Georgina McBurney , BACP

Georgina McBurney is a counsellor with ten years of practice who blends talk work and body-focused techniques. She describes her work as psycho-spiritual, and she guides people through emotional and life shifts with a warm, creative style.

She uses somatic methods alongside talking therapies to help people notice and change patterns held in the body. That practical focus often helps with stress, anxiety, depression and grief. Georgina also supports people exploring self-esteem, self-love and life purpose.

Her background includes time in the armed forces and first responder roles, as well as work in education, animal behaviour and kinship fostering. Those varied experiences inform a down-to-earth, pragmatic approach to counselling. Georgina is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP.

Sessions are collaborative and tend to be creative rather than strictly clinical. She offers psycho-education alongside therapy so people learn tools they can use outside sessions. Georgina pays attention to childhood wounds and the inner child work that often underpins long-term change.

She helps people facing caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence aftermath, fertility struggles and other life transitions. She also works with trauma-related issues such as post-traumatic stress and challenges faced by veterans and first responders.

Work is offered online by video or telephone, and through live chat or text messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to set up the first appointment and choose a suitable path forward.

How these approaches work online

Solution-Focused Therapy aims for small, achievable changes by focusing on what is already working and building on it. It suits people who want clear, short-term goals and practical steps to manage stress or life transitions.

Somatic Therapy helps people notice sensations in the body and uses movement, breath or grounding techniques to ease stored tension. This approach can be useful for anxiety, trauma responses and when emotions feel stuck in the body.

Internal Family Systems looks at inner parts of the self and how they relate. It helps people understand patterns such as self-criticism, shame or perfectionism and offers a way to build self-compassion and internal balance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, and then tailor the mix of methods together with the client. That shared decision-making helps ensure sessions match the person’s needs and pace.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or busy days while still getting regular support.
