About Cynthia

Cynthia Gentle helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and relationship concerns. She also supports people facing grief, depression, trauma and intimacy-related difficulties. Parents worried about sleep, eating or parenting strain can find practical ideas in sessions.

Cynthia works with mood conditions including bipolar and seasonal affective disorder and offers support around ADHD and compassion fatigue. She draws on several approaches to keep work straightforward and grounded. Sessions concentrate on what matters most to the person who turns up.

Background and approach

Cynthia listens closely, reflects on how past experiences shape current reactions, and helps people try out small changes between meetings. Cynthia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect trust and closeness now.

Client-Centred techniques make space for the person’s story and feelings to be heard without judgement. With five years of practice, Cynthia brings experience with issues such as abandonment, domestic violence, infidelity and multicultural concerns. Her approach is practical and compassionate, aiming to make therapy feel useful from the start.

She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and Shona and are available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Work can focus on short-term goals or longer explorations, depending on what each person needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Cynthia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and commit to actions that fit their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression and problems where avoidance has become a pattern. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns affect trust and closeness now and to help people find healthier ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cynthia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that feel like a good fit. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new priorities appear.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy adaptable to busy lives. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick reflections between appointments, or people who find writing easier than talking.

These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel so people can keep momentum and try therapeutic tasks between sessions.
