Geraldine Noel-Duke, BACP

Geraldine Noel-Duke is a seasoned psychotherapist, psychologist, life coach, and nutritional therapist who brings 25 years of professional experience to her practice. She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which signals recognised professional training and adherence to commonly accepted standards of practice. Geraldine has worked across professional therapy services, social care, families, education, and youth services both nationally and internationally, and she has spent 15 years specialising in careers and employment coaching alongside her work in wellness and nutritional care.

Her practice blends therapeutic and coaching methods to address a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating and body image issues, relationship and family difficulties, grief, depression, sleep problems, parenting challenges, and career transitions. Geraldine uses an integrative approach that draws on client-centred, cognitive behavioural, emotionally focused, attachment-based, and acceptance-based strategies as appropriate to each person’s needs. She also offers support for issues such as compassion fatigue, bipolar management, intimacy-related concerns, and coping with life changes.

Geraldine typically holds appointments in the evenings on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, with additional availability on Friday afternoons. At times she may be presenting, attending meetings, or working in her practice, so responses can take a short while; she will reply as soon as possible. Her work aims to reduce emotional distress, build resilience, and support lasting change through a combination of therapy, coaching, and practical wellness guidance.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Geraldine uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and develop practical steps to live in line with their values. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to behaviour that supports personal goals, and can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy is offered to explore patterns in relationships that began in early life and continue to affect current connections. This approach supports understanding emotional needs, improving communication, and repairing relational difficulties in couples and family contexts.

Client-Centred Therapy provides a warm, non-judgemental space where the person is treated as the expert in their own life. By emphasising empathy, respect, and collaboration, this approach helps people build self-awareness, confidence, and a stronger sense of agency.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Geraldine works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules and make it easier to access consistent support from home or elsewhere. These options allow Geraldine to maintain an ongoing, therapeutic relationship while accommodating different communication styles and practical needs.
