Geoffrey is easy to get along with, I feel at ease speaking freely with him, he listens and his reponses suggest he understands my point of view, and for the first time in a while, whether they be right or wrong, my feeling actually felt valid.

More about Geoffrey
- 3 years' experience
- Male
- BACP
I am a UK-qualified (PGdip/MA) integrative humanistic counsellor. I have 3 years experience working mainly with people suffering from stress, anxiety, depression and issues around self-esteem.
My practice draws on a number of different counselling theories but is primarily person-centred, based on the exploration of thoughts and feelings heard without judgement.
I think my clinical training and practice is supported by a rich life-experience. Aside from the UK, I have lived in Spain, the USA, and Colombia. I spent years doing many different jobs before focussing on a career in psychotherapy.
I believe that engaging in counselling is a very positive and creative step to take because therapy can potentially both alleviate unnecessary psychological suffering whilst also promoting personal development.
I like to think that my style of counselling is, above all, relational. I use this to try and forge as deep a connection as possible with my clients. For me, this relationship is the basis of the 'therapeutic alliance' and the platform on which effective therapy can happen.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
