About George

BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 3 years' experience, George Coles helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem and depression. He also supports those adjusting to life changes and parents dealing with perinatal concerns. George uses approaches such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing in his work.

George holds a BA (Hons) in Contemporary Relational Counselling. He frames sessions around straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small changes that can reduce distress. He listens for patterns in relationships and responses to stress that influence daily life.

His use of attachment-focused ideas helps people look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. Client-Centred Therapy shapes sessions so the person sets the pace and topics. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools are used to test thoughts and try different behaviours between meetings.

Mindfulness exercises are offered to help people notice feelings without getting overwhelmed, and Motivational Interviewing helps those struggling with change to identify reasons to move forward. George aims to make therapy direct and practical rather than theoretical.

People considering therapy are invited to start with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The counsellor works in English and practices in the United Kingdom.

How his approaches work in online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and their impact on feelings and behaviour. In practice this means talking about key relationships and noticing repeated reactions that cause tension or distance.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s priorities at the heart of sessions. The counsellor follows the client’s lead, helping them explore topics at their own pace and name what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Between sessions clients may try simple tasks to test new ways of thinking and acting.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and agree together which methods to focus on. That collaborative process can change over time as needs shift.

The practical benefits of remote sessions should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can help fit meetings into a busy week, make shorter check-ins possible, or remove travel time. Confirm the available session formats when arranging your first appointment.
