About me
My name is Georgia, and I am a trained psychotherapist, Level 7 Diploma.
There are times when we can feel stuck or overwhelmed by life challenges. And many times, within these challenges, you may be struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, loss, life changes, or the impact of past experiences and trauma.
Therapy offers an opportunity to slow down and explore what may be contributing to these difficulties, helping you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences; a sense of clarity and choice for moving forward with a more helpful approach.
My aim is to create a relationship where you feel able to speak openly about whatever is troubling you, without fear of judgement or pressure to be anything other than yourself. Talking with someone who is not part of your daily life can create the space to explore your experiences, understand yourself more deeply, and make sense of difficulties that may feel confusing, overwhelming, or recurring.
Training, qualifications & experience
My path into psychotherapy began through my own interest in understanding people, relationships, and emotional wellbeing.
Before becoming a psychotherapist, I spent over ten years working as a social worker supporting children and families through challenging circumstances. Having lived between cultures myself, I also understand some of the complexities that can arise around identity, belonging, and adapting to change.
Clients often tell me they appreciate my warmth, empathy, and ability to create a space where they feel comfortable exploring difficult experiences.
My work is relational and grounded in Integrative Transactional Analysis. Together, we explore your thoughts, feelings, emotional and behavioural patterns, understanding how they developed over time and gently working towards your meaningful goal.
I am working with adults 18+ who are facing different life challenges, including but not restricted to the following:
- Anxiety and stress
- Low self-esteem and self-confidence
- Depression and low mood
- Relationship difficulties
- Trauma and difficult past experiences
- Grief and loss
- Panic attacks and social anxiety
- Work-related stress and burnout
- Family and interpersonal difficulties
- People-pleasing and difficulty setting boundaries
- Perfectionism
- Life transitions and change

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.

Further information
In our first session, we’ll talk about what has brought you to therapy and what you might want to achieve or explore. You can share as much or as little as feels comfortable.
We’ll also complete an intake form together, which helps me understand a bit more about you and any relevant background information. This is also the time where we’ll discuss the therapy contract the practical and ethical agreement that covers things like confidentiality, session times, fees, and how we’ll work together.
The first session is as much for you as it is for me: it’s a chance for you to get a sense of how I work and whether this feels like the right space for you.
