Georgie Hodgson (my pronouns are she/her)

I'm BACP registered counsellor and psychotherapist working in Leeds and online. 

Deciding to come to therapy can feel like a really daunting task. My aim is to make the experience as stress-free as possible, helping you to feel less alone in your experience. I provide a non-judgmental, accepting, safe space for you to explore any issues and challenges you might be facing in life. You will determine the content and pace of each session, and share only what you feel comfortable with. 

I work relationally, meaning I believe the success of therapy relies on having a strong and affirming therapeutic relationship with my clients. It is therefore really important that you feel comfortable with me as your therapist. I offer a free phone consultation, to see if we 'click' on a personal level.

We are all individuals, and as such have different needs. If you choose to work with me, we will work collaboratively to find the best approach to suit you. I carry a range of therapeutic approaches in my 'toolkit'. These include:

Person-centred, Psychodynamic, Existential, CBT, Somatic/body work, Inner Child work. 

Prior to starting my own private practice, I worked as a counsellor for Cruse Bereavement (the UK's largest Bereavement charity) and at Phoenix Health and Wellbeing in Leeds city centre, providing accessible psychotherapy to low-income clients.
