About Cynthia
Cynthia Gentle is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage depression and related difficulties. She draws on practical conversations to build self-understanding and strengthen sense of self. Sessions are offered in English and Shona to suit different needs.
She pays attention to cultural identity and self-worth as central parts of healing. In sessions she helps people talk through experiences like discrimination, narcissistic abuse recovery, and HIV/AIDS related concerns. She also supports those coping with miscarriage, perinatal mental health and seasonal affective disorder.
Background and approach
Cynthia uses clear, straightforward methods to help people notice patterns and try small changes. She works from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to shape conversations and practical exercises. Her style is gentle and collaborative.
She helps people explore their history and how it affects current feelings and choices. Sessions aim to make problems easier to manage day to day rather than promising quick fixes. Based in the United Kingdom, Cynthia has five years of practice and holds BACP registration.
She accepts international clients and offers a mix of session types to fit different schedules and needs.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Cynthia will explore a client's goals, history and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as therapy progresses.
Online sessions can fit around busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer typing, want more flexible timing, or need step-by-step support between calls. Registered or accredited professionals use these formats to offer continuity and easier scheduling for people in different places.
