Fantastic support and listener, she respects me, and lets me explain my feelings and experiences without feeling judged, I have also been able to experience my treatment with my Christian faith being the main source of support and inspiration. And how we have navigated my treatment plan together.
I couldn’t recommend Geri anymore.

Geri is a very experienced therapist. She has led me through a process of self discovery and learning with a combination of therapy sessions and listening to podcasts and audio books. This has all been delivered in a very sensitive way, and at a pace that was right for me. I'm so glad I found Geri through BetterHelp. It has been a turning point for me.

Geraldine Costello is truly great at what she does. I think she has an in-depth knowledge of what she does. I also enjoy her flexibility in how she conducts her therapy sessions. When I requested to have a Christian therapist, I imagined it would just be a flat Christian but Geraldine is truly a firm Christian who has helped shown me ways the belief can help attain an improved mental state.

I’ve been working with Geraldine almost three weeks now and she’s really helped me accept to see how things are and how to learn to forgive myself. She’s allowed me to be open and I’m very appreciative of that

Geraldine is different. She understands and points you in the direction of practical help which is needed not just talk. She sends regular texts with recommendations, books, music, groups to join for extra help etc. Being understood is a big win.

I really like how Geri nutshells things and doesn’t just ‘listen’. She actively guides and facilitates ‘penny dropping’ moments. If you want a more direct and interactive approach, Geri is your woman!
