About Cynthia
Cynthia Gentle is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She supports adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, addictions and relationship strain. She also helps with grief, depression, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns and issues around self-esteem and career.
Cynthia pays close attention to cultural identity and how it shapes self-worth. She works with people who are recovering from narcissistic abuse and those navigating discrimination or HIV/AIDS related concerns. She also supports people dealing with pregnancy loss, perinatal mental health and seasonal affective disorder.
Her sessions aim to improve self-understanding and to look at how past development affects present reactions. Conversations are down-to-earth and focused on practical steps. She makes space to talk through difficult feelings and recurring patterns that fuel anger and resentment.
Cynthia draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and make values-based choices. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships influence current connections. Client-Centred principles guide the way she listens and responds.
She offers help in English and Shona and accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
Therapy approaches and how online work can help
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps people spot patterns that increase stress, anxiety or anger and try practical experiments that change behaviour and mood.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines mindfulness with values-based action. It supports people to notice difficult feelings such as frustration or shame, and to make choices that match what matters to them rather than automatic reactions.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and reacting. It can be useful for people who notice repeated patterns in relationships, including sensitivity to rejection or difficulties with intimacy.
Finding which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how different methods might help, and then adapt the focus as those needs become clearer. That collaboration continues as sessions progress.
The biography does not state which remote session formats are used, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require a camera, which can help with quick reviews or when someone prefers a lower-tech option.
