Georgia Seabrook

Therapy offers people a unique opportunity for their voices to be heard, for their pain to be truly acknowledged. Georgia provides a compassionate, safe and nurturing space where clients can freely share all aspects of their experience in the world without shame or fear of judgement. She also believes that the therapeutic relationship can be used to collaboratively explore a client’s difficult thoughts and feelings in order to help them deepen their understanding of themselves and the ways in which they relate to others. Georgia uses an integrative approach, applying several ways of working to best suit her clients’ needs. She draws mainly from existential-phenomenological practice, which focuses on issues in the context of the big questions we may all have about life, as well as experiences in the here and now. Georgia may also use mindfulness techniques to encourage a client to get in touch with what is going on for them in the present moment, compassion-focused exercises to help direct kindness inwards, or psychodynamic practice to help a client process childhood experiences or traumas that may be impacting their lives.

Before training to become a therapist, Georgia worked in a school for children with social, emotional and mental health needs and as a mental health recovery worker. Understanding the challenges and frustrations that mental health problems can bring to all aspects of life, Georgia is interested in encouraging greater self-compassion and understanding as a tool of resilience when things feel difficult.

Georgia is currently training to become a registered psychotherapist and is working towards a professional doctorate in existential psychotherapy and counselling. She is a UKCP member, and works within The Awareness Centre’s NHS Lambeth counselling service.
