Dr. Cindy George, BACP

Dr. Cindy George offers a client-centred approach that puts the person at the heart of therapy. She uses familiar, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, mood concerns and difficult life changes. Her manner is warm and non-judgemental, and she focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.

With 25 years of experience, she draws on a wide range of approaches including cognitive behavioural techniques and dialectical behaviour ideas. These methods help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, learn coping skills for intense emotions, and build routines that support wellbeing. Narrative and existential perspectives are also part of her toolbox to help people find meaning and rewrite unhelpful stories about themselves.

Her work covers common and complex concerns such as anxiety, depression, panic, addictions and mood instability. She also helps with intimacy issues, relationship communication, body image, parenting stresses, grief, and challenges around work and life purpose. Practical problem solving and clearer communication skills are regular focuses in sessions.

Dr George is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is shown as BACP. She offers sessions for English-speaking people and accepts international clients. Formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

To begin, people complete a short matching form and then schedule sessions that suit them. She aims for straightforward, respectful conversations that help people move from feeling stuck to taking small, workable steps forward.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Dr Cindy George commonly uses client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural therapy in her online work. Client-centred therapy emphasises a respectful, listening-based relationship where the counsellor follows the person’s lead and helps them make sense of their feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood.

She also draws on dialectical behaviour therapy ideas when intense emotions and impulsive reactions are a problem. DBT-style skills teach ways to manage strong feelings, tolerate distress and improve communication. Together these approaches give practical tools and space to reflect on meaning and life choices, and the therapist will talk with each person to choose the best mix for their goals.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video gives face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat works for quick check-ins and text messaging suits people who prefer writing between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and help people fit work on emotional skills into busy lives.
