About George
George Prior is a person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He draws on empathy, openness and acceptance to create a calm space where people can talk about what matters most. Sessions are led by the client’s priorities and paced to suit them.
He has four years of experience supporting people through anxiety, depression and stress. He also helps with relationship strain, grief, addiction concerns and issues around self-esteem. He aims to listen without judgement and to help people reconnect with their own strengths.
Background and approach
In practice he uses a client-centred way of working alongside narrative and solution-focused approaches. That means he starts by hearing your story, helps you notice patterns in how you talk about yourself, and looks for small practical steps you can try between sessions. Sessions are conversational and grounded in what you want to achieve.
George focuses on building understanding and on clear, achievable goals when that feels helpful. He offers different formats so people can choose what fits their life. He follows the ethical standards of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
If you are thinking about starting therapy, he encourages a gentle first step and will work at a pace that suits you.

Approaches George lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will choose what to try first. It is common to combine elements from different approaches and adjust the plan as you learn what helps you most.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you see and hear each other for deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer voice only. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, reflective writing or flexing sessions around work or caring commitments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on progress and practical change.
