About Cindy
Dr. Cindy George uses a blend of practical talking therapies to help people manage difficult feelings and life challenges. She draws on 25 years of experience and a patient, non-judgemental style.
Her work focuses on common problems such as anxiety, depression, stress and relationship or intimacy concerns. She trained through undergraduate and postgraduate study, and holds a BACP credential. Over a long career she has worked in many settings, including independent practice and community mental health.
Background and approach
That experience has shaped a straightforward approach that aims to make change feel manageable. In sessions she helps people spot patterns in thoughts and behaviours, and then try small experiments to see what changes. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches and skills-based therapies to reduce distress and build coping tools.
She also draws on client-centred and narrative ideas to help people make sense of life events. She supports people dealing with grief, trauma and addictions, as well as issues around self-esteem and body image. Career stress, midlife questions and navigating major life changes are also common themes she addresses.
Work on communication and commitment concerns is offered in plain, practical terms. Therapy with her is collaborative and goal-focused. She helps people set realistic steps and reviews progress together.
If someone prefers different ways of working, she adapts methods to fit their needs and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr Cindy George often draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to help people notice how thoughts affect feelings and behaviours. CBT involves practical steps and experiments you can try between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings and change unhelpful habits. She also uses client-centred therapy which focuses on listening and understanding your experience, helping you feel heard and supported while you make changes.Dialectical behaviour therapy is another approach she uses for building emotional regulation and coping skills. DBT teaches concrete skills for tolerating distress, improving emotional control and enhancing interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotions and relationship strain. Together these approaches offer both practical tools and a compassionate framework for working through problems.
Choosing the right method is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. She will adjust techniques over time so the approach fits the individual's needs and pace.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which make therapy flexible around work and family commitments. Video lets you use visual cues during conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. Many people find these options make it easier to keep therapy consistent alongside busy lives.
