About Dimitrios

Dimitrios Charizanis is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS with 13 years of experience in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns, and lists social anxiety and phobia among his focus areas. He also supports clients dealing with addictions, trauma, sleeping problems and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

Dimitrios uses a conversational, client-centred style in sessions. He listens and helps people talk through what matters to them. Sessions aim to clarify patterns that cause distress and identify practical steps a person can try between meetings.

He draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current feelings and relationships. He also uses existential perspectives to examine meaning, values and choices when people feel stuck or unsure about life direction.

The work often involves looking at relationships and attachment, and at how guilt, shame or prejudice can affect daily life. Dimitrios lists additional focus areas such as BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, and immigration issues, and he can work through practical problems linked to divorce, career and bereavement.

Sessions are offered in English and Greek. Dimitrios accepts clients from the UK and international enquiries. He uses a subscription model for sessions which can be cancelled at any time and asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before booking.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs space to talk things through and decide on next steps at their own pace.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that come from past relationships and experiences. It can be useful for understanding recurring emotional responses, attachment issues and difficulties in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is something to work out together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt the way sessions are run so they suit the person's needs.

The biography does not specify which online formats Dimitrios uses, so please confirm session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel to an appointment. Registered or accredited professionals can offer ways of working that fit around daytime commitments, quieter surroundings and different levels of camera use.
