Geraldine "Geri" Langton, BACP

Geraldine "Geri" Langton is a person-centred counsellor with a BACP credential and 13 years of experience in the United Kingdom. She takes a calm, respectful approach and keeps sessions relaxed and focused on the person in front of her. Geri listens closely and gives people room to talk about what matters most to them.

Her practice concentrates on relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures and anxiety. She also supports people dealing with addiction, trauma and anger, as well as career setbacks, midlife questions and low self-esteem. Additional focuses include attachment concerns, body image, forgiveness and end-of-life issues.

Geri uses client-centred and existential approaches that let conversations follow what feels most important. That means sessions often begin with the client’s immediate worries and move towards clearer thinking about choices and meaning. She helps people notice patterns, consider values and make practical changes when those emerge.

People describing stress, compassion fatigue or a loss of direction can expect a steady, non-judgemental presence. Geri aims to create a calm space where people can talk about how problems affect daily life and relationships. She works at a pace set by the client and offers practical tools alongside reflective conversation.

Sessions can help with coping strategies, rebuilding self-worth and managing strong emotions. Geri welcomes clients who want thoughtful listening, clearer perspective and gentle challenge as they work towards change.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and empathy. The counsellor follows the person’s lead, reflects what they say and helps them feel heard. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-worth, grief and relationship worries.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and personal values. It helps people facing life changes, career transitions, midlife questions or end-of-life concerns to clarify what matters and make purposeful decisions.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The counsellor will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. Sessions can blend listening, reflection and practical steps as required.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation time. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection or flexible scheduling around work or childcare. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on the person's goals and progress.
