About Cindy
Dr. Cindy George is a counsellor with 25 years of experience. She practises from a caring, non-judgemental stance and aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people seeking help.
She uses a narrative approach alongside client-centred and cognitive behavioural ideas to help people make sense of problems. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person and on changing the stories that get in the way of well being.
Background and approach
Her background spans independent practice, community mental health, substance misuse centres, psychiatric settings, schools and workplaces. That variety means she is used to supporting people with different problems and life situations. Common areas she helps with include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, addictions and eating issues.
She also supports people dealing with life transitions, career uncertainty, body image and isolation or loneliness. Dr George holds a doctorate in counselling and a Masters in counselling, and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She combines that training with practical tools so people can try small changes between sessions.
Therapy is collaborative and paced to each person. She listens for values and goals, offers straightforward techniques from therapeutic approaches such as CBT, DBT and existential ideas, and helps people build realistic plans for coping and change.

Online session options
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Dr George works with Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from unhelpful stories and rewrite how they make sense of problems. This approach can be useful for relationship concerns, identity questions and long-standing patterns that feel stuck.She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which means listening closely and building a collaborative relationship so the person feels heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to spot thinking and behaviour patterns and to practise small experiments that reduce anxiety and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try approaches that fit the person's life and needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are normal as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and messaging can be useful for reflective notes or regular support between sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments.
