Georgina McBurney is a counsellor who combines talking and body-based work to help people through difficult times. She brings ten years of experience and a practical, down-to-earth manner to sessions. Georgina holds BACP accreditation which is noted to reflect her professional standing in the United Kingdom.

She takes a psycho-spiritual view that looks at emotional, mental, physical and spiritual aspects together. That means conversations may include feelings, memories and bodily sensations.

Background and approach

Sessions are described as warm, creative and collaborative, with an emphasis on helping people understand themselves rather than applying diagnostic labels. Georgina offers Inner Child work to explore how past experiences shape present relationships and patterns. That can be useful for people feeling stuck in anxiety, depression, trauma responses, codependency, or difficulties with trust and intimacy.

She also responds to life changes such as separation, fertility challenges, bereavement and career transitions. Her toolkit includes Solution-Focused Therapy, Somatic Therapy and Internal Family Systems approaches. Psycho-education is woven into shorter-term work to give people practical skills they can use between sessions.

Georgina adapts methods to suit an individual's needs and circumstances. She has a varied background outside counselling, including time in the armed forces, first responder roles, teaching and foster caring. Online and telephone sessions are offered to make therapy fit around daily life.

To begin, users follow the platform's Start Therapy flow and complete a short matching questionnaire.

How Georgina's approaches work online

Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on practical steps and goals. It helps people identify what they want to change and build small, achievable actions to get there. This is useful for stress, coping with life changes and quick behavioural shifts.

Somatic Therapy pays attention to bodily sensations and how the body stores stress and trauma. Work can include noticing breathing, movement and sensations to help release tension and improve emotional regulation. This approach often helps with anxiety, post-traumatic stress and physical responses to emotional events.

Internal Family Systems sees different thoughts and feelings as parts of the self that can be understood and guided. It helps people unpick conflicting inner voices, reduce harsh self-judgement and find calmer internal rules. This can support grief, shame, guilt and patterns rooted in earlier life experiences.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then shape sessions around that feedback. Clients and the therapist review progress and adjust methods so the work stays useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction from home or work, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and make regular contact easier for ongoing change.
