About Cindy

Dr. Cindy George is a BACP counsellor with 25 years of experience practising in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and anger. Sessions address everyday struggles like work pressure, resentment in close relationships, and coping with life changes.

She uses straightforward talking therapy methods to help people notice how their thoughts and actions link together. That can mean identifying patterns that lead to outbursts, practising different ways of responding, and building routines to lessen regular frustration. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy ideas for practical tools, and Client-Centred and Narrative approaches to look at personal meaning.

Dr. George trained to a doctoral level and has worked in many settings including private practice, community mental health, substance misuse services, psychiatric hospitals, schools and workplaces. That variety has given her experience with mood disorders, addictions, grief, trauma, and relationship breakdowns. She also supports people facing parenting and blended family stresses.

In sessions she focuses on clear goals and skills people can use between meetings. Conversations often include problem-solving, communication practice, and exercises to reduce impulsive reactions. She also helps people reflect on values and life choices when anger connects with larger purpose or midlife questions.

Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels understood and can explore their own solutions; online sessions use that same conversational style to clarify goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviours; online work often includes practical exercises and short tasks to practise between sessions. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers skills for regulating emotions and handling intense moments, which can be useful when anger feels overwhelming or reactive.

Deciding which approach to try is part of the first few sessions. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client's needs, goals and preferences. That might mean combining skills training with reflective talks, or shifting the emphasis as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, cut travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. For some people, not being in an office helps them practise new skills in everyday settings. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical arrangements when you schedule a first appointment.
