About George

George Hamilton is a counsellor and therapist who uses the Gottman Method alongside other talking therapies. He offers clear, straightforward support for people feeling stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected.

Background and approach

George keeps sessions practical and focused so people can make steady progress between meetings. He has seven years of professional experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials.

George draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat across life. He also uses solution-focused techniques to identify small, achievable steps forward.

Sessions often begin by talking about what matters most and what the person hopes to change. George helps clients untangle relationship stress, anxiety and low self-esteem through direct conversation and practical exercises.

He also supports people coping with grief, trauma, compassion fatigue and issues around intimacy. When relationship concerns appear, he applies Gottman Method ideas to strengthen communication and reduce repeated conflict.

He works with attachment and communication problems, infidelity, separation and the effects of domestic violence in a measured way. The focus stays on concrete change rather than jargon.

People can expect a respectful, warm and steady approach. George encourages realistic goals and checks progress regularly.

He invites clients to try different ways of working until a practical fit is found.

Approaches online and how they can help

George draws on the Gottman Method to help people improve communication, manage conflict and rebuild connection. The Gottman approach is practical and focuses on interaction patterns that can be changed in everyday life. Psychodynamic Therapy is used to notice repeating patterns and understand how past experiences shape current feelings and relationships; this can help when worries keep returning without an obvious cause.

Choosing the right approach is a shared task. George will talk through goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will decide whether to try Gottman-style exercises, shorter solution-focused steps or a deeper psychodynamic exploration as the conversation progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit brief updates, written reflection or flexible contact between calls, making therapy easier to fit around work and family commitments.
