Relational, Creative and Present Focused
My passion is to safely and respectfully support a lively awareness building process for individuals, and in doing so, facilitate conditions where one can experience meaningful growth and change.
I practice a holistic approach that values an authentic, present-centred and experiential stance that is grounded in humanistic and existential psychology.

"I was most fortunate to be put into contact with Geoff at a time in my life when I felt totally stressed, and distressed, about every aspect of my life. The tipping point came while working in a hostile environment and knowing that if I didn’t ‘do’ something quickly, I was going to explode like a volcano and rain bitter ash down upon everything and everyone around me! Geoff was calm, and kind, and listened to me in a way that no-one has for a very long time. Just being ‘heard’ made a huge difference to how I felt internally, and he allowed me the time to express myself candidly and without judgement, and to see a way forward that was not only possible, but entirely do-able. For this I will be forever grateful, and I urge anyone who is feeling lost (or just stuck), to reach out to Geoff and ask for help. You will own your own life once more"
