Geraldine Noel-Duke , BACP

Geraldine Noel-Duke is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship or family difficulties. She also supports those coping with trauma, grief, eating and body image concerns, work and career pressures, and changes like separation or divorce. Geraldine brings 25 years of experience in therapy and psychology to her work in the United Kingdom.

She works in a direct, conversational way and focuses on what clients want to change. Sessions are practical and paced to each person. Geraldine listens for what matters most, then helps people try new ways of responding to difficult thoughts and feelings.

Her practice draws on several approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Attachment-Based Therapy. She also uses Client-Centred and Emotionally-Focused techniques when they suit the situation. These approaches are combined to match a person’s needs rather than following a single method.

Geraldine has a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy accreditation, listed as BACP. She has worked across social care, family services and education, and has provided careers and wellness coaching for many years. This background informs a rounded, practical approach to everyday struggles.

Sessions take place online by video or phone, and she can also work through live chat or text messaging. People using the service complete a short matching questionnaire to begin, then arrange appointments according to therapist times and subscription details.

How Geraldine’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting ruled by them and focus on what matters most in life. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and helps people test new ways of thinking and acting to reduce distress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns play out now and can help with intimacy, trust and relationship struggles.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Geraldine will talk through your concerns and goals, and together you will decide which methods to try first. The plan can be adjusted as sessions progress to find what works best for your situation.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video suits a fuller conversation with visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in, and messaging can fit short updates or times when typing feels easier. These options let people fit therapy around work, family and life commitments while still using ACT, CBT or attachment-focused work.
