About George

George Prior is a person-centred counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. He works from a compassionate, non-judgemental stance and focuses on helping people talk through anxiety, low mood, loss and life transitions. He has four years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

George uses an approach that places the client at the centre of each session. He listens with empathy and offers a calm space for people to reflect at their own pace. Sessions are shaped by what matters most to the person rather than by a fixed agenda.

Alongside person-centred work, he draws on narrative and solution-focused ideas to help people tell their story in new ways and spot small practical steps forward. This mix supports people dealing with stress, relationship difficulties, and challenges around identity, including LGBT and gender dysphoria concerns.

George also supports those facing addictions, bereavement, parenting strain and career questions, and he is familiar with trauma, bipolar and eating-related issues. He pays attention to areas like abandonment, intimacy-related worries, and communication problems when they come up in sessions.

He follows BACP ethical standards and aims to help people deepen self-awareness and reconnect with their own resources. To start, clients choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How these approaches work in online counselling

George uses person-centred work to create a calm, attentive atmosphere where clients steer the conversation and set the pace. This approach helps when someone needs time to reflect on feelings like anxiety, low mood or grief. Narrative therapy helps people reframe difficult life stories by separating the person from the problem and exploring alternative meanings and possibilities. Solution-focused work looks for small, practical steps and strengths to build on, which can be useful for stress, relationship concerns and financial or career decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. George will work together with each person to choose which ideas to use based on their needs, goals and preferences. That means sessions can shift over time as different challenges arise and priorities change.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit around daily life, reduce travel time and make shorter check-ins easier to schedule. Discussing how you prefer to meet and what you want to achieve is part of the first steps with the therapist.
