I have five years experience in working as a therapist, helping people with depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, spirituality, boundary issues, anger, panic, and overwhelm. I have worked as an equine coach, and an English and drama teacher in private and international school settings.
Hi, I'm Georgie and I am currently offering psychotherapeutic counselling for adults, children and young people from a practice room in Poole, Wimborne and online.
All my clients are enabled to feel safe and comfortable with me. This is my starting point as I believe people are their own best resource in terms of healing, growth or change and that by facilitating the right environment for my clients, I can help them understand and reflect on what is going on for them; how they operate in the world and get in touch with what it is that they need from their life and relationships within the context of their own narrative. I integrate my understanding of a broad range of theories in the way that I work and this insight helps us both work towards your growth and an increasing sense of yourself as "ok" in the world; leaving you free to get on and make choices you want to make; fully conscious of what perhaps had been the non conscious influences you were under or the adaptations of self you chose to lay down.
I sometimes work in a proactive way, drawing on creative therapeutic techniques such as art, play and movement as well as mindfulness, self compassion and the body and breath work informed by poly vagal theory. I try to work responsively to the client in front of me and go at their pace. I tend to take regular breaks in the work, which I find beneficial for the client and the integration of change and growth that can happen when someone is in therapy. It also helps me to stay feeling grounded, connected and well. I work in both a long and short term way. After an initial discussion of your aims from therapy, we would decide upon the duration of our work within the first few sessions, allowing some degree of flexibility and review throughout.
I prefer face to face therapeutic work. However, I can be flexible where necessary with online therapy. All sessions are 50mins long
