About Georgina
Georgina McBurney is a counsellor with ten years' experience who blends talking therapies and body-based work. She draws on a wide background, including time in the armed forces and first responder roles, to offer grounded support. Georgina practices online and by telephone and aims to help people reconnect with themselves and move forward from difficult times, including depression and anxiety.
Her style is warm and collaborative. Sessions are practical and often include simple learning to use between meetings.
Background and approach
Georgina pays attention to emotional experience, bodily sensations, and spiritual meaning when that matters to a person. She uses somatic methods to help people notice and work with sensations held in the body. This can be useful when anxiety, trauma or overwhelm show up as tension, numbness or panic.
Georgina also uses Internal Family Systems ideas to help people map different inner parts and their needs, so those parts stop arguing with each other. Solution-Focused Therapy is part of her toolkit, so some sessions concentrate on small, concrete steps that build confidence and momentum. Georgina adapts the balance of work to each person, mixing longer conversations with brief exercises when useful.
Her past roles, including time supporting veterans and in care settings, inform an understanding of stress linked to service, caregiving and life transitions. Georgina aims to create a practical space online or by phone where people can explore grief, self-worth and changes in life direction.

Online support
Somatic Therapy in her work invites attention to bodily sensations and simple grounding exercises. Over video or phone she guides clients through noticing breath, posture and tension, which can ease anxiety and make emotions more manageable.
Internal Family Systems ideas are used to name and learn from different inner parts. In online sessions she helps clients map these parts and practice gentle dialogues between them to reduce inner conflict and increase self-compassion.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Georgina will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try methods that suit those needs. She adapts the mix of talking, body work and solution-focused tasks as the work progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging works for brief reflections between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments.
