About Cindy

Dr. Cindy George is a registered counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 25 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, addictions, grief, eating and body-image problems, and issues linked to identity and intimacy. She also supports those dealing with career questions, major life changes and mood disorders.

Her background includes long clinical experience in community mental health, substance abuse centres, psychiatric settings, schools, corporate environments and private practice. That variety has shaped a practical way of working. Sessions focus on clear goals and on small, manageable steps a person can try between meetings.

Dr. George uses several evidence-based approaches. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps with unhelpful thoughts and anxiety. Client-centred work focuses on what matters to the person in the room. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

She also draws on narrative and existential ideas to help people reframe life stories and find practical meaning in decisions. Therapy tends to be conversational and problem-focused, with an eye on improving communication, tackling commitment or control issues, and easing relationship strain.

Sessions are offered in English and international clients can be seen. Cost varies by location and sessions run on a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s concerns and priorities, offering space to talk through what matters and to set practical goals. This approach helps with relationship worries, loneliness and finding direction in early adulthood.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is useful for anxiety, panic, low mood and confidence issues, and usually includes exercises to try between sessions. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and reducing reactivity in difficult moments.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and will suggest approaches that fit those aims. Decisions about which methods to use are made together and can change as the work progresses.

The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around studies, shifts or busy days, and some approaches translate well to short practical check-ins or skills coaching between longer meetings. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often use this flexibility to keep therapy connected to everyday life.
