Dr. Cindy George offers a practical, person-focused approach to counselling. She draws on 25 years of experience and places the client at the centre of each session.

Her manner is straightforward and non-judgemental, aiming to help people make clear changes in daily life. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen and build understanding, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are available to help manage intense emotions and strong reactions.

Background and approach

Narrative and existential ideas are woven in to help people find meaning and personal direction. Cindy has worked across many settings during her career, including independent practice, community mental health and substance use services. That background informs a flexible approach that fits different life situations and practical challenges.

Her BACP credential is noted as part of her professional standing. Typical concerns she supports include stress, anxiety, depression and mood disorders, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, body image and eating worries, and issues around intimacy and relationships. She also addresses work and career stress, life changes, and questions about purpose and midlife shifts.

Sessions focus on developing skills, clearer thinking, and practical steps people can try between meetings. The process is collaborative: goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made. This approach aims to help people feel more able to cope and move forward.

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening and helping the person lead the conversation; it supports people who need space to make sense of their feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, panic and mood concerns. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and improving behavioural responses when reactions feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before, then together they will try the methods that fit best. This collaborative process means approaches can be blended or adjusted over time as needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversational rhythm. Phone sessions can be quicker to join and work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins, note-taking and ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around everyday life.

What kinds of problems can be addressed?

Support covers stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, grief, eating and body image concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting-related strain, career matters and mood disorders including bipolar and panic attacks.

What is the therapist's general approach in sessions?
