About Me
If you've found your way here, there's a good chance something has been feeling off. You might be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck or a bit disconnected from yourself. And you're looking for someone who will really listen, help you make sense of what's going on, and support you to make lasting changes.
That's where I come in.
I’m Georgina Sturmer, an accredited member of the BACP, an attachment-based counsellor, and a clinical supervisor. I offer online therapy for women and couples across the UK, helping people navigate anxiety, relationship challenges, loss and life transitions. I absolutely love what I do.
My focus is on helping you understand the patterns that shape how you feel, think and relate - so you can reconnect with your confidence, feel more grounded and less anxious, and move through life with more clarity and resilience.
My approach is warm, compassionate and grounded in attachment theory. I offer a space where you can talk openly without judgement. Together, we’ll explore what’s happening beneath the surface, how past experiences may still be influencing you today, and what needs to shift so you can move forward.
Clients often describe me as warm, supportive and relatable. I’ve experienced therapy myself, so I understand what it takes to reach out, and how transformative it can be to feel genuinely heard.
As you look through my website, I hope you get a clear sense of who I am and how I work. If you're curious about whether we might be a good fit, you’re welcome to book a free introductory chat.


My Approach
There's a lot of research about what makes counselling helpful. Time and time again, studies point to the same powerful conclusion: the 'magic ingredient' isn't the specific method or technique. It's the relationship you build with your counsellor. It's finding a counsellor you connect with. Someone you genuinely like and trust.
When you feel safe, supported and understood, you're more likely to open up, reflect deeply, explore emotions, and make meaningful changes.
I'm an integrative counsellor, and my work is rooted in attachment theory. This means I pay close attention to your emotional world, your relationships and the patterns you learned early on — the ones that still quietly shape how you react, cope and connect today. We work with what’s happening in the moment, as well as the experiences that may be echoing underneath.
I won’t tell you what to do, but I won’t sit silently either. I’m an active, engaged therapist. I’ll offer questions, reflections and — where helpful — practical tools to support you in everyday life. We’ll work collaboratively at your pace, in a way that feels thoughtful, grounded and genuinely useful.
Therapy isn’t simply a place to talk. It’s a space to understand yourself more clearly, shift long-held patterns, build emotional resilience and create changes that last beyond the session.
Many clients find that our conversations help them navigate their week differently — feeling calmer, clearer and more connected to themselves and the people around them.
Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, relationship difficulties, past trauma, or a sense of feeling stuck, I’ll meet you where you are. My aim is to help you feel steadier inside, with more space to breathe and more confidence to move forward.
