Dr. Cindy George

Dr. Cindy George works from a person-centred, practical stance. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood changes and eating or body-image difficulties. Her manner is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at making therapy easy to understand and use.

She has twenty five years of experience in counselling and mental health work across clinical and community settings. That background includes private practice, substance abuse centres, psychiatric hospital work and corporate and school environments. Those roles shaped a flexible approach that adapts to different lives and problems.

In sessions she draws on methods such as client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), existential and narrative approaches. She tailors conversations and exercises to each person’s situation rather than applying one fixed method. Practical skills, clearer thinking and small behaviour changes are common focuses.

Cindy aims to help people improve relationships, manage mood and reduce unhelpful patterns. She supports people dealing with grief, trauma, addictions, LGBT issues, parenting worries, anger and life transitions. Eating and food-related issues and body image are included among her concerns.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions explore what matters most to the person and set realistic steps forward. People who want direct help with coping skills, communication and rebuilding daily routines may find this approach useful.

How core approaches translate to online counselling

Client-centred therapy places the person and their goals at the heart of sessions, focusing on listening, empathy and the client’s own resources to find solutions. This helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem and life changes by encouraging clearer self-understanding and choices.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is more directive and focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It often uses short exercises and practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change eating-related behaviours. Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) adds skills for regulating emotion and coping with intense states, useful for mood swings, anger and impulsive patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk through goals, preferences and how each method might help. Together they will try methods that suit the person and adjust them as progress is made.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people take part without travel. It also makes it possible for international clients to work with a UK-based counsellor when arrangements allow.
