About Georgios
Counsellor and BACP member Georgios Nikolaou has six years' experience working with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns. He also helps people facing grief, career issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy problems and sleeping difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients.
Georgios describes his approach as integrative with humanistic roots. He places the therapeutic relationship at the centre and focuses on genuineness and respectful listening. In practice this means time is given to build rapport and to understand what matters most to each person.
He uses a mix of methods including client-centred ways of working, cognitive behavioural ideas, psychodynamic reflection and solution-focused steps. That means conversations can look at current thinking and behaviour, past patterns, and short-term practical goals.
Work with him commonly covers topics such as attachment and abandonment, family of origin issues, communication problems, caregiver stress, and the effects of divorce or separation. He also mentions experience with first responders and related pressures.
Sessions aim to identify strengths, recognise patterns and build coping skills. Georgios says he supports people to increase awareness, improve communication and build confidence. To begin he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange an initial session.
How his approach translates to online counselling
Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps when someone wants to be heard and to make sense of feelings and relationships. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It is useful for stress, anxiety, sleep problems and unhelpful patterns of behaviour.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Georgios aims to agree with each person which elements to use. He will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and adapt the way he works accordingly.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. People often find remote counselling easier to fit into a day, reduces travel time, and can make shorter check-ins possible. It can also be useful when exploring things that need regular sessions without requiring travel to a clinic.
