About Cindy

Dr. Cindy George helps with stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, mood difficulties and a wide range of life challenges. She works using client-centred principles alongside cognitive and behavioural ideas to help people notice patterns of thinking and make practical changes. She is a BACP counsellor and has 25 years of experience in counselling and psychology.

She trained to doctoral level in counselling and completed specialisms in marital, couples and family therapy, plus a masters in mental health counselling. That background underpins work on relationship problems, communication, intimacy concerns, divorce and blended family issues. She also supports people with addictions, eating issues, bereavement and trauma-related difficulties.

In sessions she uses approaches from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Narrative and Existential therapies and a client-centred way of working. That means she will help people identify thought and behaviour patterns, practise new skills and tell the story of what has happened in ways that can change how they respond. Sessions can include problem-solving, skills practice and exploring meaning and values.

She pays attention to practical matters such as parenting strain, work stress, career decisions and midlife transitions. Specific areas listed include body image, commitment and control issues, infidelity, domestic violence, isolation, panic attacks and bipolar mood concerns. People who identify as LGBT are included in her stated focus.

Dr George has worked across private practice, community mental health, substance services, psychiatric settings and schools. This range of settings informs a straightforward, skills-based and reflective style aimed at helping people manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.

How therapeutic approaches fit with online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s perspective, listening and responsive reflection to help people clarify what matters to them; it supports issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns and life purpose. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and involves practical exercises to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and panic. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, useful for mood instability and anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and will adapt methods together with the client over time. That makes the way of working a collaborative process rather than a fixed programme.

Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare or travel, and can allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video if that suits a person better. Registered or accredited professionals often use online contacts to keep therapy practical and accessible while working through thinking patterns, coping skills and relationship issues.
