Georgina Buchanan is a qualified counsellor with a strong focus on trauma counselling, adolescent development, and mediation. Her counselling practice is at the heart of her professional identity, providing psychological support to individuals affected by systemic challenges—with personal experienced in underserved communities across South Africa. She collaborates closely with police stations, community organisations, and social services to ensure victims of trauma receive accessible, compassionate care. Georgina has further completed her international yoga teacher training, for adults as well as children, specialising in bringing a therapeutic approach to the practice.

Georgina’s counselling qualifications were obtained through the South African College of Applied Psychology (SACAP), where she trained in Counselling, Communication Skills, and Process Development. Her therapeutic work is informed by practical, front-line experience and guided by an informed, client-centred approach.

In parallel, Georgina holds a Bachelor of Laws (with Honours) from the University of Cape Town and has appeared as an Advocate in the High Court, Supreme Court of Appeal, and Constitutional Court of South Africa. Her legal experience, combined with her training in Organizational Conflict Resolution from Harvard University in Boston, Massachusetts, brings added depth to her mediation and conflict management work, particularly in cases involving vulnerable individuals and families.

Throughout her career, Georgina has founded and led initiatives that combine legal advocacy with psychological care. She has developed and implemented counselling interventions tailored for victims of crime and youth in high-risk environments, while also designing outreach campaigns that leverage technology and communication to increase mental health access and awareness.

With a deep belief in the transformative power of integrated care, Georgina continues to develop her counselling practice around empathy, evidence-based methodologies, and family engagement. Her cross-disciplinary perspective allows her to offer holistic support to her clients while driving broader systemic change in the mental health and justice sectors.
