About Geoff Britton

My route to the world of counselling and support has been a long and circuitous one via the commercial world which included a long career in business banking where I found that the real issues and needs of the individual were generally subordinated to organisational agendas.  

Realising that my career was not in harmony with my core vaIues I sought a new direction which remains challenging but more fulfilling of my life’s purpose.

My background experience enables me to bridge the wide gap between the needs of the individualand the world of commercial reality, thereby helping individuals to maintain a sense of perspective and balance.

I have had a lifetime’s meaningful relationship with the great outdoors and wild places and this deep connection with nature is interwoven with my approach to life and client work.

Activities

• I work in private practice across the spectrum of counselling activities, with specialisations in Wilderness & Nature based therapy, trauma, alcohol & substance misuse.
• I am a Life, Business & Executive Coach where my client base has ranged from therapists to solicitors. I work in private practice and with some involvement in the voluntary sector, via the business mentoring services supported by Business Link.
