About Cynthia
Cynthia Gentle helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and relationship struggles. She supports those dealing with grief, depression, trauma and intimacy concerns. Cynthia also assists with sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem and career pressures.
She speaks English and Shona and works with clients across the United Kingdom and internationally. Cynthia uses straightforward, practical talking therapy. She focuses on how a person's sense of self and cultural identity affect daily life.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and aim to make things clearer rather than more confusing. She brings five years of experience to each meeting and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. Her approach draws on a mix of therapies that help people notice thoughts, choose valued actions and repair difficult attachment patterns.
That means helping someone reduce unhelpful thinking, rebuild trust in relationships and make small changes that matter. Cynthia pays attention to issues like abandonment, domestic violence, infidelity and discrimination when these show up. People also turn to her for support with perinatal mental health, miscarriage, HIV and AIDS related concerns, and seasonal mood changes.
She works with clients who face loneliness, hoarding behaviours, jealousy, or guilt and shame. The emphasis is on practical next steps and clearer thinking. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.
New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions to suit their availability.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cynthia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, giving flexibility for different days and routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people write between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel, while keeping the focus on practical change and better day-to-day coping.
