Who I work with

You don't need a diagnosis, or a single big incident, to get in touch. Many people come after years of exposure, or after one call that won't leave them.

Police officers and staff

Serving, retired and on restricted duties, on the front line or in the control room.

Ambulance, fire and rescue

For crews and call handlers who carry the aftermath of what they attend, and rarely get time to put it down.

Armed forces and veterans

Serving and former personnel are welcome. If your difficulties are combat-related, we talk through the right approach first.

What people often bring

A call that keeps replaying Poor sleep and nightmares Feeling numb or short-tempered Drinking more than you'd like Restricted duties or investigations Leaving the job or the forces

Counselling

A steady place to talk through what has happened and what it has left behind, at your pace. Nothing is rushed, and you decide what we cover. My approach is pluralistic, so I draw on different ways of working to suit you. I'll listen to you fully, and together we'll find the best way forward.

EMDR

EMDR is a structured, trauma-focused therapy. NICE recommends it for adults with PTSD after non-combat trauma. It isn't right for everyone, so we decide together, and we always prepare properly first.

Fees and booking details

Private, and separate from your employer

I'm an independent counsellor. I'm not part of your force or service, and I don't tell your employer or colleagues that you've been in touch.

The limits are few and I explain them at the start: serious risk of harm to you or someone else, and rare situations where the law requires it.

Georgia Powell, BACP Accredited counsellor and psychotherapist

Hello, I'm Georgia

I'm a BACP Accredited counsellor and psychotherapist. I trained at the University of Sussex, I've practised since 2003, and I supervise other counsellors. I work online with people from the blue light and forces community.

I'm trained in EMDR (standard training, EMDR Europe-accredited, completed October 2026), and I offer counselling where EMDR isn't the right fit.
