Geoff works with clients experiencing a range of difficulties including depression, anxiety (general, social and health-related), panic, OCD, trauma & PTSD, and grief and loss. He is committed to providing compassionate, proven therapy that helps people understand and overcome their challenges in a safe and supportive environment.

His integrative approach, grounded in CBT and counselling, enables him to support clients in identifying unhelpful patterns, building resilience, and making meaningful changes in their day-to-day lives.

Experienced CBT Therapist in Newcastle

Geoff has been working with clients since 2010, gaining extensive experience across NHS primary care, domestic abuse services, schools, and IAPT services. He has supported both adults and children, and also provides supervision for trainee and qualified counsellors.

In his time with IAPT services, Geoff has worked as a counsellor and as a CBT therapist helping people overcome anxiety, depression, OCD, panic, trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), grief, and risk-related concerns such as self-harm.

Geoff holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) from Teesside University, a Postgraduate Certificate in Counselling Supervision from Tyne Met College, and a Degree in Counselling from Tyne Met College/Sunderland University to widen his scope of therapy provision.

Compassionate Support for a Range of Difficulties

Geoff’s professional journey as a CBT Therapist was inspired by a drive to create safe, supportive spaces that help others overcome difficulties and navigate life challenges.

Consequently, Geoff brings deep empathy and understanding to his work, helping clients to feel heard and validated so that they can talk about their difficulties without judgment and with full support.

This, coupled with his training in Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, enables Geoff to help clients work through difficulties, challenge negative thought patterns, and change behaviours that might be causing problems for them.

Geoff also draws on his background in rugby coaching, where supporting people’s growth and development has always been central to his role.

Geoff’s approach to therapy is focused on helping you to understand your problem better so that you can then develop tools and strategies to overcome your difficultes and live the best life you can without distress.

Personal Interests Outside Counselling

Outside of his work, Geoff enjoys music of many genres, from 1960s classics through to early 2000s, alongside folk and acid folk.

When he’s not reading or listening to music, Geoff enjoys cooking, attempting DIY projects, and building his model railway.

He is also an avid reader, with a love of history, graphic novels, and exploring spirituality through books relating to psychology and philosophy.
