About Geoffrey

Geoffrey Fenney helps people work through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression using a client-focused approach. He works from the view that each person knows their own story and brings strengths they can build on. Geoffrey is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and has three years of professional experience.

He listens without imposing answers and supports people to find practical steps forward. Sessions involve talking through what matters most, noticing patterns that cause pain, and trying different ways to respond. Geoffrey uses methods drawn from attachment-based work, client-centred practice and mindfulness to guide these conversations.

In practice he pays attention to relationships and how early experiences affect current feelings and choices. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to consider recurring themes, and motivational interviewing to help with change and commitment. These approaches are used to address issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, and problems with commitment or control.

Geoffrey has worked with issues that include body image, chronic illness and pain, addiction, family problems and the emotional effects of separation. He helps people facing guilt, shame or difficulty forgiving themselves or others. Sessions focus on clear, manageable goals and reviewing progress over time.

He offers counselling in English and accepts international clients. To start, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange an initial session.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Geoffrey uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behaviour; this helps when people want to understand why they repeat certain patterns or feel unsafe in relationships. Client-centred work focuses on a non-directive way of talking where the counsellor follows the client’s lead to clarify what matters and build confidence. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and manage strong emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Geoffrey will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try methods together to see what helps. That decision is made collaboratively and can change as therapy progresses.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people meet without travelling. It can also offer options such as phone-only conversations if video is difficult, which may suit quieter connections or shorter appointments.
