About George
George Coles is a counsellor who draws on three years of practice in the United Kingdom. He holds a BA (Hons) degree in Contemporary Relational Counselling and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in mood, or struggling with relationships and self‑esteem.
He works in a client-centred way that aims to make conversations straightforward and grounded. Sessions focus on what matters now - everyday reactions, difficult thoughts, and the patterns that get in the way of feeling better.
Background and approach
He uses practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches alongside mindfulness to help with worry and low mood. Attachment-based ideas are brought into sessions to look at how past relationships shape current connections and intimacy. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want support finding direction or making changes.
Together these approaches help with grief, coping with life changes, fatherhood concerns, and other life stressors. George keeps the room simple and non-judgemental. He aims to make it easier to name feelings, try new ways of responding, and build small habits that improve daily life.
He also works with issues such as panic, phobias, chronic illness and disability, isolation, and guilt. Conversations are practical and paced to the person’s needs. He can explain each step and adjust techniques so they fit real life.
If someone wants help with depression, anxiety, or finding more confidence, he offers a steady, collaborative approach.

Online support
Cognitive behavioural work breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and then tests small experiments to shift unhelpful patterns. It is practical and pairs well with online tools such as worksheets, short exercises between sessions, and focused behavioural plans for anxiety or low mood. George will discuss which combination of approaches best matches the problem and the person’s goals.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about options, try different techniques, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients are invited to set goals and feedback is used to shape sessions so they fit needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and richer interaction. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and suit shorter check-ins. Live chat or messaging can fit into busy days and allow brief reflections or ongoing support between scheduled sessions. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit around work, childcare or other commitments.
