Geoffrey Norton, BACP, NCPS

Geoffrey Norton is a UK-qualified integrative humanistic counsellor who holds a Postgraduate Diploma and a Master of Arts, and is registered with BACP and NCPS as a professional counsellor. He has three years of clinical experience working mainly with people experiencing stress, anxiety, depression and difficulties with self-esteem. Geoffrey blends a number of counselling theories into an integrative practice, while keeping a strong focus on person-centred work where thoughts and feelings are explored without judgement.

His therapeutic style is deliberately relational - he aims to build a genuine connection that becomes the foundation for change. Geoffrey believes that therapy is both a practical and creative step: it can relieve unnecessary psychological suffering while also supporting personal growth and development. That belief is informed not only by his clinical training but also by a wide range of life experience. Having lived in Spain, the USA and Colombia and worked in many different roles before training in psychotherapy, he brings a broad perspective to his work.

Geoffrey works collaboratively with clients to understand their concerns and to shape a way forward that aligns with their values and goals. He welcomes people who are ready to explore their thoughts, emotions and relationships in a respectful, empathic environment.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions with a Relational Focus

Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, offering empathic listening and acceptance so people can explore their feelings and sense of self. It is helpful for issues such as low self-esteem, anxiety and relationship concerns because it prioritises the client’s experience and personal growth.

Existential Therapy invites clients to examine meaning, choice and responsibility in their lives. It can be useful for people struggling with life transitions, a sense of emptiness, grief or questions about purpose, helping them clarify values and navigate difficult decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Geoffrey works collaboratively to identify what fits best for each person. He and the client will consider needs, goals and preferences together, adjusting the focus over time so therapy remains relevant and helpful.

Online therapy with a registered professional offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, in live chat or via text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, and allow people to access support from wherever they are living.
