About Cynthia

Cynthia Gentle is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship worries and grief. She also supports those dealing with sleep or eating problems, anger, low self-esteem, career pressures, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Cynthia works in English and Shona and practises from the United Kingdom.

She focuses on understanding a person’s sense of self and cultural identity. That helps with issues such as narcissistic abuse recovery, discrimination, HIV/AIDS concerns, miscarriage and perinatal mental health.

Background and approach

Cynthia pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and reactions. Her style is straightforward and client-centred. Sessions emphasise listening, reflection and practical ways to test new behaviours between meetings.

She uses approaches that help people notice thoughts, accept difficult feelings and take meaningful action. Cynthia draws on evidence-informed methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, alongside attachment-based and client-centred work. She tailors techniques to each person’s situation.

This may mean exploring values, practising coping skills or working on relationship patterns. People can expect a collaborative pace that balances emotional processing with real-life steps. Cynthia brings five years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

She offers online sessions and supports people internationally when that suits their needs.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without fighting them, then take values-driven actions. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress and patterns that get in the way of living the life someone values.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviours. This approach often helps with anxiety, mood problems, sleep and certain habit changes.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then shape sessions together. That means techniques can shift over time as progress is made or new issues emerge.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or who cannot attend in person. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
