About George
George Prior is a person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He uses a calm, accepting style to help people talk through anxiety, low mood, grief and other concerns. He works in English and brings four years of experience to each meeting.
His practice puts the client at the centre. Sessions follow what matters most to the person rather than a rigid plan. George emphasises empathy, honest conversation and an open attitude so people can explore thoughts at their own pace.
Background and approach
He also draws on narrative and solution-focused ideas when helpful. Narrative techniques can help people make sense of painful stories and see new possibilities. Solution-focused work aims at small, doable steps that build confidence and momentum.
Common areas he supports include stress, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns and substance use. He also works with people facing identity questions, trauma, eating issues, career pressures and compassion fatigue. A longer list of focus areas includes ageing and caregiver stress, commitment and communication problems, and gender dysphoria.
George follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - ethical framework. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. To start clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Approaches George lists

How person-centred and practical approaches work online
George uses person-centred work to create an accepting, non-judgemental space where people can talk about stress, loss, parenting worries and identity questions. This approach focuses on listening, empathy and following what matters to the client rather than imposing a fixed plan.Narrative Therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. It can be useful for trauma, low mood or feeling stuck by separating the person from the problem and opening up different ways forward. Solution-Focused Therapy targets small, practical changes and builds on what is already working; it can be helpful when someone wants clear, short-term goals and steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. George will discuss options with clients and decide together which style fits their needs and preferences. The process is collaborative and can change over time as goals shift.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so people can choose what suits their routine. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging formats suit shorter check-ins or times when being on camera is difficult. These options make counselling more flexible and easier to fit around family life, work and other commitments.
