About me

Hi, my name is George.  My passion, as a qualified Counsellor, is helping people make sense of their lives and relationships with others, and helping people like you make positive changes enabling them to live a happier, more balanced life.

Relationships can be amazing, offering a sense of security and happiness. But, when they are not working, we can be left feeling confused, lonely, lacking in confidence, frustrated, anxious or resentful.

You may want to make changes but feel stuck, not knowing how or where to start.

But, you don't have to feel this way.

We can work together to understand your relationships, understand patterns and make positive change.

Each client will have different needs but we can work on improved communication, establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries, understanding your own needs, reducing people pleasing and building confidence.

We may look at your past relationships to better understand the present, we will also work towards creating happier relationships in the future.

Whether you are facing challenges with a controlling parent, difficulties in your marriage, complicated family dynamics, friendship issues, dating anxiety stressful work relationships  or any kind of Relational difficulty, I would love to work with you.

As a qualified Counsellor I have had the pleasure of helping many clients improve their confidence and address difficulties, leading to happier, more fulfilling connections with others and I would love to help you too.

Just click the Email tab and we can arrange a free introductory call.

I look forward to hearing from you.
