About

I’m Geoff, a BACP registered counsellor¹ and trainee psychotherapist.

To be registered with the BACP, I commit to abide by their standards in:

• ongoing training;
• a minimum of hours with clients in registered placements;
• a ratio of supervision to client hours;
• and to abide to the ethical framework.

I have been in placement since January 2020 in community counselling services, charities and the NHS in IAPT (short-term) and Community Mental Health Team (long-term) settings.

I am currently approaching completion of an MA in Existential Psychotherapy at NSPC and am a member of the Society of Existential Analysis. I chose to train as an existential therapist because even before I thought about becoming a therapist I was introduced to key concepts in my own therapy and realised that I already understood my life in ways expounded upon by existential / phenomenological philosophy.

I have also trained in Narrative Exposure Therapy, a UK healthcare guideline recommended therapy for stress disorders.
