About Geoffrey
Geoffrey Fenney is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. He also supports those dealing with issues such as abandonment, attachment problems, codependency, and guilt and shame.
Geoffrey works from the view that each person knows their own story best. He listens to what matters to the client and helps them notice their existing strengths. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps alongside talking through feelings and patterns that keep someone stuck.
His style draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. He uses client-centred listening to follow what the person brings and mindfulness techniques to bring attention back to the present moment. Motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas are used when helpful to understand motivation and deeper patterns.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation and help spotting realistic next steps. Geoffrey pays attention to how things like family roles, blended family stress, illness, or recovery from addiction affect mood and self-image. He also works with people navigating forgiveness, commitment questions, and issues around fatherhood.
He speaks English and accepts international clients. To begin a first session, people are invited to use the platform process to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange their initial meeting.
How Geoffrey uses different approaches online
Geoffrey draws from attachment-based therapy to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. Online sessions using this approach can help people notice patterns in close relationships and how they respond to loss, abandonment or trust issues.He also uses client-centred therapy which focuses on listening and following what the person brings. In practice this means conversations that let the client set the pace while the counsellor reflects and clarifies what matters most.
Mindfulness techniques feature as short exercises to bring attention back to the present and reduce rumination. These can be simple guided practices that fit into a daily routine and support work on anxiety, stress or persistent shame.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Geoffrey will work with the client to try different ways of working and agree what feels most useful based on their needs and goals. He checks in about progress and adjusts the focus as the work continues.
