Geoffrey Norton , BACP, NCPS

Geoffrey Norton is a UK-qualified integrative humanistic counsellor with a PGdip and an MA, and he holds the professional credentials BACP and NCPS. With 3 years of clinical experience, he has focused primarily on helping people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression and self-esteem concerns, while also supporting those facing relationship difficulties, trauma and grief.

He works from a person-centred foundation, prioritising a non-judgemental exploration of thoughts and feelings and drawing on a range of counselling theories to shape each intervention. His approach is relational - he aims to build a strong therapeutic alliance that becomes the platform for meaningful change and personal development. Geoffrey describes therapy as a creative, affirmative step that can reduce unnecessary psychological suffering while opening pathways to greater self-understanding.

Geoffrey’s clinical practice is informed by broad life experience gained living in the UK, Spain, the USA and Colombia, and by a varied vocational background before training in psychotherapy. That combination of training and life experience informs his practical, empathetic style when working with issues such as intimacy-related difficulties, parenting challenges, anger, attachment concerns and coping with life changes.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions with Geoffrey Norton

Client-centred therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of the work, offering empathic listening and space to explore feelings and thoughts without judgement - it is often helpful for issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship struggles. Existential therapy focuses on meaning, choice and personal responsibility, helping people who are wrestling with life purpose, emptiness or major life changes to clarify values and make intentional decisions. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on identifying practical steps and small changes that move a person toward their goals, which can be especially useful for managing stress, overcoming immediate hurdles and building coping strategies.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process. Geoffrey Norton works collaboratively with each person to understand their needs, goals and preferences, and together they shape an approach that feels most helpful and relevant to the client’s situation.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing sessions through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to continue work when travel or location are factors, and to choose the format that feels most comfortable for engaging in reflective, focused therapeutic work with a licensed professional.
