About Geoffrey
Geoffrey Norton is a counsellor and a member of BACP and NCPS with three years' experience. He works mainly with stress, anxiety, depression and self-esteem concerns. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients.
He trained in the UK with a PGdip and MA and combines several humanistic approaches. His practice is primarily person-centred, which means he focuses on listening to thoughts and feelings without judgement. He also draws on existential and solution-focused ideas when they fit the client's needs.
Geoffrey describes his way of working as relational. He aims to build a clear connection with each person to form a constructive working relationship. That connection becomes the basis for discussing behaviours, patterns and practical steps.
He also brings life experience from living in Spain, the USA and Colombia and from having done many different jobs before moving into therapy work. Geoffrey uses that background to relate to everyday pressures and transitions rather than relying only on technical language.
Typical topics he helps people talk through include relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and intimacy-related problems. He also supports people dealing with anger, parenting strains, feelings of emptiness, attachment concerns and panic symptoms.
Sessions combine careful listening with focused goal work when appropriate. He may explore meaning and values with existential questions or use short-term solution-focused ideas to identify next steps. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking.
Approaches used in online counselling and how they help
Geoffrey uses a person-centred approach in which the counsellor listens to thoughts and feelings without judgement. This style helps people who need to be heard and who want time to understand what they feel. Existential therapy appears in his practice as well, focusing on questions of meaning, values and life choices; it can help with life transitions, emptiness and issues about purpose.He also draws on solution-focused work that looks for small, practical changes and next steps. That approach is useful when the aim is to identify concrete actions or short-term goals rather than long-term exploration. Deciding which approach to use is a shared task; Geoffrey will work with the client to find what fits best according to their needs, goals and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in his biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, avoid travel and allow a quicker check-in between commitments. They can also allow people to choose shorter or more focused meetings when that suits their routine. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often combine listening with practical steps in online work to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship matters and life changes.
