About Me

My name is Georgia Anderson, I am an advanced trainee Transpersonal Psychotherapist and Counsellor I have three years of counselling experience, working one-to-one and more recently with couples. I have just completed my four- year diploma in Transpersonal and Integrative Psychotherapy at the Centre of Counselling and Psychotherapy Education (CCPE) In 2023 I will be embarking on the CCPE diploma course in Couples Counselling and Intimate Relationship psychotherapy to further my expertise and knowledge on working with couples.

Finding the right therapist can be a daunting process so I always strive to create a welcoming and nurturing environment, so that clients can feel supported and comfortable during the session. As a Transpersonal psychotherapist, my objective is to help increase self- confidence, self-worth, quality of life and to promote self-healing. Through my practice, I like to focus on my client’s positive qualities. I aim to celebrate and encourage their skills, by way of acknowledgement and understanding.

It is important to me that I help guide the client to intuitively take the lead on their therapeutic journey, and it is my responsibility to facilitate this personal development and growth.

I have worked with a range of presenting issues such as attachment, eating disorders, dysfunctional relationships, addiction, family dynamics, sexual identity and sexual trauma. I am confident in my work, and that I offer a non-judgemental space to share. Due to my own therapy, I have a clear understanding of how a session can focus on anything from life’s day-to-day stresses, or delve into deeper issues. My work with couples centres around developing effective communication, promoting strength in the relationship, modifying dysfunctional behaviour, and creating a space where partners can safely express themselves to one another. It is important for me to extract the underlying issues and encourage growth once these have been acknowledged. I foster an empathetic environment that, when necessary, allows me to challenge the clients’ position, to bring about a new outlook in the relationship.

My approach I employ various techniques such as mindfulness, visualisations, dream exploration, art materials, journaling, goal setting, drama therapy and fostering of intuition.
