About Georgios

Georgios Bligouras is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship worries, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and related concerns including social anxiety and phobia. He speaks English and Greek and accepts international clients.

He adopts a person-centred stance, which means conversations focus on what matters to the individual. That approach aims to help people notice their feelings and make choices that feel more authentic. He also uses solution-focused and emotionally-focused ideas to help people address specific problems and improve close relationships.

Sessions are practical and straightforward. Georgios listens to the issues that bring someone in and helps them name the patterns that get in the way. He works with topics such as grief, addictions, career strain, intimacy and anger, and with related problems like attachment difficulties, codependency and body image concerns.

For people who have experienced trauma, he brings trauma-focused tools alongside person-centred listening to reduce the hold of past events. He also offers short-term coaching-style support for career or life transitions when that is helpful. His language skills mean he can work in English or Greek with adults from different backgrounds.

His aim is to help people find clearer choices and more confidence in everyday situations. To begin, readers are asked to use the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Approaches used in remote sessions

Georgios combines person-centred work with emotionally-focused and solution-focused methods to support people online. Person-centred therapy centres the conversation on the client’s experience and priorities, helping them notice feelings and choices. Emotionally-focused work looks at patterns in close relationships and aims to change interaction cycles that cause pain. Solution-focused work concentrates on practical steps and small changes that move someone towards clearer goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Georgios will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and together they will try methods that match the person’s needs. That collaborative process helps decide whether shorter, goal-focused work or deeper emotional exploration is best.

Session options should be confirmed before booking as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or reducing the need to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help clients keep therapy consistent alongside work and other commitments.
