About Dimitrios
BACP, NCPS. 13 years' experience. Dimitrios Charizanis works with people on a range of emotional and relationship concerns including anxiety, depression, grief and issues linked to sexual identity and intimacy. He also supports people facing addictions, trauma, sleep problems, anger and difficulties with self-esteem and life direction.
Dimitrios uses a primarily client-centred stance to listening and conversation. He draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat across relationships, and existential perspectives to help people consider meaning, choice and responsibility. Sessions focus on talking through what is happening now while noticing recurring feelings and patterns.
In practice he aims for straightforward, non-judgemental conversation during a series of sessions. People can expect eye-to-eye discussion about current problems, feelings and practical ways to try things differently between meetings. The emphasis is on helping people make clearer choices and manage day-to-day difficulties.
He has worked in a variety of settings over 13 years and brings that experience to meetings with clients in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and Greek, and he accepts international clients.
Costs vary with location and sessions operate through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on attentive, non-directive listening and supporting a person to speak freely about what matters to them; it helps with feelings like anxiety, low mood and self-doubt. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at repeated relationship patterns and unconscious feelings that influence current behaviour; it can be useful for people wanting to understand recurring difficulties. Existential Therapy helps people consider meaning, choice and responsibility in life and can be helpful for those facing big life changes or questions about purpose.Finding the right way of working is part of the counselling process. He will work collaboratively with each person to decide which approach or mix of approaches fits their needs, goals and preferences. Initial meetings are used to clarify what the person wants to achieve and to agree how to proceed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed and offering choices about whether to use video, audio or other arrangements depending on what suits the person. Registered or accredited professionals offering remote counselling often find these practical arrangements help people maintain regular contact without large changes to routines.
