About Geoff
Geoff Warriner is a counsellor who uses a practical, people-centred approach to help with stress and anxiety. He offers calm, non-judgemental support so clients can talk about what feels hard and begin to make changes. Geoff works online and welcomes people who prefer remote sessions in English.
He bases his work on client-centred principles that put the person's experience first. That means listening carefully and shaping conversations around what matters most to the client.
Background and approach
Geoff also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas when people need clear strategies to manage thoughts, moods and day-to-day coping. Geoff has three years of professional experience and holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which he uses as a framework for ethical practice.
He trained to degree level in counselling, studying humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive approaches, and combines these perspectives in his work. Clients commonly come to him for help with anxiety, stress, depression, relationship difficulties, addiction and grief. He also supports people facing life changes, career challenges and struggles with self-esteem and anger.
Geoff will adapt sessions to suit the individual concerns a person brings. Sessions can include shorter practical tasks or longer conversations about life patterns and past experiences. Geoff aims to make the process collaborative, so goals and methods are agreed together and reviewed as things change.
Approaches for online therapy and practical change
Geoff commonly blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques to help people make practical changes. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping the person lead the pace of sessions; it suits people who need space to make sense of their feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers simple, repeatable strategies to reduce anxiety and improve coping.The choice of approach is a collaborative process. Geoff will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then agree on methods to try together. If one way of working does not feel right, he will review and adapt the plan so it fits the client’s needs and changing circumstances.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face style conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in, live chat suits people who prefer typing, and messaging lets someone share thoughts between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments, and make it easier to keep continuity during busy or changing lives.
