About Geoffrey
Geoffrey Norton is a UK-based counsellor with three years' experience supporting people dealing with stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. He holds a Postgraduate Diploma/Master of Arts level background and lists registrations with BACP and NCPS. Geoffrey aims to make the first step into therapy straightforward and approachable for worried parents and adults alike.
He offers a person-centred way of working that puts listening first. Sessions focus on exploring thoughts and feelings without judgement, so people can better understand what is driving their distress. Geoffrey describes his approach as relational - building a trusting connection to make it easier to talk openly.
Geoffrey draws on a mix of counselling ideas, while mainly using Client-Centred methods. He also uses elements from existential thinking and solution-focused work to help people find meaning and practical steps forward. This blend is used to suit each person's needs rather than following a rigid formula.
He has lived and worked in multiple countries including Spain, the USA and Colombia, and says that varied life experience informs his work. Geoffrey frames counselling as a creative step that can reduce unnecessary suffering and support personal development.
In sessions he aims to be steady and engaged, helping people talk through worries such as panic attacks, grief, relationship strain or life transitions. Prospective clients are encouraged to check the session options and scheduling before booking, so they can find what fits their life.
How Geoffrey's approaches translate to online work
Geoffrey uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on empathic listening and acceptance, helping people talk through feelings and understand their reactions. This approach is useful for anxiety, panic and self-esteem concerns where being heard matters most.He also brings in Solution-Focused Therapy to identify practical, short-term steps that can reduce immediate distress. This can be helpful for managing panic attacks or finding quick ways to cope during stressful periods.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Geoffrey will discuss goals and preferences with each person and then shape sessions around what feels most helpful. He emphasises working together to match the methods to the issue at hand rather than using a single fixed model.
The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier fitting of sessions into busy lives and the chance to meet without commuting. Some people prefer simpler check-ins by phone when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, while others choose video when seeing faces helps the connection. Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking so appointments can be arranged to suit your routine.
