Dr. Cindy George, BACP

Dr. Cindy George offers a person-focused approach that puts the client's experience at the centre of each session. She uses methods that help people make practical changes in their thinking and behaviour. Her style is warm and non-judgemental and aims to build a steady working relationship. Dr. George holds BACP registration and has worked in the field for 25 years.

She blends talking therapies that help examine personal meaning with approaches that teach concrete coping skills. That mix lets her support people dealing with mood difficulties, anxiety, addiction and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also helps with grief, eating concerns, body image and life-stage transitions. Sessions address how thoughts, stories and patterns shape daily choices and feelings.

Her background includes practice in community mental health, substance support services, psychiatric settings, schools and corporate environments. This range has informed an adaptable way of working that fits different life demands. The emphasis is on treating the whole person rather than only naming a diagnosis.

In sessions she encourages practical steps alongside self-reflection. That can mean learning strategies from cognitive behavioural methods or practising emotion regulation skills drawn from dialectical behaviour approaches. Narrative and existential ideas are used when looking at life purpose and personal stories.

People come for help with stress, panic and mood disorders, relationship and communication problems, parenting strain, and issues linked to identity and sexuality. The work may also cover family-related concerns such as blended household dynamics, separation, and forgiveness. If a specific session format is required, readers should confirm options before booking.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on understanding the person's perspective and offering empathic support to help them find their own solutions. It is often used where someone needs a calm space to talk through feelings and decide what matters most.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches practical strategies for managing anxiety, panic, low mood and unhelpful behaviour patterns through small, structured exercises.

Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) offers tools for managing overwhelming emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help with emotion regulation, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving communication in difficult situations.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to each person's goals, needs and preferences rather than imposing a single style. Together they review what is helping and adjust the plan over time.

If you are interested in online work, check which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time, allow a quieter check-in or enable shorter follow-up conversations when useful. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt tools and exercises so therapy remains practical and goal-focused even when delivered remotely.
