Supporting you in those troubled times.
Find balance and peace with Calm Folk Counselling.
The important stuff is that I hold qualifications in both Person Centred and Cognitive Behaviour therapies, drawing on these and my expertise gained from my experience in the field of mental health to benefit people who choose to work with me. Throughout my journey I’ve worked with a diverse range of people, primarily those considered as adults, who have felt that for whatever reason they have been unable to cope with the stresses and pressures of the modern world. Sometimes folk find that they require some nourishment for their personal growth, and I am honoured to be able to provide this in a cooperative and kindly way.
Some folk need support exploring traumas resulting from past or present issues, and some feel the need for assistance in managing long term conditions that cause them emotional distress. My calm accepting manner enables people to build a healthy secure relationship where any concern can be fully explored.
Services
Therapy
As the world is a busy place and flexibility is essential for you, I offer one to one sessions remotely via phone or online using Zoom or Teams. This enables you to access therapy at your convenience. Times of sessions are agreed between us following an enquiry. Sessions are tailored to your needs using a variety of therapeutic techniques depending on the support you feel you need for your journey. If you are uncertain what you need don’t worry we work this out together. I work with people struggling with a broad range of issues from anxiety and depression to complex trauma. Please feel free to contact me if you need any adaptions made to enable you to access therapy. Cost of sessions is generally £50 per hour, usually payable after each session but individual circumstances are taken into account upon enquiry, concessions may apply. I offer an introductory twenty to thirty minute phone session free of charge to offer you the opportunity to see if you want to work with me.
Supervision
Understanding how busy life is when working and managing other commitments I offer clinical supervision to counselling students, therapists and other professionals, one to one remotely via phone or online using Zoom or Teams. Any time is considered for sessions and will be agreed upon enquiry. Cost of sessions is generally £60 per hour, usually payable after each session but concession rates apply for students at £30 per hour. Sessions are tailored to individual needs therefore may be longer than the standard hour and pro rata costs applied. I offer an introductory twenty minutes phone session free of charge to see if we’re compatible.
Testimonials
Satisfied supervisee
Geoff has provided me with supervision from my very first placement session as a student. He makes you feel relaxed and not judged which allows you the freedom to explore your mistakes and develop your counselling skills while gently guiding you. His knowledge and experience have been invaluable in helping me to understand clients’ needs. Throughout my learning he has been supportive and helped me to develop confidence by encouraging me and inspiring me to try different interventions whilst also allowing me the autonomy to develop my own unique style of counselling. I highly recommend Geoff and envisage working with him for many years to come.
Satisfied client
I’d toyed with the idea of therapy for quite a few years but never had the courage to go because I was scared of the vulnerability that came with it. As soon as I reached out to Geoff I knew he was a warm, approachable and understanding person. We had an initial phone call first to discuss why I thought therapy was for me and from then on we saw each other every week. Geoff will always make time for you if you need it and helped me realise things both about myself and my situation that helped me grow and move past things. If you need someone to help you through a tough time with understanding and compassion then Geoff is definitely the right choice for you!
