About George

George Prior is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. He works with people facing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, addiction issues and anger. Sessions focus on what the client brings and move at the client's pace.

He uses a person-centred way of working that puts the individual's own priorities first. That means listening closely, reflecting what is said, and helping people notice their own choices. Sessions are not driven by a fixed agenda; they follow the concerns that matter right now.

George also draws on narrative ideas to help people reframe unhelpful stories they tell about themselves. This can be useful for low self-esteem, feelings of emptiness, or when past trauma keeps shaping reactions in the present. He uses solution-focused techniques when clients want practical steps and clear short-term goals.

In practice he helps people untangle anger that shows up at home, at work, or in close relationships. He supports those dealing with life changes, parenting stress, career pressure, and first-responder strain. He also works with issues connected to LGBT experience, gender dysphoria, BDSM and kink culture, and addiction concerns.

Sessions aim to build self-awareness and clearer communication. George encourages clients to notice patterns, try small changes, and reflect on what works. He follows the ethical standards of the BACP and asks prospective clients to use the site's matching and scheduling tools to begin.

How sessions work

How George's approaches translate to online work

George uses a person-centred approach that focuses on what the client wants to talk about. The counsellor listens closely, reflects back what he hears, and helps people clarify their own priorities and choices. This is useful for ongoing issues like anger, low mood, or relationship stress.

Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from limiting stories they may repeat about who they are. It can lighten shame and open new perspectives on past events and current reactions. Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on practical steps and small changes clients can try between sessions to reduce tension or manage anger more effectively.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will discuss preferences, goals and what feels useful, and then shape sessions around that collaboration. Clients and the counsellor review progress and adjust the plan as needed.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and making check-ins easier to keep. If you want specific session formats, please confirm the current options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online meetings can be shorter or longer depending on need, and they make it easier to schedule around work, caregiving or other commitments.
