Geraldine Davenport
Therapy to build safety and self-confidence
About Geraldine
Geraldine Davenport offers a warm, person-focused approach to therapy. She uses Client-Centred and psychodynamic ideas to help people feel understood and to explore what lies beneath repeated patterns. Gerri draws on 20 years of experience working in the United Kingdom and keeps her style practical and down to earth.
She helps people manage stress and anxiety and to build stronger self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns.
Background and approach
Relationship difficulties, parenting strain and career worries are common topics in her work. Geraldine pays attention to how early attachments and past hurts shape current behaviour. That helps when people struggle with abandonment, attachment issues, codependency or commitment worries.
She also works with body image concerns, autistic clients and people coping with blended family issues. Sessions focus on listening first, then making small, concrete changes. Conversations aim to name painful patterns, develop clearer choices, and practice new ways of relating.
Homework or gentle experiments between sessions may be offered when useful. Her BACP registration shows she meets the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy standards. Geraldine invites people to move at their own pace and to bring what matters most to them into the room.

How Geraldine's approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience. The therapist listens without judgement and helps people find their own solutions. This approach suits concerns like low self-esteem, anxiety and relationship troubles where being heard helps people feel stronger.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that come from earlier relationships and life events. It helps people understand why they repeat certain behaviours and how past hurts affect current choices. This approach can be useful for trauma, attachment issues and long-standing difficulties.
Geraldine treats finding the right approach as a shared process. She will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and suggest ways to combine approaches that fit you. Decisions about focus and pace happen together so you can try things and adjust as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging provide short check-ins or a way to reflect between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible around work, family and daily life and help people keep continuity even when travel is difficult.
