About George

George Prior is a person-centred counsellor working in the United Kingdom. He draws on the person-centred way of working to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about hard things. He has four years of experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns.

Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and move at their pace. George aims to listen without judgement and to respond with empathy and honesty.

Background and approach

He believes the person in therapy is the expert on their life and that therapy is a place to notice feelings and choices. Common issues he helps with include anxiety, depression, grief and stress. He also supports people dealing with relationship strain, intimacy-related questions, and difficulty coping with change.

His work includes support around addictions, eating concerns, and bipolar mood difficulties, along with challenges linked to trauma and abuse. He also helps people facing career uncertainty, parenting strain, caregiver stress and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of focus include commitment and communication problems, abandonment, dissociation and issues connected to gender and sexual identity.

Sessions are guided by the person's priorities rather than a rigid agenda. George uses client-centred listening alongside narrative and solution-focused ideas to help people make sense of their experience and try practical steps forward. He follows the ethical standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, in his practice.

To begin, a short matching process and scheduling step connects people to his sessions. He offers several online formats so people can choose what fits their life and needs.

Ways of working George names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approach-driven online counselling that fits your life

George blends person-centred work with narrative and solution-focused ideas to offer practical online counselling. Person-centred therapy focuses on empathic listening and acceptance, helping people feel heard as they talk through difficult feelings and decisions. Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps reframe those stories so they feel less stuck and more in control. Solution-focused therapy homes in on small, achievable steps and on what’s already working, which can be useful for stress, anxiety and life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work and is decided together. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences and what you hope to change, then suggest ways of working that feel right for you. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as your needs shift.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let you have a longer, face-to-face style conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat and messaging let you check in without scheduling a full call and can be easier to manage around work or family life. These options make it simpler to keep therapy going when life is busy.
