About Me
Georgie Simmons
I have dedicated several intensive years to training as a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist, honing the skills necessary to provide effective and safe therapy, fully focused on you and your journey to well-being.
My training was carefully designed to ensure I am equipped to work therapeutically with adults, children, and young people, offering the competence and ability to support individuals of all ages.
~I believe everyone, regardless of age or background, deserves the space to be seen, heard, and supported in the counselling environment.
As a counsellor and therapist I have worked with a diverse range of difficulties, anxiety, depression, emotional challenges, experiencing difficult life events, mental health difficulties, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, self-esteem issues, body image, personal struggles and many more.
This diverse experience has strengthened my ability to support and guide you through any challenges, obstacles, or self-exploration you may face.
Beyond my professional qualifications, I have personally experienced counselling and psychotherapy. This firsthand experience has given me profound insight into what it's like to be a 'client' in the therapeutic space, helping me approach each session with empathy, understanding, and a deep appreciation for the process of healing.
