About Geoffrey
Geoffrey Norton is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS, with three years' experience working primarily with stress, anxiety and depression. He practices in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Geoffrey's work also covers self-esteem, relationship difficulties, trauma and grief among other concerns.
He describes his practice as person-centred, meaning conversations focus on the client's own thoughts and feelings. He listens without judgement and uses that relationship as the core of the work. This direct way of working aims to create space to talk through what feels difficult.
Geoffrey draws on a range of counselling ideas, but often brings client-centred, existential and solution-focused perspectives into sessions. That mix lets him both look at immediate practical steps and consider deeper questions about meaning and values. Sessions can therefore include short-term problem solving alongside wider reflection.
His background includes living and working in Spain, the USA and Colombia, and several different jobs before moving into psychotherapy. Geoffrey says that life experience informs his practice and how he connects with people.
In a session he aims to build a collaborative relationship and to help people reduce unnecessary psychological distress while also addressing personal development. People who find social situations, being watched or meeting new people hard may find his calm, relational approach relevant when exploring social anxiety and phobia and related worries.
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Geoffrey commonly brings together client-centred, existential and solution-focused ways of working. Client-Centred Therapy centres the conversation on the person's own experience, with the counsellor listening and reflecting to help clarify feelings and thoughts. This can help when someone feels anxious in social situations and needs a chance to speak without interruption.Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice and responsibility. It can help people who feel stuck, empty or unsure about life purpose to examine what matters to them and how they want to live. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small, achievable changes that move a person toward their goals over a few sessions.
Choosing the right mix is a collaborative process. Geoffrey will work with the client to figure out which approaches fit their needs, goals and preferences, and may adapt methods as work progresses.
The practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time.
