Geoffrey Fenney, BACP

Geoffrey Fenney is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and depression. Geoffrey describes clients as the experts in their own stories and aims to build on their strengths. He encourages people who find the first step hard and acknowledges that starting therapy can take courage.

Geoffrey uses a mix of approaches in his work. He draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current feelings and patterns. He uses client-centred methods to keep sessions focused on what each person needs, and he brings mindfulness techniques to help with overwhelming emotions and repeated thought patterns.

Sessions tend to be conversational and practical. Geoffrey listens closely, helps people notice thoughts and feelings, and supports them to try small changes between sessions. He often uses motivational interviewing to uncover what would help a person move forward when motivation feels low.

People come to him for a wide range of concerns, including coping with long-term illness or chronic pain, body image issues, difficulties linked to family changes, bereavement, and problems with substance use. Geoffrey works to create a steady, non-judgemental space where clients can talk things through and set achievable goals.

He offers care in English and is open to working with clients from other countries. Before booking, people should follow the site process to match with him and schedule sessions that fit their needs.

Therapeutic approaches applied to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at patterns from past relationships and how they shape present reactions, helping people notice recurring ways of relating and begin to make different choices. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the client's lead so the session reflects what matters most to them. Mindfulness therapy teaches practical attention skills to reduce reactivity and to manage intense thoughts and feelings in day-to-day life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Geoffrey will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting the focus as needs change over time. The aim is a joint process where the client's priorities guide what is tried in sessions.

Check the session-format details before booking because the biography does not list specific online or in-person options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove the need to travel. It can also make it simpler to continue therapy when managing chronic illness or fluctuating energy, while the therapist and client agree practical arrangements that suit their schedules.
