About George

George Prior is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. He works with people facing a broad range of issues, including anger, anxiety, depression, relationship strain and addiction.

He bases his work on a person-centred approach. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and move at their pace. The counsellor listens without judging and helps clients notice their own strengths and choices.

George uses narrative and solution-focused ideas alongside person-centred work. Narrative methods help people tell and reframe difficult stories about themselves. Solution-focused techniques look for practical steps that can reduce tension and create clearer next actions.

Clients who come for help with anger often want tools to manage outbursts, reduce built-up resentment, or understand patterns that make anger worse. Other common concerns he supports include coping with life changes, grief, low self-esteem and stress related to work or caregiving.

Sessions are organised around the person’s goals rather than a fixed protocol. George encourages small experiments between sessions, clearer communication patterns, and ways to rebuild calm after tense moments. He follows the BACP ethical framework and works in plain language so people can use what they learn in everyday life.

How his approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. The counsellor helps the person say what matters, notice choices, and build on their own resources. This approach suits people who want time to reflect and make decisions at their own speed.

Narrative Therapy helps separate a person from troubling stories they tell about themselves. Together they look at those stories, consider different meanings, and try new ways of talking that reduce shame and anger. This can be useful for issues like trauma, identity and long-standing patterns of blame.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes. It looks for exceptions to the problem and builds short-term strategies clients can try between sessions. This approach is aimed at people who want clear, actionable options to manage stress or intense moments.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt sessions accordingly. This is a collaborative process where plans are revised as progress is made.

If you want to use online sessions, confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit around work, caregiving and travel. Online meetings can make it simpler to attend regular sessions, try brief check-ins, or use audio-only meetings when that suits practical needs.
