Geraldine Cain is a Clinical Psychologist and Psychologist based in Richmond, VIC. Her practice is at 232 Lenox Street, Richmond VIC 3121. If you’re looking for support that feels practical and down to earth, she offers therapy for individuals, couples and families.
In individual sessions, Geraldine helps people untangle what’s going on in their day-to-day life. That might be feeling stressed and run down, feeling stuck in unhelpful thought loops, or finding it hard to cope with big changes. At times, it can be about anxiety or low mood, but even when the problem feels “small”, it still matters. Therapy can help you make sense of things and build better ways to respond.
For couples, sessions focus on the patterns that can start to wear both people down. Sometimes it’s about communication getting tangled, or conflict repeating itself. Other times it’s about feeling disconnected and wanting a steadier way to work as a team. Couples counselling can create space to talk things through, understand each other better, and look at real changes you can try together.
Family therapy is also available. Families can be dealing with pressure from work, school, relationships, or changes at home. Geraldine helps families get clarity on what’s happening and work out more helpful ways to support each other. The aim is usually simple: less stress and more calm, with clearer boundaries and better routines where needed.
Geraldine also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT. This approach looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It’s not about “positive thinking” only. It’s about noticing what drives your reactions, and learning tools you can actually use in real life. Stress management techniques are part of the work too, so people can better handle busy days, worries, and the physical side of stress.
If you’re not sure where to start, that’s okay. Many people come in with mixed feelings and different concerns at once. Therapy can begin by mapping out what you want to change, and then working step by step from there.
