About Georgios

Georgios Drakos is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with seven years' experience in mental health based in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, addiction and stress, and with those navigating sexuality and LGBT concerns. He also supports people dealing with career pressure and compassion fatigue.

He often helps people who are coping with loss and trauma, and addresses intimacy-related and eating issues. Additional areas Georgios focuses on include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency and communication problems. He has worked with people affected by first responder stress and fatherhood-related concerns.

Georgios uses an integrative approach, drawing on Attachment-Based methods, Client-Centred work, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and elements of Existential Therapy and hypnotherapy. In practice he mixes tools from different approaches and adapts them to what someone needs in the room. Sessions can be short term or longer term depending on the goals.

His background includes helpline and crisis work, and he has experience offering one-off sessions alongside ongoing therapy. Georgios describes human behaviour through relationships and family systems, and he treats people with respect and clear communication. He aims to help clients talk through feelings, notice patterns and take practical steps that fit their lives.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Payments use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and international clients can be accommodated. Sessions are offered in English and Greek.

How his approaches work online

Georgios often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and patterns. This approach can help when guilt or shame feels tied to how someone connects with others. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical steps to test and change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. Georgios will talk through what matters to the client, try some methods and adapt based on what helps most. He treats the selection of techniques as collaborative and responsive to the person's goals and preferences.

Confirm the session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family life, and they can allow shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day. If a client prefers different pacing or methods, those practical details can be discussed when arranging the first appointment.
