About George

George Hamilton works with people on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief and low self-esteem using a mix of approaches he finds helpful in each case. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as MBACP (Accred), and also holds NCPS. He has seven years of professional experience in the UK.

George uses practical conversation to identify what feels most pressing. Sessions often focus on improving communication, resolving intimacy concerns, and handling difficult life events such as separation or bereavement. He also addresses trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue and issues around shame and guilt.

He combines the Gottman Method, psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused techniques. That means some sessions look at current patterns and practical steps to change them, while others consider deeper personal histories that shape feelings and relationships. He chooses methods with the client after an initial discussion.

People come to him for help with attachment worries, infidelity, divorce and domestic violence concerns, or a sense of emptiness and searching for life purpose. He also supports those facing prejudice or discrimination and those wanting to develop more self-love and forgiveness.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented when needed. George aims to help people clarify what they want to change and to work steadily towards those goals over time. To begin, clients are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.

Approaches used in online counselling and how sessions work

George uses the Gottman Method, psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused work in his practice. The Gottman Method focuses on relationship patterns and practical skills for improving communication and managing conflict, useful where intimacy or trust are concerns.

Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past experiences and attachment patterns influence present feelings and choices, which can help with grief, shame, trauma and long-standing relationship difficulties. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on identifying small, achievable steps and building on what already works, making it useful for stress, motivation and clearer short-term goals.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will discuss the options with the client and agree together what to try first, adapting the plan as needs and goals become clearer. This is a collaborative process and may combine methods over time.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people join from different locations, which can help those living overseas who wish to work with a UK-based counsellor.
