About Geoffrey
Geoffrey Norton is a UK counsellor with a PGDip and MA and three years of practice. He works mainly with stress, anxiety, depression and self-esteem concerns, and lists relationship and parenting matters among his focus areas.
He follows a person-centred way of working, emphasising careful listening and the exploration of thoughts and feelings. Geoffrey draws on a mix of approaches but puts the client and the conversational relationship at the centre of sessions.
His background includes living in Spain, the USA and Colombia and a variety of life and work experiences before training in psychotherapy. He uses that wider experience to relate to different life situations and viewpoints.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and conversational. Geoffrey pays attention to what people say and how they say it, and helps them notice patterns that matter to daily life. He keeps language plain and practical so people can try things between meetings.
People in blended households who are adjusting to new routines, roles or loyalties may find his focus areas relevant, as he lists blended family issues among his additional concerns. He also works with topics such as attachment, grief, anger and intimacy-related issues.
Overall, his approach is relational and client-centred. He looks to build a working relationship that supports people to manage current problems and consider next steps in their lives.
Approaches and how online sessions are used
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people reflect on their own thoughts and feelings. It can help with emotional difficulties like anxiety, low mood and issues around self-worth by making room for personal reflection.Existential Therapy looks at questions about meaning, choice and responsibility. It is useful when people are coping with life changes, questions about purpose, or feelings of emptiness and isolation.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical changes and short-term goals. It is often helpful for people seeking concrete steps to manage stress, panic or relationship tensions.
Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. Geoffrey will work with each person to test what helps and adjust methods as goals and preferences become clearer. The aim is to pick ways of working that fit the person's situation and what they want to achieve.
