Background and approach
Georgina blends practical guidance with exercises that involve the body, breath and gentle reflection so people notice change between sessions. Her background includes work in the armed forces, first responder roles, science teaching and kinship fostering. Those roles inform a practical, grounded approach when addressing difficult life events and pressure.
She often draws on life experience as well as therapy skills to shape each session. Georgina can help people dealing with low mood, anxiety, grief, reduced self-esteem and the stress of major life change. She also supports those facing caregiver strain, communication problems, separation and issues connected to fertility, trauma and the armed forces.
Work can include exploring self-love, guilt, forgiveness and questions of life purpose. Therapy typically combines solution-focused discussion, somatic practices and parts work to uncover patterns and find new choices. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging and are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions.

Sessions & fees
How her approaches work online and in sessions
Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on what a person wants to achieve and builds small, practical steps toward those goals. It is useful for people who want clear actions and quick ways to test change.Somatic Therapy uses simple body awareness and breathing to help people notice how stress and strong feelings show up physically. This can be helpful for anxiety, trauma and when emotions feel stuck in the body.
Internal Family Systems is a way of working with the different parts of a person - the worried part, the protective part, the wounded part - to understand patterns and open up new choices. It often helps with repeating relationship patterns, shame and self-criticism.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit best with their goals, needs and preferences. That decision is made together and can change as the work progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit sessions around daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels important, phone sessions can be simpler when internet bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options help people access consistent support without long travel or time away from work and family.
