About Geoffrey
Geoffrey Norton is a UK-based counsellor with three years of practical experience. He trained at postgraduate level and holds a PGDip/MA, and he works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and struggles with self-esteem. His practice is grounded in person-centred work.
He listens carefully and helps people talk through thoughts and feelings without judgement. That simple, steady attention is the starting point for the rest of the work. Geoffrey draws on several counselling theories but keeps the relationship central.
Background and approach
He aims to build a trusting connection so conversations can go deeper and feel safer. That relational focus shapes how sessions are organised and how goals are set. Life experience also informs his approach.
He has lived in Spain, the USA and Colombia and held many different jobs before moving into psychotherapy. Those experiences help him understand practical life challenges and cultural differences. Sessions tend to look at both immediate problems and longer-term questions about purpose and meaning.
Geoffrey can support people dealing with relationship strain, grief, trauma and changes in life direction. He also works with issues such as anger, parenting concerns, attachment difficulties and feelings of emptiness. People who come to him often want a straightforward, human-centred space to be heard and to work out practical next steps.
He combines careful listening with simple, goal-focused ideas to help people cope and move forward.

Online support
How these approaches work online
Geoffrey draws on Existential Therapy to help people reflect on meaning, choice and personal responsibility. This approach is useful for those facing life changes, feelings of emptiness or questions about purpose. Client-Centred Therapy is another core element and centres on listening, acceptance and building a strong therapeutic relationship. It helps when someone needs a steady space to talk and be heard. He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify practical steps and small, achievable goals for specific problems like anxiety or stress.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Geoffrey will talk through the options with each person and tailor the style to their needs, goals and preferences. Sessions can shift over time - sometimes more reflective, sometimes more goal-oriented - depending on what is helpful for the person.
Online formats offer real practical benefits. Video calls let the conversation feel close to an in-person meeting, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for ongoing check-ins and flexible timing without needing to be on camera. These options make it easier to arrange regular sessions around work, family and other commitments, and help maintain continuity when life gets busy.
