behaviours to develop greater self-understanding.
Her clinical interests include stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, ADHD, addictions and LGBT issues, with additional focus on areas such as attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care, aging concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, caregiver stress, communication and relationship difficulties, and work-related pressures. She has direct experience supporting people with ASD and ADHD and tailors dialogue and treatment plans to meet each person’s specific needs. Geraldine aims to support and empower people taking the first steps toward a more fulfilling and satisfying life.
