Dr. Cindy George

Dr. Cindy George is a counsellor with 25 years' experience who draws on client-centred and evidence-informed approaches. She brings a practical, caring style to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger and relationship difficulties. Her work focuses on real-life problems people face every day and on finding steps that make life easier to handle.

Her background includes long experience across clinical and community settings. She has a Ph.D. in Counselling, a Masters in Counselling with a mental health specialism, and a Bachelors in Psychology. She is also registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP.

Sessions aim to improve communication, increase self-awareness, and build coping strategies. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Client-Centred approaches alongside narrative and existential ideas to tailor support to each person. This mix is used to address mood concerns, grief, trauma, addictions and eating issues among other challenges.

Dr. George frames therapy around individual goals. She helps clients notice how thoughts affect feelings and behaviour, and practises skills to change unhelpful patterns. She also works on relationship and intimacy concerns, midlife questions, life transitions and career-related stress.

People who choose her can expect a direct but friendly style that focuses on practical change and personal insight. She encourages collaborative planning so that sessions address what matters most to the client.

How counselling approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement; it helps people feel heard and explore what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression and panic. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and better interpersonal communication which can help with strong anger and mood swings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, try techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients take an active role in choosing methods that fit their needs and day-to-day life.

Please confirm current session options before booking as formats were not specified in the biography. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when a shorter support slot is helpful. It also makes it simpler to continue work while managing life changes or when people are based in different locations from the counsellor.
