About Geraldine
Geraldine Noel-Duke is a counsellor with 25 years of experience who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship troubles and grief. She also supports people facing eating and body image concerns, parenting strain, career questions and major life changes. Geraldine uses a practical, person-focused approach and aims to help people feel more able to manage day-to-day challenges.
Clients can expect a calm, conversational style in sessions. Geraldine listens first and then works with each person to set clear, manageable goals.
Background and approach
She draws on a range of methods so the work fits the issue rather than forcing one model on everyone. Her practice blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques. These are used to look at feelings, patterns and practical steps that change how people cope.
Geraldine also uses motivational interviewing to support decisions and direction when clients want coaching alongside counselling. Geraldine trained and practised across social care, education and therapeutic services in the United Kingdom and internationally. She has worked with careers and employment issues for many years and has provided wellness coaching and nutritional advice alongside psychotherapy.
Her broad background informs a rounded approach to emotional and practical problems. Work with Geraldine typically includes talking through what causes distress, learning skills to manage symptoms, and testing new ways of relating or behaving. Sessions aim to leave people with clearer choices, calmer responses and steps they can use between appointments.
She offers evening sessions on set days to suit many working schedules.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful emotional patterns in relationships and in how a person relates to their own feelings. It is often helpful for people struggling with intimacy, loss, grief and repeating emotional cycles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical steps to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and motivation problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Geraldine will discuss different methods and help decide which fits someone’s needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses, so people can test what helps most for their situation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face to face when convenient. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or suit lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging allow ongoing contact and written reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional change.
