Georgina McBurney, BACP

Georgina McBurney is a psycho-spiritual counsellor who works with the full range of the human psyche, attending to spiritual, mental, emotional and physical dimensions of experience. She integrates talking therapies with somatic techniques to support healing and forward movement, and she has a particular specialism in Inner Child Therapy that helps adults explore their relationship with themselves, their past, and with others.

Her Inner Child work is often recommended for people experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, codependency, trust or intimacy difficulties, and repetitive patterns of acting in or acting out. Georgina’s style is warm, creative and collaborative, and she blends psycho-education into sessions to empower clients within a typically shorter-term counselling framework. Rather than focusing on diagnostic labels, she prioritises the client’s lived experience, reflecting the person-centered spirit associated with Carl Rogers.

Her approach weaves creative counselling, ecotherapy and psychospiritual psychology, and is tailored to each person’s needs and circumstances. Georgina brings a varied background to her work, including service in the armed forces, first responder roles, science teaching, animal behaviour work and kinship foster caring. She holds BACP accreditation, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and offers support by telephone and online for people in the United Kingdom.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Georgina combines several practical therapies to meet different needs. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying strengths and clear, achievable goals so clients can make concrete changes and move past current difficulties. Somatic Therapy focuses on the body-mind connection, using awareness of physical sensations alongside talking to process stress, trauma and emotional tension. Internal Family Systems works with the different parts of a person’s inner world, helping to understand and reorganise internal conflicts that affect relationships and self-worth.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Georgina works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. This means approaches can be adapted over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people with busy lives or limited local options. Georgina provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, allowing therapy to happen from home or between commitments. Registered professionals and therapists can effectively use these formats to maintain continuity of care, make scheduling easier, and support access for those dealing with stress, grief, anxiety or major life changes.
