About Geoffrey
Geoffrey Fenney is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, loss or trauma. Geoffrey works from the belief that each person is the expert on their own life and already has strengths to build on.
He aims for straightforward, honest sessions. Geoffrey listens closely and helps clients make sense of difficult feelings. He encourages small, practical steps that fit into everyday life rather than grand plans that feel impossible to start.
Background and approach
Geoffrey draws on approaches that look at how early relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. He uses client-centred ways of working to keep the session focused on the person in front of him. Mindfulness exercises are used when helpful to reduce reactivity and increase calm.
Sessions are usually a mix of talking and simple exercises. Geoffrey helps people notice patterns, practise new responses, and steady themselves during hard moments. He offers gentle challenge when it will move things forward and space for reflection when needed.
People often come for help with grief, low self-esteem, addiction issues, relationship and family pressures, chronic illness, and recovery after abuse. Geoffrey aims to make starting therapy easier by guiding the first steps and working at a pace that suits each person.

Online support
He also works in a client-centred way which means sessions follow the client’s pace and priorities. That style supports people who need time to be heard and to make sense of their experience before trying new strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Geoffrey will talk with each person about what feels most helpful and adapt methods to match their goals and preferences. Decisions are made together so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single way of working.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into your day. Video calls let you see each other and use visual cues, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging can suit shorter updates or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options give more flexibility for people balancing work, family or health demands.
