Geoffrey Fenney, BACP

Geoffrey Fenney is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and a BACP credential. He aims to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief or the effects of trauma and abuse. Geoffrey emphasises each person's strengths and works from the idea that clients know their own stories best.

He uses straightforward, respectful conversation to help people gain clarity and calm. Sessions focus on understanding what matters most to the client and on small, practical steps that can reduce pressure and improve day-to-day coping. Geoffrey pays attention to how past relationships and attachment patterns shape current reactions.

Mindfulness techniques are introduced where they fit, helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. Motivational interviewing is used to explore ambivalence and build personal commitment to change. Psychodynamic ideas may be drawn on to understand deeper patterns that repeat across relationships.

Geoffrey works with issues such as abandonment and attachment difficulties, commitment and control concerns, body image and codependency, as well as life challenges like chronic illness, cancer, addiction, separation and fatherhood matters. He also addresses guilt, shame and forgiveness.

He encourages a collaborative pace so clients set the agenda and decide how quickly to move. The tone in sessions is warm and practical, aimed at helping people make manageable changes and feel steadier in daily life.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence how people relate today. It can help with trust, abandonment worries and repeating patterns in close relationships. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to make sense of difficult feelings.

Geoffrey will work together with each person to find the right mix of approaches. He discusses goals and preferences, then adapts methods so they fit the client's needs. This collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made.

The original biography does not list which online session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as arranging sessions around work breaks or reducing travel time. It also allows for different styles of contact depending on energy and concentration levels, for example shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video if that suits the client better.
