About Cindy
Dr. Cindy George is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 25 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, addictions, trauma, grief, eating issues, parenting strains, and other life changes. Sessions focus on practical ways to notice patterns and try different responses.
Dr George uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centred and other approaches. She helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, then test small changes to see what works. Conversations aim to be direct and practical, with clear steps to practice between sessions.
Her background includes work across private practice, community mental health, substance abuse centres, psychiatric settings, schools and corporations. That experience informs how she approaches problems like communication breakdowns, commitment issues, and blended-family challenges. She also supports people dealing with body image, infidelity, loneliness and career questions.
Dr George holds a PhD in Counselling, a masters in counselling with a mental health specialism, and a bachelor’s degree in psychology. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
In sessions she draws on DBT skills, narrative techniques and existential ideas when they fit the concern. The focus is on skills you can use day to day - for panic, mood shifts, anger or tricky interactions. Work with her will centre on clear aims, practical tools, and regular review of progress.
Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. Before booking, check the current session options and scheduling details through the site’s online process.
How CBT and related approaches work in online sessions
Dr George uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and to set simple experiments to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is practical and problem-focused, useful for anxiety, panic, low mood and body image concerns.She also draws on client-centred work, which prioritises the person’s perspective and what matters most to them. This approach supports clearer expression of goals and values. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is used for teaching specific skills - such as distress tolerance and emotion regulation - when those skills fit the presenting difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match those aims, and review what helps most. Clients and therapist decide together whether to emphasise CBT tasks, DBT skills or other techniques based on progress and preferences.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a working day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people work with a therapist who is based elsewhere, which can widen the choice of approaches and experience available.
