Geoff Warriner, BACP

Geoff Warriner is a UK-based counsellor who offers warm, empathetic support for people navigating stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties and other life challenges. With three years of clinical experience, he works with individuals facing depression, grief, anger, self-esteem concerns, career transitions and coping with life changes, and he has particular experience supporting people affected by addiction and paraphilic issues.

Geoff creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore deep-rooted childhood patterns as well as practical coping strategies for day-to-day life. He believes in treating every person with respect, sensitivity and compassion, and he adapts conversations and treatment plans to each individual’s needs and goals. He also accepts international clients and provides flexible ways to connect.

Geoff trained to a high standard, holding a first-class degree in Counselling that covered humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral perspectives, and he is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He began his career working with families and individuals affected by addiction before moving into private practice, and he practices integratively, selecting approaches that fit each person’s situation.

Approaches and Online Access to Therapy

Geoff works with several evidence-informed approaches to help people in different ways. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns - it can be useful for people struggling with trust, abandonment issues or repeating relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work and emphasizes empathy and acceptance to support self-understanding and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Geoff collaborates with each person to decide what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. He combines elements from different models when that alignment serves the client’s progress.

Online therapy with Geoff is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to access support from different locations. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and formats, allowing therapists and clients to work together in ways that suit individual routines and comfort levels.
