About Georgios
BACP. 7 years' experience. Georgios Drakos works in the United Kingdom and offers counselling in English and Greek. He helps people with relationship difficulties, grief and loss, anxiety, depression and issues around self‑esteem and motivation.
Georgios uses an integrative approach that draws on several therapies. He blends ideas from attachment work, client‑centred principles and cognitive behavioural techniques to address practical problems and longstanding patterns. He also uses existential ideas and hypnotherapy techniques where they may be helpful.
Sessions often focus on everyday difficulties such as work stress, coping with life changes and problems with intimacy. Georgios also supports people facing addiction, family problems, trauma and abuse, and those dealing with issues linked to sexuality and LGBT concerns. He lists further interests including attachment and abandonment issues, body image and communication problems.
He has worked in varied settings over seven years, including helplines and crisis services, and with short‑term and longer‑term clients. That mix of experience informs his practical focus on what can be changed now and what might take longer to work through.
Georgios describes a collaborative style. He aims to help people identify goals and try different techniques to manage symptoms, understand patterns and improve relationships. To begin he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session.
How Georgios uses theory in online counselling
Attachment‑based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when difficulties repeat in adult relationships or when people feel easily hurt or abandoned. Client‑centred methods focus on listening and reflecting back what someone says. This approach helps people explore feelings, build self‑understanding and decide what they want to change. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviours. It is practical and often used for anxiety, low mood and stress to try new ways of coping. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Georgios will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods might fit best. That decision is collaborative and may change as sessions progress. Please confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list explicit formats. Online work can make scheduling easier and is often helpful for fitting counselling around work, family and travel. It can also allow shorter check‑in conversations when time is limited or reduce the need to be on camera if that helps someone stay focused on the work. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these options, so check the specific formats Georgios provides when you arrange a first session.Areas of expertise
