About Geoff

Geoff Warriner works on stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship problems, grief and depression using a mix of approaches he describes as attachment-based, client-centred, cognitive behavioural, existential and psychodynamic. He is a BACP member and has three years' professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Geoff offers conversations aimed at understanding what feels stuck and finding practical ways to move forward. He listens to how past experiences link to current patterns and helps people try different thoughts and behaviours to ease distress. Sessions are focused on what the person wants to change and on small, manageable steps between meetings.

He has a background working with people affected by addiction and paraphilic issues and has worked with people experiencing trauma, chronic illness, cancer-related worry, and caregiver stress. His practice also addresses relationship and communication problems, self-esteem and anger, and life transitions such as divorce or separation.

Geoff trained in counselling and gained a first-class degree that covered humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural ideas. He is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). His experience includes work in both community settings and private practice.

In sessions he draws on attachment ideas to look at patterns from earlier relationships and uses client-centred methods to keep conversation focused on the person's concerns. Cognitive behavioural techniques are offered where practical changes to thinking and behaviour are helpful. He supports people who are coping with complex problems and helps them plan manageable next steps.

How his therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice repeating habits in relationships; it can help with abandonment, attachment issues and communication problems. Client-centred counselling focuses on the person's agenda and uses reflective listening to clarify feelings and goals; this approach supports work on self-esteem, grief and coping with life changes. Cognitive behavioural techniques involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours, which is useful for anxiety, depression and managing cravings in addiction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Geoff will discuss goals and preferences with each person and propose which methods to try. He treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts the focus as progress or new concerns arise.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can help fit counselling around work, caregiving and daily routines, and they make it easier to meet without travel. They also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video, which can help when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are needed.
