George Hamilton, BACP, NCPS

George blends the Gottman Method, psychodynamic therapy and solution-focused techniques so online sessions can cover both relationship patterns and practical change. The Gottman Method focuses on relationship interactions and communication skills, useful for people wanting clearer ways to talk and reconnect. Psychodynamic therapy looks at past patterns and how they influence current feelings and choices, which can help when long-standing hurts or repeated cycles come up. Solution-Focused Therapy aims to identify concrete goals and small steps to move forward, useful when you want quick, practical strategies.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs and goals and together you'll choose which methods to try. That collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to the issues you bring and the pace you prefer.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins or immediate reflection, and messaging lets you write down thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family commitments while keeping the focus on progress and practical support.
