Who Kevin works with
Kevin George works with professional footballers and clubs, corporate organisations, schools, prisons and individuals who do not engage in traditional mental health provision. His clients range from Premier League academies and global corporations to young men in south London who have never sat in a therapy room before. What they share is a need for an innovative clinician who understands their world from the inside.
What makes this different
Most mental health professionals understand the theory. Very few have lived the reality. Kevin George grew up navigating adversity in south London, played professional football at the highest level, and has spent the last 15 years as a personal and professional development trainer, and practising clinician. That combination of experience is what makes his work land in rooms where traditional approaches fail.
What Kevin offers
Therapy and clinical support for individuals, young people, athletes, and families. Mental health training and consultancy for organisations and football clubs. Psychoeducation programmes for boys and young men disengaged from traditional services. Keynote speaking and guest lecturing across sport, education, and corporate sectors.
