My Philosophy
My name is Georgetta. I am an experienced qualified counsellor, registered with The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) which means I am committed to working according to their Ethical Framework.
​
Sometimes, life experiences leave us with little or no hope. EPOH is an acronym that describes the way I will work with you. The aim is to work backwards through my EPOH approach so you can regain a sense of hope in your life. I believe that given an enabling environment, you may slowly begin to see a glimmer of light through the darkness of the situation you are in.
My role is to work with you in your own unique way to identify and have a deeper understanding of the underlying barriers that get in the way of being able to live a fully functioning life. I work one-to-one, online with adults of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientation and gender identities.
Supporting clients in the following areas
Anxiety
Do you ever feel fearful and anxious, or have negative thoughts that will not go away? I can work with you identify triggers, process your thoughts and feelings so you can understand and learn ways of calming the anxious mind.
Bereavement
I work with all types of grief with special interest in baby loss and trauma related grief. I support my clients by walking alongside each of them as they navigate through the various stages of their grief.
Identity Issues
Are you born and bred in a country, yet do not feel part of that society? Or have you lost a sense of identity as you reach a certain age? I can support you through the process of self discovery in order to come to terms with your authentic self.
Binge Eating Disorder
Clients may have an unhealthy relationship with food. They may also be stuck in yo-yo dieting cycle which could lead to depression, self-loathing or shame. My work is to explore causal factors and support clients to find sustainable solutions.
​
Workplace Stress
Too much stress could lead to all sorts of illness and mental health conditions. I can help you to understand factors that triggers your stress and support you in finding ways to manage stress levels better.
Personal Development
We all have the ability to live life to full potential in our own unique and creative way. However, low self-esteem or lack of confidence, which may have stemmed from disapproving comments in childhood, can get in the way. I aim to work holistically with you to empower personal growth and resilience.
Walk and talk
The combination of mindful walking in nature and talking therapy could put clients at ease to open up and explore feelings about difficult experiences. I walk with clients mainly around beautiful parks or waterways.
