MSc., RMFT, RCC

George has been a practicing professional therapist since 1993.  He is warm, non-judgemental, encouraging and patient. He takes efforts to create a comfortable, inviting atmosphere of safety and security, an environment in which individuals and couples can begin to share, discuss and recover from painful and difficult life experiences and challenges.  George believes that a strong, supportive counselling relationship is the foundation in which people can develop greater understanding of their problems.  From this foundation, George focuses on helping people improve their current situation, reclaiming emotional and relational wellness, and move towards finding practical solutions to problems.
