I have benefitted from Geraldine’s strong understanding and experience of corporate world dynamics and her extensive psychological tool kit that has helped draw out issues holding me back from expressing my authentic self at work and in my personal life.
Geraldine’s compassionate and heart-centred guidance has been the catalyst for significant holistic personal growth that has set me in good stead to clarify my values, ambitions and professional direction.

Our eight Gestalt therapy sessions were exactly what I needed to heal. I usually brush over my true feelings, yet with Geraldine’s guidance I let my emotions be in the present which transformed my self-awareness keeping me connected with my mind, body and spirit.
Whenever I’m in the space created by Geraldine, I drop down from my head into my heart and that’s a magical place to be. I now feel a much deeper connection with my emotions and the confidence to let them flow.
