Geoff started his mental health career as a psychiatric nurse, and then subsequently became a mental health social worker. In the late 80’s his social work career took a turn when he found himself working in the HIV/AIDS pandemic in West London. It was during that time that he was fortunate enough to start doing some training with the Elizabeth Kubler Ross foundation in the USA. and it was this seminal experience that started his journey to become a psychotherapist.

He trained initially at the Metanoia institute and qualified as a Clinical Transactional analyst in 1996, and as a Teaching and Supervising transactional Analyst in 2003. He also trained and qualified as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist with the Forum for Independent Psychotherapists and did a one year supervision diploma course at the SAP (Jungian).

He had a private practice in South London for twenty years and in 2005 he became a Consultant Psychotherapist at a high security prison in the therapeutic wing.

Following his retirement from the prison in 2013, he developed a supervision practice and has been a tutor at the Metanoia Institute, TA East and The Link centre where he has recently become a director.

He started ministry training with the One Spirit Foundation and is due to be ordained in July 2021. He is passionate about bringing a spiritual dimension to psychotherapy education believing that the interface between the two is both exciting and essential.
