HOW I CAN HELP
You don't have to be in crisis to need support
My main priority is ensuring you access the most appropriate care and treatment. Our first appointment is an opportunity to learn more about you and think about how we could work together.
WHO I WORK WITH
What brings people to therapy
Many of the people I work with are functioning well on the outside — holding down jobs, maintaining relationships — but struggling privately. If you recognise yourself in any of these, I'd love to hear from you.
Trauma & PTSD
Including complex trauma, bullying and domestic abuse— single events or a lifetime of difficult experiences
Crippling anxiety, worry & panic
When anxiety stops you breathing, feeling joy, or living the life you want
Low mood & depression
Feeling flat, hopeless, or like you've lost yourself and your joy for life
Feeling stuck in life
Powerless to change, delayed, frightened of living — or just not feeling like yourself
Low self-esteem & self-criticism
Fear of failing, fear of being seen — difficulty believing in yourself
Antinatal & postnatal difficulties
When the journey to parenthood feels challenging, including postnatal depression, difficulties during pregnancy, birth trauma & PTSD
Life transitions & adjustment
Big changes that shake your sense of who you are and where you are going
Burnout & work-related stress
When the pressure has accumulated to a point where something has to change
A note from Georgina
"Like so many, I have experienced adversity and challenges with my physical and emotional wellbeing. This has fuelled my passion for this work."
I know these skills and techniques work — they have helped me to work through my own trauma, depression and debilitating anxiety.
Sometimes in life we have not had the opportunity to learn important skills and techniques to notice, pay attention to, and manage our feelings and emotions. We don't get taught this at school, but we can learn at any age.
Investing in yourself, learning to slow down, and notice your needs, is the first step towards a more peaceful future.
APPROCHES I USE
Evidence-based, but never rigid
I'm trained in several evidence-based therapies, but I don't work from a manual. I bring these tools together in a way that fits the person in front of me.
A powerful, evidence-based therapy for processing traumatic memories. EMDR helps the brain reprocess distressing experiences so they no longer feel overwhelming. I hold specialist training to Parts 1, 2 & 3 — one of the most advanced levels of qualification available.
Particularly helpful for people who struggle with self-criticism, shame, and harsh inner voices. CFT helps you develop a warmer, more supportive relationship with yourself — not through toxic positivity, but through genuine understanding of why you are the way you are.
ACT focuses on living a full, values-driven life even in the presence of difficult thoughts and feelings. Rather than fighting against your inner experience, you learn to relate to it differently — with more flexibility and less suffering.
One of the most well-researched therapies available. CBT helps you identify and shift unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour. I use it as a framework when it fits — and draw on other approaches when something else serves better.
DBT offers a toolkit of practical skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, improving relationships, and living more mindfully. I draw on these skills where they're a good fit, particularly for people who feel overwhelmed by emotion.
Mindfulness isn't about emptying your mind — it's about relating differently to your thoughts and feelings. Woven throughout my work, mindfulness-based approaches help build moment-to-moment awareness and reduce the grip of anxious, ruminative thinking.
YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT
Starting to draw the map
It is understandable if you feel anxious and unsure about reaching out for support. Take one step at a time. Be brave. Go at your own pace.
I will listen and explore your struggles, but I won't ask you to share anything you are not ready to talk about yet. The first appointment is about hearing the headlines of your life — understanding where you are now, and where you would like to go.
Sometimes I may recommend or discuss other services if this is in your best interest. My priority is always that you access the most appropriate care for you.
