Kevin George speaking Writers Solidarity. Rome, Italy
Who Kevin works with
Kevin George works with individuals, families, schools, prisons, companies and professional football clubs, specialising in those who do not engage with traditional mental health provision. His clients range from Premier League academies and global corporations to young men in London who have never sat in a therapy room before, united by the need for a therapist who understands their world from the inside.
He offers therapy and clinical support for individuals, young people, athletes and families, mental health training and consultancy for organisations and clubs, psychoeducation for disengaged boys and young men, and keynote speaking across sport, education and corporate sectors.
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.
Kevin George has completed the ACGP accredited Effective Board Member's Governance course.
