About Geoffrey
Geoffrey Norton is a UK-based counsellor with three years' practice helping people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. He is qualified with postgraduate diplomas and a master's and lists BACP and NCPS as his professional credentials. Geoffrey offers a calm, relational style aimed at making it easier to talk about difficult feelings.
He works in a person-centred way, listening without judgement and helping people make sense of their thoughts and emotions.
Background and approach
That approach is useful for worries about self-esteem, panic, grief, trauma and life changes. Geoffrey also supports people dealing with intimacy concerns, anger and the strain of parenting. His practice draws on existential ideas that encourage people to consider values, meaning and life direction.
He uses solution-focused techniques too, which help set small, practical goals and track progress between sessions. These combined ways of working help people move from stuckness to manageable steps. Geoffrey brings life experience from living in Spain, the USA and Colombia to his counselling.
Before specialising in psychotherapy he worked in many different jobs, which informs his practical outlook. He aims to build a genuine connection with each person and to make sessions straightforward and useful. People meet him for short-term practical work or for longer conversations about identity, purpose and emotional resilience.
He offers sessions in English and works with clients in the United Kingdom as well as international clients by online formats.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Geoffrey integrates person-centred work with solution-focused and existential ideas to shape online counselling. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and acceptance, helping people feel understood so they can talk openly about stress, anxiety and self-worth. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small goals, so sessions can produce visible changes between meetings. Existential Therapy encourages discussion about values, life purpose and choices, which can help when people feel stuck or are facing big life decisions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Geoffrey will collaborate with each person to choose the methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process means sessions can shift over time as new priorities emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow a face-to-face style conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter updates or for people who prefer written reflection. These options aim to make counselling more flexible and accessible for different schedules and lifestyles.
