Dr. Cindy George, BACP

Dr. Cindy George is a counsellor who blends client-centred listening with practical therapies to help people through difficult life phases. She brings 25 years of experience and a calm, non-judgemental manner to conversations about stress, relationships and midlife change.

She trained in counselling and holds a BACP credential. Over a long career she has worked in many settings, including private practice, community mental health, substance-abuse centres and hospitals. That breadth means she is used to describing options clearly and tailoring work to each person.

In sessions she focuses on what a person wants to change. She uses straightforward methods to look at thoughts, feelings and patterns. This includes talking through relationship dynamics, coping strategies for anxiety and ways to manage mood swings or addiction cravings.

Her approach combines short-term practical tools and deeper reflection. Techniques include cognitive-behavioural work to shift unhelpful thinking, narrative approaches to reframe life stories, and client-centred listening that helps people feel heard. Sessions aim to increase self-awareness, self-acceptance and clearer decision-making.

People come for help with parenting strain, career crossroads, body image and loss, as well as midlife questions about purpose and change. She can also support those facing trauma, grief or difficulties with intimacy. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions based on the therapist's schedule.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-centred therapy emphasises listening and building a trusting relationship, where the counsellor follows the person’s lead and reflects what matters most to them. This approach helps when someone needs space to be heard and make sense of a life change. Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, with clear exercises and practical strategies for anxiety, mood problems and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will choose methods that fit the person's needs. That collaborative process means therapy can shift over time as goals change.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed.

Registered or accredited professionals commonly offer online options that help people keep therapy consistent while managing busy schedules.
