About me

Georgina has been in private practice since 2008 and is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council and the Jersey Care Commission.  She holds a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy, a Degree in Psychology, and an Advanced Diploma in Counselling.  She is also a member of leading professional bodies, including the British Psychological Society and the UK Council for Psychotherapy.

​Her professional background spans a variety of therapeutic settings.  Georgina has worked with charities supporting people through mental illness, sexual abuse, sexual identity, bereavement and major life changes.  She works with Menopause, critical inner speech, low self-worth, and Neurodivergence.  Her experience has given her a deep understanding of what it means to face adversity, navigate loss, and build resilience.

She also brings insight from her work in Compliance within the finance sector, as well as experience in corporate and self‑employed environments.  This allows her to understand the pressures, responsibilities, and stressors that can affect wellbeing in the workplace.

Georgina works holistically, weaving conversations about health and wellbeing into her therapeutic approach.  Her counselling style is Existential.  Rather than focusing on symptoms or diagnoses, she explores how we understand the world, the meanings we attach to our experiences, and how our values shape the way we live.

Throughout this process, Georgina offers warmth, openness, and a genuine effort to help you feel at ease.

Testimonials

“Georgina helped me massively with a range of issues. Her approach is calming, open and she listens to everything you say thoroughly. The techniques that Georgina taught me to deal with anxiety I use daily. I never felt like my feelings were invalid or strange.  I felt valued, supported and most importantly listened too when I had counselling.  I left each appointment with what felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.  I would recommend Confidential Counselling to anyone who needs it.”


“I still remember that horrible fear and anxiety I had back then, my Husband made the phone call to my Mother that I wanted to kill myself, it’s a phone call no Mother wants to receive.  It was at this point I knew I needed professional help.

I researched online and I came across Georgina and I am so glad I did, making that first initial appointment was difficult, it’s hard sometimes to admit that you need help, it was hard to see how my behaviour was hurting those closest to me.

Meeting Georgina for the first time was the turning point in my road to recovering from the trauma I was going through.”


“When I didn’t know who to talk to or even what to say I found Georgina.  She never pushed or probed just allowed me to talk about what I needed to talk about and in that very moment helped heal a rather large wound.

I would always recommend Georgina as a gentle person with very large shoulders”.

Additional information

Payment plans can reduce the cost of counselling by booking six or ten appointments in advance.  There is no need to make a decision before we meet, see how you feel throughout the first appointment and we can talk about whether you would like to book a course at the end of that appointment.

The amount you chose may depend on what you would like to deal with, one may be enough for you or you may wish to take a longer term approach.  You chose what is right for you.
