About Georgina
Georgina McBurney is a BACP counsellor with ten years' experience. She blends talking therapies with body-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. Her manner is warm and collaborative, and she aims to make sessions practical and straightforward.
Georgina describes her work as psycho-spiritual, which means she attends to mental, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of experience. She uses somatic techniques to help people notice and work with sensations in the body alongside talking through thoughts and feelings.
How Georgina works
Her training in Internal Family Systems informs how she helps people understand different parts of themselves and their internal dynamics. She often uses Solution-Focused Therapy to help people set clear, achievable goals and to build on what already works. That approach is brief and practical, so sessions can focus on steps you can try between meetings.
Georgina also draws on inner child and creative methods when useful to explore patterns from the past that still affect day-to-day life. Her background includes prior careers in the armed forces, first responder roles, teaching and kinship fostering.
These experiences inform a practical and grounded style that suits people facing big life changes, caregiver stress, relationship communication problems, fertility concerns, or recovery from trauma. Sessions are offered online in the United Kingdom. Georgina works with adults who want practical tools, somatic awareness and a collaborative space to rebuild self-worth and direction.

How Georgina's approaches work online
Georgina uses Solution-Focused Therapy to help people identify small, achievable goals and build on what already works. This approach is action-oriented and suits people who want clear steps and short-term progress.She also draws on Somatic Therapy, which pays attention to sensations in the body as part of emotional healing. Somatic techniques can help with anxiety, trauma responses and regulation by bringing awareness to breathing, posture and bodily signals.
Internal Family Systems helps people map different parts of themselves and understand internal conflicts. This method can make feelings like guilt, shame or emptiness easier to talk about and shift by creating a calmer internal relationship.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options, try methods in session and adapt based on your needs and preferences. The process is guided by your goals and what feels helpful as you progress.
Online formats offer practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be quicker to arrange and use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier than speaking. Together these options make therapy more flexible to fit around work, caregiving and other commitments.
