专业经历

Georgiana is an integrative psychotherapist with extensive experience working with individuals and couples. Although originally trained in the psychodynamic model, she weaves alternative theoretical approaches into the work depending on the client. Georgiana offers a safe and confidential setting where clients can talk about difficult emotional issues which may be preventing them from getting the most out of their life.

Georgiana Boothby is an integrative psychotherapist at Harbor with experience working with individuals and couples. She helps people with a wide range of emotional and relationship difficulties, from anxiety and depression to addiction and loss.

She trained first in psychodynamic therapy and now draws on other approaches as each client needs.

Professional Background & Qualifications

Georgiana holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychodynamic Studies and an Advanced Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling from WPF Counselling and Psychotherapy.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Her further training includes cognitive behavioural therapy, attachment theory and unconscious behavioural patterns.

Healthcare Leadership & Experience

Georgiana works with individual clients and with couples. Her clients come to her with issues including low self-esteem and confidence, anger, depression, stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, work-related problems, and drug and alcohol addiction. She also helps people through loss, whether through bereavement, divorce or redundancy.

Georgiana speaks English, Spanish and Italian, and has a working knowledge of French.

Approach to Care

Georgiana works collaboratively, and therapy with her offers a confidential space to talk about things that may be hard to say elsewhere. 

Her psychodynamic training means she pays attention to unconscious patterns, often formed early in life, while her CBT training gives her practical tools for when a client needs them.

At Harbor, she adapts her approach to each client, whether they come on their own or as a couple.
