Geoff Warriner, BACP

Geoff Warriner uses an integrative approach to therapy, drawing on attachment, psychodynamic, client-centred and cognitive behavioural ideas to suit each person’s needs. He aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk openly about painful experiences and day-to-day struggles. Geoff holds a BACP accreditation, and he brings three years of professional experience to his work.

He offers practical coping strategies for stress, anxiety and depression alongside deeper work on relationship and attachment patterns. Sessions can look at past experiences that shape current choices, while also building skills to manage emotions and behaviour in the present. This mix helps if someone needs short-term changes or longer-term understanding.

Geoff has a particular interest in addiction and related concerns, and he also supports people dealing with grief, anger, low self-esteem and life transitions. He will tailor conversations and goals to each person rather than following a fixed formula. Expect a collaborative process where the pace is set by the client.

Work can include exploring communication and commitment issues, coping with chronic illness or caring responsibilities, and questions about control or dependency. Geoff also helps with body image, workplace stress and career worries. He balances practical techniques with reflective discussion.

Sessions are offered in English and available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Geoff describes himself as warm, non-judgemental and compassionate, and he aims to adapt his way of working to suit different concerns and preferences.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Geoff uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people understand repeated relationship difficulties and feelings of abandonment or dependency.

He also uses client-centred methods that focus on the person’s experience in the moment, offering empathic listening and reflection to help someone find their own solutions and build self-esteem.

Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies for anxiety, depression or addiction behaviours. These tools can be simple to practice between sessions and suit people wanting concrete coping steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Geoff will discuss goals and preferences and try different ways of working to see what fits best. The process is collaborative, with adjustments made as understanding grows.

Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules. Video is useful for a fuller conversational exchange, phone calls can be quicker check-ins, and messaging suits short updates or people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to arrange regular sessions across locations and to keep therapy going when life gets busy.
