About Cynthia
Cynthia Gentle is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with people wanting clearer self-understanding and stronger self-worth. Cynthia supports clients facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression and anger.
She pays attention to how culture and identity shape wellbeing. That can mean talking through experiences of discrimination, HIV and AIDS related concerns, or the fallout from narcissistic abuse. She also helps with relationship strains, intimacy issues and challenges around parenting and pregnancy.
Cynthia draws on a small set of practical approaches. She uses acceptance and commitment techniques to help people notice what matters and take steady action. Cognitive behavioural methods are used to address thinking patterns that keep problems going.
Attachment-based ideas are part of how she looks at relationship and abandonment concerns. Client-centred work guides the pace of sessions so people feel heard while they explore hard topics like domestic violence, infidelity, or separation.
Sessions can cover eating and sleeping difficulties, seasonal affective disorder, ADHD and bipolar concerns alongside work and career stress. Cynthia also offers support for shame, guilt, isolation and multicultural stresses that affect day-to-day life.
She speaks English and Shona and accepts clients from outside the UK. Before booking, clients are encouraged to check current session options and the practical details that matter to them.
Approaches used in online sessions
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and offers practical exercises to change them. It can be useful for managing anger, anxiety and mood shifts.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on recognising what matters to a person and taking committed steps in that direction despite difficult thoughts or feelings. This approach can support people who feel stuck in recurring anger or avoidance cycles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person's needs. Decisions about techniques are made together and reviewed as therapy progresses.
Confirm the session formats available before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break or removing travel time for appointments. If quieter surroundings, less bandwidth or not using video are important, mention that when scheduling so practical arrangements can be discussed.
