About Panayiotis
HCPC. 20 years' experience. Dr. Panayiotis Papahristopoulos works from the United Kingdom and offers counselling in English and Greek. He helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting and family conflict, trauma and abuse, and related issues such as anger, self-esteem and career challenges.
Dr Panayiotis draws on an integrative approach. He uses cognitive behavioural therapy alongside psychodynamic and systemic ideas, adapting discussion and techniques to what an individual needs. Sessions focus on clear problems and practical steps as well as understanding patterns that repeat across relationships.
People come to him for a range of concerns including adoption and foster care matters, blended family issues, caregiver stress, immigration difficulties, infidelity, jealousy and multicultural issues. He also works with mood disorders, obsessive compulsive behaviours and some disruptive mood dysregulation themes.
In practice he aims for direct conversation about what is happening now and what can change. Sessions include talking through current problems, identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes. He balances short-term strategies with looking at deeper patterns that influence feelings and relationships.
Dr Panayiotis has two decades of clinical work behind him. He asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and to schedule a first session when ready. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Dr Panayiotis works with evidence-based techniques in straightforward ways. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety, low mood and stress. Psychodynamic ideas involve looking at recurring patterns in relationships and how early experiences can shape reactions today, which can help with intimacy and family issues. Systemic thinking pays attention to roles and patterns within families and other groups, useful for blended family and caregiving stresses.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as sessions progress, so the plan can shift if something is not helping. That collaborative decision-making is central to how he frames treatment.
Confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue with counselling when relocation or other life changes make face-to-face meetings harder. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical options and help match a format to personal circumstances.
