Geoffrey Fenney, BACP

Geoffrey Fenney is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and the effects of trauma and abuse. Geoffrey works in English and supports clients internationally through online sessions.

Geoffrey believes people know their story best. He focuses on building on a person's strengths and helping them find practical ways forward. Sessions are conversational and centred on what the client wants to achieve, not on fitting people into labels.

He uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. Attachment-based ideas help when past relationships affect current feelings. Client-centred work puts the person's goals at the heart of therapy. Mindfulness techniques are used to help with stress and overwhelming emotions.

Geoffrey also draws on motivational interviewing and psychodynamic concepts to help with motivation, repeated patterns and deeper understanding of how past experiences shape reactions today. He talks things through at a steady pace and helps people try small changes between sessions.

People who pick Geoffrey often want straightforward support for day-to-day struggles and deeper issues alike. He encourages honest conversation and practical steps. Signing up starts with a short questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client's life.

Practical approaches for online therapy

Geoffrey uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. This approach can help when people notice repeating patterns in how they relate to others or feel abandoned and anxious. Client-centred work puts the client at the centre of the conversation and focuses on their goals, helping people feel heard while they decide the next steps. Mindfulness techniques teach simple ways to notice and manage stress and strong emotions, which can reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day coping.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Geoffrey will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then decide together what to try first. That collaborative planning makes it easier to adjust the focus if something does not fit.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the work consistent and focused.
