About Georgia

Dr. Georgia Chatzitheodorou is a Chartered Counselling Psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has six years of clinical experience and works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, grief, parenting and ADHD.

She trained at City, University of London where she completed a professional doctorate in counselling psychology, and earlier studied clinical mental health at University College London. Her background includes work in the UK health service and third-sector organisations, providing assessment and psychological interventions for adults with varied concerns.

Georgia draws on a range of evidence-based approaches and tailors them to the person in front of her. Sessions can include practical skills from cognitive behavioural work, noticing patterns in attachment, and exercises from acceptance and mindfulness-based methods. She encourages people to notice how thoughts, feelings and behaviour interact so they can try different responses.

People who come to see her for shame or guilt often look at recurring patterns in relationships and how early attachments shape present reactions. She also supports those facing life transitions such as parenting, career change or the impact of illness and caregiving responsibilities.

Sessions are offered in English. International clients are accepted. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online booking flow.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about noticing thoughts and feelings and deciding what matters enough to act on. It can help with anxiety, guilt and getting unstuck from rigid patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people try new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss which methods might suit a person's goals and preferences and then try them out together. Sessions are collaborative and can be adjusted as the work unfolds.

The original biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and caregiving demands and can reduce travel time. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed and mean people do not always need to be on camera for every meeting. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical arrangements when you book so you know what to expect.
