About Geoff
Geoff Warriner is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach focussed on helping people regain control of their lives. He combines practical techniques with reflective work to address problems like stress, anxiety, addiction and low self-esteem. Geoff aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly about difficult feelings.
He draws on Client-Centred and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to build immediate coping skills. Those methods can help manage day-to-day anxiety, mood swings and unhelpful thinking patterns.
Background and approach
He also uses Psychodynamic and Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current behaviour and emotions. Geoff has three years' experience and is a BACP member, with a first class degree in counselling. He began his work supporting people affected by addiction before moving into independent practice.
This background informs his practical focus on recovery and relapse prevention. Sessions often mix short-term practical work with longer conversations that explore past patterns. Geoff adapts the pace and approach to each person's needs and goals.
He supports people dealing with grief, relationship problems, anger, career stress and major life changes. People can expect straightforward language and a focus on workable steps. Geoff offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
Sessions are held in English and he accepts international clients.
How Geoff’s approaches work online
Geoff blends Client-Centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas. Client-Centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own answers; it is useful for building confidence and emotional clarity. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers practical tools to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can ease anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based ideas look at how early bonds shape current relationships and patterns, helping with attachment issues and ongoing relationship problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Geoff will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try methods that match those priorities. That process is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow a face-to-face feel, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when movement is needed, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging works for ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
