Cynthia Gentle , BACP

Cynthia Gentle helps people deepen self-understanding and navigate stages of personal development, with a particular focus on how cultural identity and self-worth shape overall wellbeing. She approaches therapy as a developmental process, guiding individuals to explore patterns that influence relationships, sense of self, and emotional resilience.

Her areas of work include recovery from narcissistic abuse, support for depression, and assistance addressing discrimination and HIV/AIDS related concerns. She also provides care for those experiencing miscarriage, perinatal mental health challenges, and seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Cynthia integrates attention to identity and empowerment into each therapeutic conversation to support lasting change.

Cynthia holds BACP which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional membership that reflects her commitment to established counselling standards. She frames therapy as a collaborative journey focused on helping people reclaim agency, make sense of difficult experiences, and strengthen their capacity for self-compassion and connection.

Online Therapy Grounded in Attachment and Values-Based Work

Cynthia often draws on attachment-based therapy to explore how early relationship patterns continue to shape current connections, helping clients address abandonment, intimacy, and relationship difficulties. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support people in accepting difficult emotions while identifying personal values and taking meaningful action - an approach useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. When appropriate, client-centered techniques provide a warm, non-directive space where clients lead the pace of exploration and build self-worth and empowerment.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cynthia collaborates with each person to consider their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts methods over time so the therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, allow support across distances, and provide multiple ways to engage so people can choose the mode that feels most comfortable for them.
