About Geoffrey
Geoffrey Fenney is a counsellor with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Geoffrey emphasises that clients know their own story and brings a respectful, listening-focused approach to each session.
He focuses on helping people build on strengths they already have. Sessions aim to make difficult feelings easier to name and manage. Geoffrey offers a calm space to talk through painful memories and current pressures without judgement.
His way of working draws on attachment-based ideas to look at close relationships and patterns that repeat in life. He also uses client-centred methods that keep the person’s goals at the centre of the work. Mindfulness techniques are used to help with stress and grounding when anxiety or intrusive thoughts feel overwhelming.
Geoffrey values practical steps alongside reflection. That might mean setting small goals between sessions, trying brief exercises in the moment, or practising new ways of noticing thought patterns. He aims for short, clear conversations that fit into everyday life.
People who come to him often want straightforward support for worries, relationship patterns, or coping after loss or difficult events. Geoffrey encourages questions up front and works together with people to decide what to try next.
How his approaches work in online counselling
Geoffrey uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships affect feelings and behaviour. This approach helps people notice repeating patterns that can cause anxiety, abandonment fears or difficulty trusting others.He also works in a client-centred way, which means sessions follow what the person wants to focus on. The counsellor listens closely and helps people find their own solutions rather than imposing steps.
Mindfulness practices are offered to help with stress and overwhelming thoughts. These are simple exercises you can try between conversations to help with grounding and noticing unhelpful reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Geoffrey will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences. Together they decide which combination of methods to try and adjust things as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats available before booking as the biography does not list formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also mean less need to be on camera for people who prefer audio-only conversations.
