Geanina Roman , BACP

Geanina Roman is a counsellor who supports adults with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship difficulties. She also helps people coping with life changes and those facing chronic illness, caregiver strain, immigration stress and family-of-origin problems. Geanina aims to offer a calm, warm space where people can bring whatever feels most pressing to them.

Her style is collaborative and unstructured. Clients set the agenda each session and she guides the conversation with gentle prompts and reflective listening. Sessions often focus on recognising patterns that began in the past and noticing how they affect life now.

Geanina draws on psychodynamic ideas alongside psychosynthesis, a model she describes as a psychology of hope. That combination lets her look at old patterns while also exploring personal potential and meaning. She uses mindfulness and somatic techniques when helpful to ground difficult feelings.

The work can include exploring attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems and issues around control and forgiveness. Geanina also supports people with eating and food-related issues and those navigating divorce or separation. Her approach is paced to each person’s needs and comfort level.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Geanina works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Approach and online options for therapy

Geanina uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person's experience and priorities. This approach means the counsellor listens carefully and follows the client’s lead to help clarify what matters most and build self-understanding.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas that look at patterns formed in early life. This helps when worries repeat over time or when relationship patterns cause ongoing stress. Working in this way can make hidden influences easier to notice and consider changing.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Geanina discusses options openly and helps decide together what fits the person’s needs, goals and comfort level. Choices about technique and pace are made collaboratively rather than imposed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful for a more conversational, face-to-face feeling, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins, writing-focused work or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options help people fit therapy around work, caring duties and other commitments.
