George Coles, BACP

George Coles is a UK-based therapist who brings three years of professional experience to his counselling work. He holds a BA (Hons) degree in Contemporary Relational Counselling - a bachelor of arts with honours focused on relationship-centered approaches - and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

George works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties, and he offers support for life transitions, family and intimacy-related concerns, grief, and postpartum issues. He also focuses on attachment-related difficulties, chronic pain or illness, communication challenges, feelings of emptiness, and fatherhood and men's issues. His practice includes work with panic disorder, personality-related concerns, phobias and coping with guilt or shame.

In sessions George aims to create an open, non-judgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. He collaborates with clients to identify goals and practical steps toward greater wellbeing, drawing on relational and evidence-informed methods. Taking the first step toward change can be difficult, and George offers steady, supportive guidance throughout that process.

Online therapy with attachment and cognitive approaches

George often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence current patterns of connection and trust. This approach helps people understand relational needs and improve intimacy, communication and emotional responses.

He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a warm, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship where the client’s perspective guides the work. This method supports self-exploration, self-esteem and personal growth by prioritising empathy and acceptance.

Additionally, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood or panic. CBT can be combined with relational approaches depending on the issue.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and George works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals and preferences. He will discuss options and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging allow flexible access to therapy from home or other convenient locations. These options can make it easier to fit appointments around work, family and health needs while keeping therapeutic momentum consistent.
