About Georgios

Georgios Drakos works on relationship difficulties, grief and loss, self-esteem, anxiety, depression and life changes using a mix of approaches that he adapts to each person. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years of experience in mental health work.

Georgios draws on several therapeutic models rather than a single method. He combines client-centred listening with cognitive-behavioural techniques and attachment ideas to help people understand patterns in relationships and emotional responses. He also uses existential perspectives to look at meaning and choice, and hypnotherapy where it fits the client's goals.

He has worked across different settings, including helplines and crisis services, and has experience with short-term and longer-term work. That range means he is used to immediate practical concerns as well as deeper, ongoing issues. Typical concerns he sees include addictions, compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, intimacy and sexual identity questions, and work-life balance.

In sessions he focuses on exploring how past relationships and family systems shape current feelings and behaviour. He aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns, consider alternatives, and practice different ways of relating. He supports people who are coping with loss, persistent low mood, stress and anxious thinking.

Georgios offers therapy in English and Greek and works with international clients as well as people based in the United Kingdom. He asks people to complete an initial matching questionnaire and then book a first session to begin the work.

How his approaches are used in online counselling

Georgios commonly combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment-based ideas. Client-centred counselling focuses on active listening and helping the person find their own answers, which can suit conversations about self-esteem and life direction. Cognitive behavioural work looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers practical strategies for anxiety, stress and mood change. Attachment-based methods examine patterns from early relationships and how they affect current intimacy and communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. He works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's goals and preferences, and may adapt the mix as therapy progresses. The first sessions often include a discussion about what feels most useful and realistic for the client's situation.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day. It can also let people continue with therapy when they are living abroad or need to attend from different locations.
