About Cynthia
Cynthia Gentle helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and addiction. She supports those coping with relationship problems, grief, trauma and intimacy-related concerns. Cynthia also works with eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem and career pressures.
She addresses complex issues such as bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue and ADHD as well as attachment and abandonment worries. Cynthia uses straightforward, conversational sessions to build self-understanding. She pays attention to cultural identity and how it shapes self-worth.
Background and approach
This helps people feel more grounded and make clearer choices in daily life. Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods and adapts them to each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice thoughts and commit to values-based actions.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to challenge unhelpful thinking and change unhelpful behaviours. Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ways of working create space for people to feel heard and explored at their own pace. Cynthia has five years of clinical experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP.
She works in the United Kingdom and can converse in English and Shona. She is open to working with clients from other countries when that fits both parties. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.
Therapy is subscription-based and can be cancelled at any time, with fees varying by location and the therapist's arrangements.

How Cynthia works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cynthia will discuss different ways of working and together decide what fits the client's needs and goals. This collaborative process means therapy can shift as problems and priorities change.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, because the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit talks into a busy life, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also gives more choice about where and when to meet, which many people find helps them stay consistent with sessions.
