Geraldine Wachholz

Herzlich willkommen bei Geraldine’s Therapy – therapeutische Begleitung mit Klarheit, Unterstützung und Verständnis.

Ich bin Geraldine, qualifizierte Online-Therapeutin, und ich bin überzeugt: Jeder Mensch sollte die Möglichkeit haben, offen über das zu sprechen, was ihn bewegt – in einem geschützten, respektvollen Rahmen und ohne sich erklären oder rechtfertigen zu müssen.

Deutsch ist meine Muttersprache. Obwohl ich seit vielen Jahren in England lebe, bin ich spezialisiert darauf, deutschsprachige Menschen in der UK online in therapeutischen Prozessen zu begleiten.

Gerade bei emotionalen Themen sprechen viele Menschen in ihrer Muttersprache offener und präziser – das kann die therapeutische Arbeit spürbar erleichtern.

In meinen Online-Sitzungen nehme ich mir Zeit für Ihre Themen. Das können Stress, Ängste oder Trauer sein, aber auch Beziehungsfragen, innere Unruhe oder das Gefühl, festzustecken und nicht weiterzukommen. Sie bestimmen, worüber wir sprechen und in welchem Tempo.

Ich arbeite individuell, integrativ und traumasensibel. Das bedeutet: Die therapeutische Begleitung richtet sich nach Ihnen und Ihrer Lebenssituation. Es gibt kein festes Schema, sondern einen Ansatz, der sich an Ihren Bedürfnissen orientiert und Sie dabei unterstützt, mehr Klarheit, Selbstverständnis und emotionale Stabilität zu entwickeln.

Ob Sie sich in einer schwierigen Phase befinden oder einfach einen professionellen Gesprächspartner suchen, um Dinge zu sortieren – Ihre Gedanken und Gefühle sind willkommen und wichtig. Sie müssen nichts beschönigen und nichts „leisten“.

Der Entschluss, Unterstützung anzunehmen, ist ein mutiger und zugleich gesunder Schritt. Ich begleite Sie dabei mit Respekt, Sensibilität und Menschlichkeit – damit Sie Schritt für Schritt wieder mehr Balance, innere Ruhe und Zuversicht finden können.

Schreiben Sie mir gerne an info@geraldinetherapy.com, um einen Kennenlerntermin zu vereinbaren.

Ich biete Therapie für Erwachsene aus allen Lebensbereichen an und habe eine besondere Leidenschaft, Menschen zu begleiten, deren Leben durch eine Krebserkrankung berührt wurde. Das kann bedeuten, dass Sie kürzlich eine Diagnose erhalten haben, sich aktuell in Behandlung befinden, mit Krebs als langfristiger Erkrankung leben, in Remission sind oder mit der Unsicherheit und Angst des Wartens auf Ergebnisse umgehen müssen. 

Eine Krebserkrankung kann eine überwältigende Erfahrung sein – emotional, körperlich und seelisch. Sie kann Gefühle wie Angst, Traurigkeit, Verwirrung, Wut oder Isolation auslösen und es erschweren, sich selbst wiederzuerkennen oder sich mit anderen so verbunden zu fühlen wie früher. Vielleicht verspüren Sie den Druck, für Ihre Angehörigen „stark bleiben“ zu müssen, auch wenn Sie innerlich sehr belastet sind. Meine Rolle ist es, Ihnen einen sicheren, einfühlsamen und wertfreien Raum zu bieten, in dem all Ihre Gedanken und Gefühle Platz haben und Sie ganz Sie selbst sein dürfen.

In meiner Arbeit orientiere ich mich an den Prinzipien der humanistischen Therapie und begegne Ihnen mit Wärme, Offenheit und Ehrlichkeit. Dieser Ansatz stellt Ihre Selbstbestimmung in den Mittelpunkt: Sie bestimmen das Tempo, und unsere gemeinsame Arbeit richtet sich danach, was Sie bereit sind zu teilen und zu erkunden. Anstatt Ratschläge zu geben oder vorgefertigte Lösungen anzubieten, begleite ich Sie unterstützend auf Ihrem Weg und helfe Ihnen dabei, Ihre eigenen Bewältigungsstrategien und Lösungswege zu entdecken.

Neben der Begleitung bei Krebserkrankungen arbeite ich auch mit einer Vielzahl weiterer Themen, darunter Depressionen, Angstzustände, Eifersucht sowie andere emotionale und psychische Herausforderungen.

Die Therapie kann sowohl auf Englisch als auch auf Deutsch stattfinden. Wenn Sie sich wohler fühlen, sich in Ihrer Muttersprache auszudrücken, biete ich  Therapie auch gerne auf Deutsch an.

Die Klienten wählen selbst, welche Themen sie einbringen möchten. Ich begleite sie dabei, ihre Gedanken und Gefühle besser zu verstehen und herauszufinden, welche Veränderungen sie sich wünschen. Manchmal ist das Problem zu Beginn noch nicht klar – auch das ist Teil des Prozesses und vollkommen in Ordnung.

In unserer allerersten Sitzung nehmen wir uns Zeit und gehen in einem ruhigen, angenehmen Tempo vor. Wenn Sie den Fragebogen bereits ausgefüllt haben, nutze ich ihn gerne als hilfreichen Ausgangspunkt – falls nicht, ist das überhaupt kein Problem. Wir können die Themen ganz entspannt gemeinsam erkunden.

In diesem ersten Gespräch geht es vor allem darum, dass wir uns kennenlernen. Wir sprechen darüber, was Sie in letzter Zeit beschäftigt hat, was Sie dazu bewogen hat, jetzt eine Therapie in Anspruch zu nehmen, und was Sie sich davon erhoffen oder verändern möchten. Gleichzeitig haben Sie die Möglichkeit, ein Gefühl dafür zu bekommen, wie ich arbeite, Fragen zu stellen und zu schauen, ob Sie sich eine Zusammenarbeit mit mir vorstellen können.

Vor allem beginnen wir damit, zu erkunden, was Ihnen wirklich wichtig ist – Ihre Werte, Ihre Hoffnungen und die Bereiche Ihres Lebens, in denen Sie sich mehr Klarheit oder Leichtigkeit wünschen. Mein Ziel ist es, Sie dabei zu unterstützen, wieder Zugang zu Ihren Stärken zu finden, Ihre Erfahrungen besser einzuordnen und einen Weg nach vorne zu entdecken, der sich nicht nur machbar, sondern auch stimmig und bedeutsam für Sie anfühlt. Wir gehen diesen Weg in Ihrem Tempo – mit Wärme, Neugier und Mitgefühl.

I offer counselling for adults from all backgrounds, with a particular passion for supporting people whose lives have been touched by cancer. This may mean you have recently received a diagnosis, are undergoing treatment, are living with cancer as a long-term condition, are in remission, or are facing the uncertainty and anxiety of waiting for results. It may also mean you are caring for or grieving someone affected by cancer.

Cancer can be an overwhelming experience – emotionally, physically, and mentally. It can stir feelings of fear, sadness, confusion, anger, or isolation, and can sometimes make it difficult to recognise yourself or connect with others in the way you once did. You may feel pressured to “stay strong” for loved ones, even while you’re struggling inside. My role is to offer a safe, understanding space where you can bring all of your thoughts and feelings without judgement, where you can be wholly yourself.

I draw on the principles of humanistic therapy, offering warmth, openness, and honesty in the counselling relationship. This approach values your autonomy – you set the pace, and our work together is guided by what you feel ready to share and explore. Rather than giving advice or telling you what to do, I will walk alongside you as an ally, helping you discover your own solutions and coping strategies.

In my counselling practice, you’ll find a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges at your own pace. My role is to listen, understand your unique experiences, and work with you to uncover new perspectives and possibilities for change.

I can help with issues including, but not limited to:

Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Relationships, Difficulty with boundaries, Self-worth, Bereavement, Recovering from past relationships, Chronic self-doubt, Recovering from abuse, Facing change, Loss, Worry, Family issues, Perfectionism, Work-related stress, People Pleasing, Self Esteem, Motivation, Burn out, Suicidal thoughts, Recovering from abusive and narcissistic relationships. and Personal development.

What You Can Expect From Me:

Compassion and Respect – You’ll be heard and valued exactly as you are, without pressure or judgment.

A Collaborative Approach – We’ll work together to set goals that feel right for you, and I’ll adapt my methods to suit your needs and preferences.

Practical and Emotional Support – Whether you need coping strategies, deeper self-understanding, or simply a place to talk, I’ll provide tools and insights to help you navigate life’s challenges.

Confidentiality and Safety – Your privacy and comfort are at the heart of our sessions, so you can speak freely.

Growth at Your Pace – There’s no rush; this is your time to reflect, heal, and grow in a way that feels sustainable for you.

Counselling is a journey, and every step you take—no matter how small—matters. You don’t need to have everything figured out before you start; all you need to bring is yourself.

If you’re ready, we can take that first step together.

In our very first session together, we’ll take things at a gentle, comfortable pace. If you’ve already completed the assessment form, I’ll refer to it as a helpful starting point — but if you haven’t, please don’t worry at all. We can simply explore things as we go.

This initial conversation is really about us getting to know each other. We’ll spend time talking about what’s been happening for you lately, what’s led you to seek counselling now, and what you’re hoping to find or change. It’s also a chance for you to get a sense of how I work, ask any questions you might have, and see if you feel we’re a good fit to work together.

Most importantly, we’ll begin to explore what matters most to you — your values, your hopes, and the areas of your life where you’d like to see more clarity or ease. My aim is to help you reconnect with your strengths, make sense of your experiences, and discover a way forward that feels not only possible, but also authentic and meaningful to you. We’ll take this journey at your pace, with warmth, curiosity, and compassion.

I offer counselling for adults from all backgrounds, with a specialist focus on supporting people affected by cancer and cancer-related anxiety. This includes individuals who have received a cancer diagnosis, are undergoing treatment, living with cancer as a long-term condition, are in remission, or are coping with the intense uncertainty and anxiety of waiting for results. I also offer counselling for partners, family members, friends, and carers whose lives have been impacted by cancer, as well as those experiencing grief and loss.

A cancer diagnosis can trigger profound emotional distress and anxiety. Many people experience fear, sadness, anger, shock, or a deep sense of uncertainty about the future. Cancer-related anxiety can show up as constant worry, difficulty sleeping, intrusive thoughts, panic, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others. You may feel pressure to remain positive or “stay strong” for loved ones, even when you are feeling overwhelmed inside. Counselling offers a confidential, compassionate space where you do not have to manage these feelings alone.

My role is to provide cancer counselling that is sensitive, supportive, and non-judgemental, allowing you to explore your emotions at your own pace. Whether your anxiety feels all-consuming or quietly present in the background, therapy can help you make sense of what you are experiencing and find ways to cope that feel right for you.

I work from a humanistic counselling approach, offering warmth, empathy, openness, and authenticity within the therapeutic relationship. This approach recognises you as the expert in your own life. Rather than giving advice, I work collaboratively with you, supporting you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences of cancer and anxiety, and to develop your own understanding, resilience, and coping strategies during an incredibly challenging time.
