Geraldine – Registered Mental Health Social Worker, Relationship Counsellor & Family Therapist
Geraldine is a Registered Mental Health Social Worker and Counsellor with over 20 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families. She is passionate about empowering her clients to overcome their challenges, and she believes this is best achieved by fostering an authentic therapeutic relationship and creating a non-judgmental, supportive therapeutic environment.
In her work with individuals, Geraldine has extensive experience assisting with issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, workplace conflict and bullying, grief, anger, and family of origin concerns.
She is also a highly experienced and skilled relationship counsellor and has helped couples address a variety of challenges, including conflict, infidelity, relationship ambivalence, communication problems, intimacy issues, bereavement and life transitions. As well as supporting her clients in private practice, Geraldine regularly trains other counsellors in couples counselling techniques. Geraldine primarily utilises Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Systemic and Family of Origin therapeutic modalities in her therapy. However, she adapts her approach to the individual and understands that every individual and situation is unique.
Geraldine works from our second Surry Hills office, in Elizabeth St.
Geraldine holds a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work in Couple and Family Therapy.
