About Geoffrey

Geoffrey Scott is a counsellor who uses client-centred, cognitive behavioural and solution-focused ways of working. He focuses on practical steps people can take to reduce anxiety and stress. Geoffrey also helps with relationship worries, self-esteem, life changes and phobias.

He begins by listening closely to what matters most to the person in front of him. That first stage is about making sense of patterns and pinpointing simple goals. Sessions aim to be straightforward and respectful, with space to talk and to try out small changes between meetings.

Background and approach

Geoffrey combines the person-centred stance with CBT tools to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. That combination helps with panic, phobias and repetitive worries. He also draws on solution-focused ideas to build on what already works in someone’s life and to set clear, short-term steps.

Across seven years in practice he has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including issues linked to sexuality, commitment and body image. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and take place online through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging.

People begin by answering a short matching questionnaire, then scheduling sessions that suit their timetable.

Approaches in online counselling and how they help

Client‑centred therapy focuses on you as the expert on your life. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps you name what matters, which can reduce anxiety and improve confidence. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical techniques to manage panic, phobias and persistent worry. Solution‑Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and what already works, helping people make quick forward progress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Geoffrey will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or hindered you in the past. Together you will try methods and agree which ones to keep, adapt or set aside so the work fits your life and needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check‑in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can suit people who prefer written exchanges or want to fit sessions around a busy day. These options support access and make it easier to keep momentum between sessions.
