About George

George Prior is a person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He has four years of experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges, including anger and stress. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them and decide on the next steps at their own pace.

He works from a person-centred stance, putting empathy and acceptance at the centre of sessions. That means he listens without pressure and follows the person’s lead on what to focus on. People often bring anxiety, low mood, grief, relationship worries or life changes, and he helps them make sense of those experiences.

George also uses narrative therapy to help people reframe difficult stories and see different possibilities for themselves. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify small, practical steps that can make daily life feel more manageable. These approaches are chosen to fit the person’s needs rather than to force a set method.

Sessions aim to build self-awareness and reconnect people with their own resources. He supports work around addictions, intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns and issues linked to identity and sexuality, including LGBT and gender dysphoria topics. People can expect a steady, respectful approach that prioritises their own goals.

George adheres to the standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

How his approaches shape online therapy

George works primarily from a person-centred viewpoint, which focuses on listening, empathy and following what matters most to the person. This approach helps when someone needs time and space to reflect on strong feelings such as anger or loss.

Narrative therapy is used to help people reframe and retell difficult experiences. It supports people who feel stuck by separating the problem from the person and exploring alternative stories and meanings.

Solution-focused work is practical and goal-oriented, aiming to identify small changes that make a real difference day to day. This is useful for managing stress, practical coping and stepping through life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then shape sessions collaboratively rather than imposing a single method.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or removing the need to be on camera when that helps someone engage. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt their style to fit each person's situation and goals.
