Cynthia Gentle

Cynthia Gentle is a counsellor who helps people facing a wide range of emotional challenges. She supports those dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief and depression, and offers focused help for people coping with narcissism-related issues. Cynthia uses straightforward conversation to help people make sense of what they are feeling and decide on practical next steps.

She tends to work from the person's own experience and background. That includes looking at attachment history and how cultural identity shapes self-worth. Cynthia uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to guide sessions. These are used to help with feelings, thought patterns and relationship difficulties.

Cynthia aims for a calm, clear style in sessions. She listens first, then helps people find small, manageable changes they can try between meetings. Work might include practising new ways of responding to stress, building routines for sleep and eating, or learning skills for managing unhelpful thoughts.

She has five years of experience in counselling and holds BACP accreditation. That means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which supports professional standards in the UK.

Cynthia speaks English and Shona. She is based in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. To begin, people use the site Start Therapy flow to match with her and schedule sessions according to her availability.

How Cynthia’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take action that matters to them. It can support work on anxiety, depression and patterns that feel limiting. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship history and how early bonds shape current responses to closeness and abandonment. It can be useful for intimacy issues and for people recovering from relationship harm.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. Cynthia will listen to what you want to change and discuss which methods might suit your goals and preferences. Together you can try an approach and adjust it if something does not feel like a good fit.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to keep momentum between meetings. It can reduce travel time and help people join sessions from different locations, which is helpful for international clients. Specific session formats are not stated in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals aim to use online work to support practical goal-setting, thought work, emotional processing and building healthier relationship habits.
