Geraldine Noel-Duke helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family difficulties, and issues with eating and body image. She also supports those coping with grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar mood challenges, career worries and major life changes. Geraldine offers coaching for motivation and compassion fatigue too.

She has worked in therapy and psychology for 25 years across social care, education, youth services and other professional settings in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Background and approach

She also spent 15 years specialising in careers and employment as a motivational and personal coach. Geraldine brings a broad background that combines psychological care with coaching perspectives. In sessions she adapts her approach to what each person needs.

She draws on client-centred talking, cognitive techniques, attachment ideas and emotionally focused work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and motivational interviewing also shape how she supports change and coping. Geraldine aims to remove emotional distress and help people build more satisfying day-to-day lives.

She works with clear steps and practical tools alongside space to talk about painful experiences. Her style mixes encouragement with structured techniques to help people move forward. Evening hours are common in her practice, and she balances clinical work with giving presentations and other professional commitments.

Sessions are offered through online formats that suit modern routines and busy schedules.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to ease symptoms like worry or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centres on understanding emotional responses in relationships and easing patterns that cause disconnection or hurt.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Geraldine will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which blend of talking, practical tasks and focus on emotions suits the situation and can be adjusted as therapy proceeds.

Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions let people see facial cues and work more directly on emotions. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, reflective writing and ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options aim to make it easier to attend sessions and to keep progress moving forward.
