About Jimi
Counsellor and member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Jimi Dimitrios Katsis has 25 years of experience helping people in the United Kingdom with anxiety, depression, trauma and related concerns. He describes a practical, down-to-earth way of working and aims to make first steps feel manageable for people who have been putting them off.
Jimi focuses on what is happening now and how past experiences have shaped current patterns. He listens for the everyday pressures that wear people down. Sessions are straightforward and conversational. He uses a mix of approaches to help people spot unhelpful patterns and try different ways of coping.
Over his career he has worked with a wide range of issues. These include stress, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting strains, bipolar and ADHD, and the effects of trauma, abuse and abandonment. He also notes experience with topics such as adoption and foster care, codependency, communication problems and dissociation.
His practice draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and client-centred work. In sessions he aims to balance practical skills with space to talk through feelings and life history, and he offers gentle challenge where that helps progress.
Sessions are offered in English and Jimi accepts international clients. Practical details such as how sessions are arranged and the cost vary by location; the subscription model used can be cancelled at any time.

How Jimi uses evidence-based approaches in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then focus on actions that matter to them. It often suits people coping with anxiety, low mood or life transitions who want clearer steps to move forward.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It offers practical techniques to test unhelpful beliefs and try new responses, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and stress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for regulating intense emotions and for tolerating distress. These techniques can help with anger, relationship problems and strong mood swings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jimi will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and decide together which methods to use. That collaborative process means the plan can change as needs become clearer.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats here. Online working can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks, or reducing camera use where that helps someone engage. Registered or accredited professionals often offer these practical benefits when they provide remote sessions.
