George Dobson

NEW HOURS

Monday to Friday: 0830 - 1930

Please feel free to contact me to discuss current options and whether working together might feel like a good fit.

Welcome, I’m George.

I am a relational counsellor and psychotherapist, and I offer a warm, reflective space where we can explore what has brought you to therapy with curiosity and compassion. I work online and in person in Central London / Camden / Euston. 

With years of experience working with individuals to overcome a wide range of difficulties, I am committed to supporting you in processing and managing your emotions, feelings and thoughts. 

After many years in pastoral and mental health work, I was inspired to train as a therapist. My goal is to help you gain a deeper understanding of your underlying difficulties, provide support and help you release emotional burdens you have been carrying.

I have worked with people from a wide range of backgrounds, cultures, and identities, and am experienced in:

Anxiety and panic attacks

Depression and low mood

Suicidal thoughts and ideation

Stress and burnout

Trauma and attachment difficulties

Loss and bereavement

Identity, difference, and belonging

Neurodiversity (ADHD and autism)

Questions of meaning, purpose, and connection

LGBTQ+

My approach

I believe that the key to successful therapy is a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, compatibility & collaboration.

My primary aim is to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and any emotional distress you may be experiencing. While beginning therapy can feel daunting, the potential it holds is profound.

My work involves exploring your lived-experience, relationships, and past. Through this process, we may begin to understand behaviours and patterns of relating that may no longer serve you, which can support greater freedom & authenticity, and self-acceptance.

I am experienced in working across cultures and social contexts. While attachment and relational-based therapy sit at the heart of my practice, I also hold an interest in pluralistic and existential thinking, valuing intersectionality and the richness of difference as central to therapeutic understanding.

Ways of working & training

I offer open-ended and short-term counselling, depending on your needs and circumstances. I work in person in Central London, and I also offer online therapy.

The therapy space is level-access and accessible.

Alongside my clinical practice, I am a trainee at the Bowlby Centre, training in attachment-based psychoanalytic psychotherapy.

For clients who would like to work psychoanalytically, I am able to offer therapy at a frequency of twice weekly. As this work forms part of my ongoing training, a reduced fee can be discussed where appropriate.

If you are unsure what you may want or need, an initial conversation is often a good way to begin.

Concessionary Rates

I believe in inclusive practice, and where possible, offer concessionary rates for those who may otherwise find therapy financially inaccessible.

Registrations

I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) and UKCP (United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy). As such, I am fully insured and bound by their professional Code of Ethics.

To ensure that we are a good match, I offer a free introductory phone call. This allows us to connect and get to know each other a little before deciding whether to move forward with therapy. If you feel ready, we can schedule your first session.

The first session is an opportunity to talk about what has brought you to therapy and to begin getting a sense of whether working together feels right for you.  I’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have. Above all, my priority is to create a safe, relaxed space where you can freely explore your thoughts and emotions.
