   About Geoffrey

   Geoffrey Fenney is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and depression. Geoffrey encourages clients to see themselves as the expert in their own story and to build on their existing strengths.

   He works in a straightforward, respectful way. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person seeking help. Geoffrey helps clients notice what motivates them and find realistic steps to move forward. He values clear, gentle conversations over jargon and long lectures.

   Geoffrey draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people resolve ambivalence and strengthen their motivation for change. He also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches to build trust and to understand how past relationships affect present patterns. Mindfulness and Psychodynamic ideas may be brought in when they suit a person’s goals.

   Practical concerns are addressed alongside emotional ones. Geoffrey will help people set small, manageable goals and review progress together. The work is collaborative - he listens, reflects, and offers questions and techniques that match each person’s needs.

   People who prefer a calm, encouraging style tend to find his approach helpful. He emphasises patience and steady progress rather than quick fixes. If you are considering therapy, Geoffrey invites you to take the next step and begin with a short matching questionnaire.

2. How his approaches work online and what to expect

   Geoffrey uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find and strengthen their own reasons for change. This approach involves open conversation and reflective questions to clarify values and build commitment. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to understand how early relationships shape current patterns, helping people notice repeated dynamics and try new ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and empathy, giving people space to tell their story and make sense of their feelings.
   
   Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Geoffrey will talk with you about your goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together you will try approaches and adjust as needed, so the process stays practical and collaborative rather than prescriptive.
   
   Please confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor pace, homework and techniques to suit online meetings and real-life schedules.
