About me
Hello, I'm Georgia. I am a counsellor and psychotherapist specialising in providing empathetic, warm spaces for clients to explore. Whatever it is that's troubling you, whether it's past trauma, current challenges or questions around your identity and place in the world, I aim to provide a space where it's safe enough to be authentically yourself while we explore things together.
I consider my practice to be LGBTQ+ centred, and I strongly believe that sexuality, gender identity, race, social class, disability or other social identities are interwoven (often in a very complex way) with our mental wellbeing. Whoever you are, and whatever it is that's troubling you, I will meet you with curiosity and kindness.
I offer an initial 20 minute conversation free of charge to see if we might be the right fit for each other. Please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am an integrative psychotherapist. I work with different styles of counselling, to create an approach that is personalised for you and responsive to your needs. I particularly draw from psychodynamic, attachment based, feminist and internal family systems models. This means that we are likely to spend lots of time in sessions talking about your different 'parts' such as internal critic and inner child, as well as the influence of your past on your present, as well as the influence of systems of oppression on your psychological wellbeing.
I have particular experience working with women and LGBTQ+ individuals, especially those with a personality disorder or who might have been told they have 'complex mental health'. I also have plentiful experience working with anxiety and depression, trauma, those who hear voices and those who are experiencing a mental health crisis. Alongside my experience working as a psychotherapist, I have also worked in mental health more broadly within higher education, charities and NHS services.
I am passionate about providing accessible, flexible counselling that works for your individual needs-particularly if you are neurodivergent or have a chronic illness. I have a chronic illness myself and I understand the toil that navigating health systems and diagnoses can take on your day to day life. I strongly believe that counselling should be a space that is responsive to your needs, and I will do my best to accommodate you
I will work collaboratively with you, but believe that you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to be alongside you to provide compassionate support and a gentle challenge where appropriate to help you unpack things in a warm and non-judgemental space.
I have completed an MSc in Therapeutic Counselling.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
