About Geoff
BACP. First class degree in Counselling. Three years' experience. Geoff Warriner works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, grief and low mood using practical talking therapies he describes as integrative and person-focused.
He uses several approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural techniques. Sessions focus on understanding patterns that cause distress and on building day-to-day strategies to manage mood, anger and worries. He also supports people with self-esteem, career concerns and coping with life changes.
Geoff’s background includes work with people affected by addiction and with individuals who have experienced trauma. He trained in counselling with a first class degree that covered humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural perspectives. He is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP.
In practice he aims to combine different approaches to suit what a person brings. That might mean looking at early attachment experiences, using practical CBT techniques, or exploring personal meaning and choices. Sessions are described in straightforward terms and focus on what helps in daily life.
Sessions are delivered in English and are available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session options and formats offered by the service.
How attachment work and CBT are used in online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at patterns from early relationships and how they affect current connections and trust. It can help with relationship problems, abandonment concerns and difficulties forming close bonds.Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they can clarify their own feelings and choices. This approach is useful for people wanting a supportive space to talk through grief, career worries or self-esteem issues.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thoughts and routines by introducing practical strategies. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with stress and can produce manageable steps to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then agree an approach together. That way the plan can combine different methods if needed and be reviewed as therapy continues.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings or skip video if that helps them engage better.
