About Cindy
Dr. Cindy George offers a person-centred, practical approach to counselling. She combines empathy with clear methods to help people manage stress, anxiety and panic-related difficulties. Her manner is direct but compassionate, aimed at making sessions feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
She trained in psychology and counselling and holds a Ph.D. in Counselling. Her BACP credential is noted as part of her background. Over 25 years she has worked in many settings, including private practice, community mental health, substance-abuse centres and psychiatric services, which informs how she tailors support.
In sessions she focuses on what a person wants to change. She uses client-centred conversations to build understanding. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviours. Dialectical skills are drawn on when mood and emotion regulation need practical strategies.
She also draws on narrative and existential ideas to help people reframe life events and find meaning after loss or major change. That blend means therapy can include talking, targeted exercises and agreed practical tasks between sessions. Many people use this mix to address relationship strain, low mood, addictive patterns, body image and panic symptoms.
Dr George encourages a stepwise approach - small, steady steps that fit into everyday life. To begin, people use the site questionnaire to match with her and then arrange sessions according to her schedule. This straightforward process is designed to get the work started without unnecessary barriers.
How these approaches translate to online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience, helping them feel heard and guiding the conversation around their priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought patterns and trying small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) adds practical emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills for when feelings feel overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and then try methods that match your needs. If something does not fit, adjustments are made so the work stays relevant and doable.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time so people can access support from different locations. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt worksheets, homework and skill practice to suit remote sessions, helping therapy link directly to everyday life.
