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 emphasises that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. He aims to make the first step feel manageable and affirms the courage it takes to begin therapy.

Geoffrey uses approaches that look at how early connections shape current feelings and relationships. He also draws on client-centred and mindfulness ways of working to help people notice thoughts and everyday habits that keep problems going. Sessions tend to be conversational and paced to suit the individual rather than rushed.

In practice he helps people talk through difficult emotions like guilt, shame, loss and low confidence. He also supports those coping with chronic illness, body image concerns, addiction-related issues and complex family dynamics. Geoffrey listens for patterns that link past experiences with present difficulties and works with people to try different ways of responding.

He encourages small, achievable steps and focuses on practical changes as well as understanding. Motivational interviewing informs how he supports people to find their own reasons for change. Psychodynamic ideas are used when tracing how old relationship problems affect current choices.

Geoffrey works in English and accepts international clients. He asks people to take the first step by selecting the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire to arrange sessions.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Geoffrey draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current reactions and connection patterns. This approach helps when people struggle with abandonment, attachment issues or repeated relationship problems.

He also uses client-centred work, which means sessions focus on the person's experience and pace. This approach supports people who need a non-judgemental space to talk through anxiety, grief or low self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Geoffrey treats it as collaborative. He will listen to your goals and preferences and help decide which way of working fits best. That choice can change as work progresses and new priorities emerge.

If you prefer online sessions, check which formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Confirming options helps match sessions to your routine, whether you need shorter check-ins, quieter surroundings or something that fits into a work break. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life without needing extra travel, and the therapist will help plan sessions that suit your commitments and goals.
