About Jimi
Jimi Dimitrios Katsis is a BACP-registered counsellor with 25 years' experience. He works with people who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma and related concerns, and with those who feel depleted while keeping a composed exterior.
He writes simply and directly in sessions. He pays attention to the practical patterns that make day-to-day life harder. Conversations focus on the things that repeat, and on small changes that can reduce stress and anxiety. He balances listening with gentle challenge when needed.
Jimi draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. He also uses Client-Centred and Emotionally-Focused ideas to help people speak about painful experiences and emotions. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are used where intense emotions and regulation are an issue.
He commonly helps with a wide range of concerns such as self-esteem, relationships, grief, parenting strain, addiction, work and career stress, ADHD and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include abandonment, adoption and foster care experiences, communication and control issues, and intimacy-related matters including kink and alternative sex culture.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. Jimi invites people to talk about what’s not working, look at what keeps it going, and practise small, manageable changes. He offers an initial informal conversation to see if it feels like a good fit before committing to regular work.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Jimi uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice thoughts and sensations without getting pulled into them, then choose actions that reflect their values. ACT is often useful for ongoing anxiety and for making decisions that matter rather than avoiding difficult feelings.He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to practise alternative responses. CBT can be helpful for social anxiety, phobic avoidance and stress related to work or relationships.
Finding the right approach is something to work out together. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That choice is reviewed over time and adjusted according to how the work is progressing.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because none are specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caregiving, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to use video when they want face contact, or choose audio-only for lower bandwidth or a quicker session.
