Georgina | Online Counsellor

Hi, I’m Georgina, I offer sessions online via Zoom and support clients from many locations across the UK.

I am a Counsellor who helps women to understand what is holding them back from being happier and more confident in their life and relationships.  

I am passionate about helping women to build their confidence and to strengthen their relationships. I've been described as caring, empathic, friendly, and relatable.  

I have experience supporting people through a wide range of life’s difficulties, including relationship issues, domestic abuse, bereavement, miscarriage, illness and postnatal depression. 

I’ve had counselling myself and I know how powerful it can be.  

I'm an Integrative counsellor, which mean that my training has covered a range of different theories about what makes us tick, and how we can overcome challenges in our lives. 

My approach: 

I believe that we can all benefit from having a safe and comfortable space to take a break and explore our feelings, without judgement.  We work together to build a relationship where you can feel comfortable.  

I am not here to advise you or to tell you what to do; although I may occasionally offer tools that might be useful in everyday life. This doesn't mean that I'll sit there silently nodding, leaving you feeling uncomfortable.  

It means that I will listen to you and I will work with you to give you the opportunity to get to know yourself and find solutions that work for you.  

Types of issues

There are all sorts of reasons why people contact me to think about starting counselling.  

Perhaps you're struggling with:

• Anxiety, worry or fear.  This might be around specific situations, or it could be a general sense that follows you all day long
• Depression, numbness or disconnection from your feelings
• Coping with a loss or relationship breakdown
• Poor self-esteem
• Navigating changes and transitions in life, including menopause, career change or retirement
• Reproductive loss, miscarriage or fertility challenges
• Pregnancy, birth trauma, postnatal depression, or parenting
• Relationship patterns, challenges with trust or 'people-pleasing'
• Domestic abuse, whether it's physical, emotional or financial
• Feeling overwhelmed or stressed and unable to focus
• Past memories or traumatic events that you have kept bottled up.  Maybe they lie dormant inside.  Or perhaps they make themselves known in outbursts of anger, sadness or frustration
• Having a voice in your relationships with family, friends or colleagues

Maybe you can’t quite put your finger on it, but you feel stuck. 

You don’t like how you’re feeling or how you’re behaving, or life just isn’t how you want it to be.  

The next step

You're ready to take the next step - but how might it actually help you if we start working together?  

For different people this might involve different things.  Here are some examples of what we might achieve together.  

• Developing coping strategies to cope with feelings in everyday life, perhaps including anger or anxiety​
• Understanding your boundaries and your relationship with trust.  How you deserve to be treated in your relationships.  This might be at home, with your family or friends, or it might be in the workplace
• Voicing feelings, stories or opinions that you find it difficult to share
• Developing your self-esteem by reviewing your expectations for yourself and for others​
• Challenging fears and negative thought patterns
• Connecting with your emotions.  Exploring, naming and understanding how you feel.  ​Learning more about your past and present experiences to help you to understand how you feel​
• Noticing how your mind and body connect
