About Georgios
Counsellor Georgios Drakos is a BACP member with seven years' experience working in the United Kingdom. He sees people for relationship problems, anxiety and depression, grief and loss, addictions, self-esteem and work-related stress. Sessions are offered in English and Greek and he accepts international clients.
Georgios uses an integrative approach. He draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques to help people make sense of difficulties. In practice this means he listens to a person's experience and then works with them on practical steps or ways of thinking that feel useful.
He has experience in short-term and longer-term work, and has provided single-session support on helplines and in crisis services. That background shapes how he responds to high-distress moments and to problems that have built up over time.
In sessions he focuses on how relationships and family systems shape feelings and behaviour. He pays attention to issues such as abandonment, attachment, communication and intimacy. He also works with concerns including burnout, compassion fatigue and first responder issues.
People can expect a straightforward, respectful conversation aimed at understanding what matters to them. Georgios will help identify goals and practical steps, whether the priority is relief from symptoms or deeper insight. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange an initial session.
Approaches used in online counselling and how they help
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and close relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. It can help when trust, closeness or abandonment are central worries. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's own experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens and reflects so the person can clarify what matters and make decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and uses straightforward exercises to reduce unhelpful patterns.Working out which approach fits best is part of the work. Georgios will discuss goals and preferences with each person and then use techniques from these approaches in a collaborative way. That means the plan can change as needs become clearer.
This profile does not state specific session formats, so please confirm options before booking. Many people find online appointments easier to fit around work or family because they avoid travel. Other practical advantages include shorter check-ins when time is limited, not needing to be on camera, and being able to schedule sessions at times that suit daily life. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques used in clinic to remote conversations so therapy can focus on practical steps and reflection regardless of location.
