George Prior, BACP

George Prior uses a person-centred approach to therapy and counselling. He focuses on listening with empathy and helping people find their own path through hard times. Sessions aim to be warm and non-judgemental so someone can talk openly about what matters most.

He has four years of experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns. These include anxiety, depression, bipolar difficulties, addictions and trauma and abuse. He also works with issues around self-esteem, grief, relationship and intimacy-related problems, and stresses from life changes and work.

George also offers support for specific topics such as parenting strain, caregiver stress, compulsive behaviours, gender dysphoria, and issues connected to BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture. He helps people talk through family conflicts, divorce and separation, and feelings of emptiness or abandonment.

Sessions are shaped by what the client brings rather than a fixed agenda. He uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside Narrative and Solution-Focused ideas to help clients reflect, reframe unhelpful stories, and set small, practical goals. The aim is clearer self-understanding and manageable steps forward.

He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. George practises in the United Kingdom and offers work in English. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and online scheduling to fit the client's needs.

Person-centred and goal-focused approaches for online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and acceptance. The counsellor follows your pace and prioritises what matters most to you, which can help with anxiety, low mood and feelings of stuckness.

Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from a problem story and see events in a new light. It can be useful for working through trauma, identity questions and relationship patterns by re-authoring how you understand difficult experiences.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps that move you toward your goals. It works well when you want clear actions and short-term progress on issues like stress, coping with change or setting boundaries.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what actually helps you.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let you use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, journalling between sessions or people who prefer writing over speaking. These formats make it easier to fit counselling around work, caring responsibilities and daily life, while still focusing on practical progress.
