I fully understand how challenging life can be at times, and sometimes things can feel overwhelming. Our worries can create feelings of anxiety and depression, which can in turn make us feel isolated, alone and misunderstood. Having a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space to talk through whatever is on your mind can be incredibly powerful in enabling you to unburden and begin to heal. By being truly listened to, perhaps for the first time, I believe you can start to make sense of your experiences and find solutions to whatever is troubling you.

Life can often rush past us and we can forget about ourselves, who we are, and what it is we want and need, whilst everyone else in our lives comes before we do. You might be realising that you want more from your life and for that to happen, changes need to be made. Maybe you have realised it is something that is not possible for you to do alone, and that working out what boundaries you can put in place is something that you can benefit from. Trying to get through these challenges alone can make us feel overwhelmed and unsure about who we are, and if change is even possible.

I work with adults who, underneath their kindness and care, struggle with people-pleasing and never feeling good enough. I'm an Integrative Psychotherapist with over 10 years experience, including 5 in a specialist trauma service.
I've specialised in trauma and people-pleasing, drawing on hundreds of conversations with people who called themselves a 'people-pleaser' long before they ever thought to call it trauma. For many, it began somewhere specific, in childhood, in relationships that weren't quite safe enough to just be yourself. For others it was an accumulation of difficult experiences. Both matter. Both are welcome here.

Taking that first step to trust in a relationship with a counsellor can be really difficult, as coming to counselling can lead us to feeling vulnerable, as we expose our true selves’ warts and all, for our counsellor to see. It can be empowering to get our stories off our chest and to hear them back, being told to us as the counsellor reflects it back. If you are struggling and feel that things are too much to deal with on your own, I can offer you a safe space to process your thoughts and feelings, to enable you to find healthier ways of managing what life brings your way.

Loneliness isn't always about being alone.
Sometimes it's having people in your life but not feeling connected to them. Sometimes it's feeling that nobody really understands what your experience is like. Sometimes it's not having many people to turn to at all.
Over time, loneliness can become more than a feeling. It can become a way of moving through the world. You stop expecting to be understood. You carry things by yourself. You begin to wonder whether connection is something other people seem to find more easily.

Georgina offers an exploratory space for adults, young people and couples who feel hopeless, helpless or at a loss. She provides warm and gentle therapy to anyone experiencing distress, from anxiety and depression, to trauma and abuse. She aims to hold you securely and buttress you strongly so that you can examine things that are frightening or that seem impossible to deal with. Georgina has particular clinical experience with C-PTSD and bereavement. Her first career was as a competitive swimmer and so particularly enjoys working with other athletes who are examining their relationship with their sport.

Feeling anxious and overwhelmed? It's hard to be alone with those feelings, and it's also a hard and brave step to talk about it. I provide empathetic, non-judgemental and down to earth online therapy.

You might be experiencing burnout, depression and anxiety, challenges at work. Existing as a neurodivergent adult, feeling that you're always masking who you really are (or trying to find who you really are).

My clients are individuals who are struggling to make sense of how they are feeling and situations they are going through.
They may be experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, low confidence, low self esteem, Imposter Syndrome, relationship issues, bereavement, OCD etc.
They come to therapy because they need support. They may have been managing alone for a long time and have finally reached a point where they know something needs to change.
They want to feel better, think more clearly and reconnect with who they really are, gain back control and feel more confident and in control.
That is exactly how I help.

The decision to attend counselling can be difficult and sometimes overwhelming. It is the quality of the 'therapeutic relationship' that is key to progress, so that you feel supported and comfortable to talk about what matters to you. I believe passionately in the counselling process, and for me the promotion of positive mental health and well-being is at the core of our work together.

I work with adolescents and adults — individually, as couples, and in groups — who want a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships. Many come when something feels stuck: anxiety, relational difficulties, or recurring patterns shaped by trauma, neglect, violence, or experiences of difference. My work is typically longer-term, making space to explore these patterns in depth. Clients are often reflective, and may be engaging questions of identity — race, sexuality, class, ability, or nationality — or navigating relational dynamics in their families or intimate relationships.

I work with young people (11+) and adults who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or caught in repeating patterns. You might appear to be coping on the outside while feeling anxious, self-critical, or disconnected within. Clients often come wanting to better understand themselves, process difficult experiences, or find a different way forward. Together, we create a space to explore what’s going on at your pace, helping you build self-awareness, make sense of your experiences, and feel less alone.

I value working deeply and curiously to untangle challenges in people's experiences. So often we are stuck in relationships or in situations that don't serve us. However, with support, we can find out about where these issues originate and how to move forward with compassion. I work with attachment theory to unpick relational patterns and look at reactions and choices we make in life. I work with clients' Parts to begin to understand their inner world and build new ways of communicating, growing self-esteem and confidence. I love working with clients from a base of an authentic and trusting relationship on a medium/long-term basis.
