About Georgios

Georgios Drakos is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years of professional practice in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing relationship difficulties, anxiety and depression, low self-esteem, addictions, grief and loss, and work-related pressures. Georgios also lists LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, and stress-related issues among his areas of focus.

He uses an integrative way of working that draws on several approaches rather than one single method. That means sessions can include talking through relationship patterns, exploring attachment issues, and trying practical strategies for anxiety or mood. He has experience with both short-term and longer-term work, and has provided one-off helpline and crisis sessions in past roles.

Georgios describes a view of people shaped by their close relationships and family systems. In practice he pays attention to how those patterns affect everyday feelings and behaviour. He also works with themes such as abandonment, codependency, body image and communication problems when these come up in therapy.

Sessions can include elements from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based methods, as well as client-centred conversation and existential questions about meaning and values. He also lists hypnotherapy among his approaches and draws on motivational interviewing when change is a focus.

Georgios offers work in English and Greek and accepts international clients. He asks new clients to use the site matching process to book a first session and explains that fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Georgios often works from an attachment-based perspective, which looks at how early relationship patterns shape current ways of connecting and reacting. This approach can help when worries about intimacy, abandonment or communication cause problems in daily life.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behaviour changes. CBT can be useful for managing anxiety, stress and mood by practising techniques between sessions.

Finding the right approach is something to work on together. Georgios will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt methods as the work progresses in collaboration with the client.

Practical benefits of working online include being able to fit sessions around work or family commitments and reducing travel time. Different session formats and scheduling options may suit different people, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to keep regular check-ins and continue therapy from another location when needed.
