About George

George Coles is a counsellor who uses a client-centred way of working. He focuses on listening closely and helping people find practical steps forward. He aims to make starting therapy feel straightforward and manageable for someone feeling overwhelmed or unsure.

He trained in Contemporary Relational Counselling and holds a BA (Hons) degree in that subject. George has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Background and approach

He speaks English and offers sessions using a range of online formats. George helps with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. He also supports people facing relationship difficulties, grief, issues around intimacy and the strains that come with life changes and parenthood.

He works with clients dealing with feelings of emptiness, isolation or guilt and with those coping with chronic illness or pain. In sessions he combines practical tools with reflective conversation. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to identify patterns that keep difficulties going.

Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationships shape current expectations and responses. Mindfulness and motivational techniques can help people build small, steady changes. His style is calm and straightforward.

George helps people break problems down into manageable steps. He invites clients to discuss their goals and tries to tailor sessions to what feels most useful for each person.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and emotional reactions. Online sessions can be used to notice repeating patterns in how someone connects with others and to rehearse different responses. Client-centred counselling places the person's experience at the heart of the work and focuses on being listened to without judgement. This approach helps people clarify what matters to them and to set goals at their own pace. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to spot thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and to try small experiments that can change day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. George will work collaboratively to choose which methods to try based on your needs, goals and preferences. That means checking in and adapting the plan as progress is made or as priorities change.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video works well when visual connection helps the conversation. Phone sessions can fit a short break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, spaced reflection or when typing helps you think things through. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caring responsibilities and daily life.
