Geoff Warriner , BACP

Geoff Warriner is an integrative counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties, grief and life changes. He creates a warm and nonjudgmental space where individuals can explore deep-rooted issues, build practical coping strategies for day-to-day life, or work somewhere between those goals depending on what they need.

He offers tailored sessions that draw on Humanistic, Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy perspectives learned during his first class degree in Counselling. This integrative approach allows him to adapt techniques to each person's situation, whether the focus is on depression, anger, self-esteem, or more specialised concerns such as addiction and paraphiliac issues.

Geoff began his career working with families and individuals affected by addiction before moving into private practice, and he has completed additional training in areas such as trauma, depression and anxiety. He is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which denotes professional membership with a UK counselling body, and he brings three years of professional experience to his clinical work. He aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, compassion and empathy while shaping a plan that meets each person’s unique needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and trust; it helps people understand attachment-related fears, abandonment concerns and the ways these patterns affect relationships today. Client-Centered Therapy emphasises empathy, acceptance and collaborative dialogue, offering a supportive environment where people can explore feelings and build self-awareness at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Geoff works collaboratively to find the best fit for each person's needs, goals and preferences. He combines elements from different models when appropriate and reviews progress together so the plan can be adapted over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments. For many people, these options increase access to licensed professionals and allow consistent support regardless of location.
