About George
George Coles is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, self-esteem and depression, and he has experience supporting those facing prenatal or postnatal challenges.
He trained with a BA (Hons) in Contemporary Relational Counselling and uses that background to focus on how relationships and attachment affect everyday life. Sessions aim to make space for thoughts and feelings to be talked through without judgment. George pays attention to patterns in relationships that keep people stuck, and he helps them spot alternatives.
His approach mixes talking therapies and practical strategies. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and small behavioural changes. Mindfulness techniques are used to notice thoughts and tensions in the body. Motivational Interviewing can help when someone feels stuck about making changes.
George also works with issues around grief, intimacy, family roles and fatherhood, and problems such as panic attacks, phobias and chronic illness. He offers steady, direct conversation about what is getting in the way and what might help next.
Sessions are client-led and paced to the individual. The focus is on clear, manageable steps and on building more reliable ways of dealing with pressure and relationship stress. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session.
How George uses talking therapies online
George commonly draws on Attachment-Based work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Attachment-focused work looks at how past and present relationships shape current feelings and reactions, which can help with trust, intimacy and relationship patterns. CBT focuses on thoughts and behaviours, offering clear steps to test unhelpful beliefs and try different actions in everyday life.He also uses client-centred methods, which put the person’s concerns at the centre of each session. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. George will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods suit the issues and how the person likes to work, so the plan is a collaborative decision.
If you plan to meet online, confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make sessions fit around work or caring commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. It also makes it easier to keep continuity while managing day-to-day responsibilities.
