Background and approach

This can be useful when anxiety, depression or trauma feel stuck and hard to shift. Georgina often draws on inner child work to help adults look at patterns that began in earlier life. She supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, trust or intimacy challenges, and codependent behaviour.

Practical guidance and short-term goals are included when helpful so people can try things between sessions. She has a varied background including service in the armed forces, first responder roles, teaching science, working with animal behaviour and kinship foster caring. Those experiences shape a pragmatic and grounded counselling style.

Georgina works online and by telephone to fit around life commitments. Sessions combine conversation, psycho-education and gentle body-focused interventions. The emphasis is on the person’s experience rather than labels.

Georgina aims to help clients reconnect with themselves and find clearer ways forward.

How somatic and solution-focused work translates online

Somatic Therapy helps people notice where emotions live in the body and use simple physical practices to relieve tension. It can be useful for persistent anxiety, trauma symptoms or when feelings feel trapped rather than easily spoken about.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes that move a person toward their goals. It suits people who want clear, achievable actions to try between sessions and faster progress on specific problems.

Internal Family Systems invites people to recognise different parts of themselves and how those parts relate. This can help when inner conflict, shame or self-blame get in the way of change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adapt the plan as things unfold.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. It makes it easier to fit counselling around busy lives and keeps contact consistent when travel or schedules are challenging. Many people find that working this way still allows meaningful change while being more practical for day-to-day life.
