About George
George Prior is a person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He works from empathy and acceptance, offering a calm space where people can be heard without judgement. His practice focuses on helping people find clarity and rebuild confidence at their own pace.
Prior draws on four years of experience supporting people with anxiety, depression and mood shifts. He also helps with addictions, trauma and grief. People come to him for practical support when life feels overwhelming or stuck.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped by what matters most to the person in front of him. He listens for each person’s strengths and helps them notice what already works. The aim is to increase self-awareness and to help people choose changes that feel right for them.
He uses person-centred ways of working alongside narrative and solution-focused approaches. That mix lets conversations be both exploratory and action-oriented. People can reflect on their story while also setting small goals to try between sessions.
Prior follows the ethical standards of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He describes himself as compassionate and respectful, and keeps the pace guided by each person’s needs. To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short questionnaire to be matched and scheduled.

How George works online
Narrative Therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about their lives. It can be useful for issues like shame, identity and grief by separating the person from the problem and finding alternative ways to view events.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and immediate goals. It suits people who want short-term work to change habits, manage stress or build clearer routines.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can be reviewed as sessions progress to keep the work relevant and useful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel, making it easier to schedule sessions around work or childcare, and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often tailor session length and focus to suit everyday routines and goals.
