Georgina McBurney, BACP

Georgina McBurney is a psycho-spiritual counsellor with ten years' experience. She blends talking therapies and body-based work to help people move through difficult feelings and regain a sense of direction.

Her approach feels warm and collaborative. She uses creative counselling and somatic techniques to help people notice how emotions show up in the body. Georgina gives practical information so people can try new ways of coping between sessions.

She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. She also focuses on caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, fertility concerns, and issues linked to first responder or armed forces experience.

Georgina draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, Somatic Therapy and Internal Family Systems to guide the work. She is interested in inner child material and how past relationships shape present patterns, especially around trust, intimacy and codependency.

Her background includes service in the armed forces, first responder roles, teaching science, animal behaviour work and kinship foster caring. Those experiences inform a practical, down-to-earth style.

If someone is ready to explore change, Georgina offers support by telephone and online. Prospective clients are advised to confirm session options and scheduling details before booking.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps that make a difference fast. It looks for what is already working and builds on those strengths to tackle stress, anxiety or life changes.

Somatic Therapy pays attention to bodily sensations and how emotions show up in the body. It uses simple movement, breath or grounding exercises to help settle intense feelings and process trauma reactions.

Internal Family Systems invites people to notice different parts of themselves - such as an inner critic or a wounded inner child - and to work with those parts with compassion. This can help with patterns around trust, intimacy and self-worth.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest whether solution-focused steps, body-based practice or parts work fits best. The decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Telephone or online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments and try short check-ins when needed. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking to ensure they suit your everyday routine.
