About me
Hi Im Geri.
I'm a registered Counsellor/Therapist with a passion for helping people navigate life's challenges and regain a sense of control. I hold a masters level 7 qualification in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Keele University am am a registered member of the BACP. My approach is supportive, helping clients work through anxiety, overwhelm, and other difficulties to find clarity and confidence.
What do I offer help with?
I have a special interest in helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, panic and self doubt. If you're struggling with constant overthinking, as loss of confidence, or feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns, I can help you regain a sense of control and clarity.
My goal is the help you understand yourself better, break free from anxiety-driven patterns, and build the confidence to move forward in a way that feels right for you.
How can I help?
Whatever issues you are struggling with at the moment I offer a warm, open, non judgmental space giving you time to reflect on your life or help to navigate the challenges you are facing.
The key to Therapy is the relationship between you and the Counsellor and the trust that is built over time, it can be a very rewarding experience and lead to greater self awareness and help you to feel more in control.
I can help you reconnect with yourself, build self awareness, and put together a personal toolkit that will help you navigate life's ups and downs, creating strong foundations for a more fulfilling life.
My approach
I work in a personalised and Integrative way, meaning I draw on a range of therapies to suit your individual needs. This includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Person Centred Therapy, Transactional Analysis (TA) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), giving you access to different approaches that support insight, resilience and change.
I can also incorporate neuroscience-based insights, helping you to understand how your brain processes stress, anxiety and emotions. By increasing your self awareness, you can develop healthy patterns, build emotional regulation and regain a sense of balance and control.
Where am I located?
I provide face to face sessions in Leek and Cheadle in the Staffordshire Moorlands and also telephone and online sessions via Zoom. Visit gericarey.com for more information and to book an appointment with me.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
