About Georgina

Georgina McBurney is a counsellor with ten years' experience who combines talking and body-based methods. She works from a psycho-spiritual perspective, attending to mental, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of experience. Georgina uses creative and somatic techniques to help people move through stress, anxiety, grief and life changes.

She draws on Solution-Focused work and Internal Family Systems ideas alongside somatic practices. That mix lets her focus on practical steps while also noticing how the body holds experience.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Georgina describes her style as warm and creative. She prefers shorter-term work when that suits a person's goals and includes clear explanations about how therapy tools can help.

Her way of working is conversational and practical rather than focused on labels. Her background includes previous roles in the armed forces, first responder work, teaching science, animal behaviour and kinship foster caring. Those experiences inform an understanding of stressful and demanding life situations, including issues common to veteran and first responder pathways.

Clients come for help with a wide range of concerns such as low self-esteem, depression, caregiver stress, relationship communication problems, fertility and family issues. Georgina offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to therapist availability.

She practises in the United Kingdom and conducts therapy in English.

How Georgina's approaches translate to online therapy

Solution-Focused Therapy centres on small, practical steps and clear goals. It helps people who want to target specific problems or make measurable changes in day-to-day life by focusing on what works and building on strengths.

Somatic Therapy pays attention to bodily sensations and movement as part of emotional healing. It can help when anxiety, stress or trauma show up in tightness, sleep disruption or physical tension, offering simple body-based practices alongside talk work.

Internal Family Systems looks at different parts of a person's inner experience and how they relate to one another. It can be useful for people who notice repeating patterns of behaviour or conflicting feelings and want to understand those patterns more kindly.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and test what helps most, adjusting methods as work progresses. That collaboration makes it easier to find a practical path forward.

Online sessions offer flexibility in how therapy fits your life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation where useful, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text sessions can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to schedule sessions around work, family and other commitments while still working with registered and accredited professionals.
