Geraldine Noel-Duke , BACP

Geraldine Noel-Duke is a qualified psychotherapist, psychologist, life coach and nutritional therapist who brings 25 years of clinical and coaching experience to her practice. She combines therapeutic work with wellness and coaching techniques to help clients reduce emotional distress, build resilience and pursue a more fulfilled, vibrant life. Geraldine also identifies as a Christian and integrates her values into a compassionate, client-focused way of working.

Her experience spans professional therapy services, social care, families, education and youth services at national and international levels. For 15 years she has specialised in careers and employment, working as a motivational, personal, careers and wellness coach, and more recently has expanded her training to include nutritional and skin care therapy. Geraldine offers evening appointments on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, along with Friday afternoons, and she aims to respond promptly even when commitments such as presentations or meetings occasionally cause a delay.

Geraldine uses a blended approach tailored to each person, drawing on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, Christian counselling, life coaching, family and marital work, parent-child interaction techniques and positive psychology. She holds BACP as a professional credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and frames therapy as a collaborative process that supports practical change and long-term emotional wellbeing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Geraldine blends well-established therapeutic models to match each person’s needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than struggling with them. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships, exploring how early bonds influence current connection and helping clients develop more secure, satisfying relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that contribute to anxiety, depression and other common challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Geraldine works collaboratively with each client to determine what fits best given their goals, history and preferences. She often integrates elements from different models to create a personalised plan that supports progress and resilience.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Geraldine offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility in how and when people access support. These options help maintain continuity of care and make therapy more accessible for those balancing work, family and other commitments.
