About Geoff

Geoff Warriner is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. He works with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship problems, grief and low mood. He also addresses issues such as anger, self-esteem, career strain and coping with life changes.

He uses a range of approaches to suit what a person brings. Geoff draws on Attachment-Based, Client-Centred and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas alongside psychodynamic and existential ways of working. That lets him respond to both present difficulties and patterns rooted in earlier relationships.

Sessions focus on practical steps and understanding what keeps problems going. For some people that means building coping strategies for day-to-day life. For others it involves talking about early experiences that shape current feelings and behaviour.

He has a first-class degree in counselling and is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). His early work included supporting people and families affected by addiction before moving into private practice.

Geoff works with additional concerns such as attachment issues, avoidant and dependent personality patterns, codependency, body image and the stresses of caregiving. He also has experience supporting people dealing with chronic illness, cancer and the practical impacts of separation and divorce.

Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial appointment through the See online therapy options button.

How Geoff’s approaches work for online sessions

Attachment-Based work looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current feelings and behaviour. It can help when anxiety or avoidance ties back to past attachments. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what someone is experiencing, giving space to make sense of problems and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviours that maintain anxiety, offering practical skills to try between sessions.

Finding the best mix of these approaches is part of the work. Geoff will discuss goals and preferences and then try ways of working that suit the person. That collaborative planning means the approach can change as therapy progresses.

Confirm the session formats before booking using the See online therapy options button and the short matching questionnaire. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work or childcare and reduce travel time. They can also allow for shorter check-ins when time or bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals use these options to help people manage anxiety, relationships and life changes while keeping therapy practical and focused.
