About Georgios

Georgios Drakos is a counsellor who combines practical therapy methods with a person-centred attitude. He uses approaches that help people make sense of relationships, loss and ongoing life stresses. Georgios speaks English and Greek and works from the United Kingdom.

He draws on a range of approaches rather than one single method. That means sessions can include talking through current problems, looking at patterns from past relationships, and using techniques to reduce anxiety or manage mood. He aims to match the way he works to what each person needs in the room.

Georgios has seven years of experience in mental health settings, including helpline and crisis work. He has supported people dealing with grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction and issues linked to sexuality and gender identity. He also helps with workplace stress, low self-esteem and difficulties with intimacy and communication.

His additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image and codependency, as well as the particular stresses faced by first responders and fathers. He describes therapy as a collaborative process and seeks to create a respectful, non-judgemental space for people to talk at their own pace.

Georgios holds BACP which is listed as his professional credential. He tailors sessions to each person's goals, whether they want short-term support for a specific problem or longer-term work to understand recurring patterns. To begin, he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How Georgios' approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and patterns formed early in life. Online sessions using this approach help people understand how past bonds shape current relationships and reactions.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of the session. The counsellor listens without judging and helps people explore their own values, feelings and goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In remote sessions CBT can be used to develop practical strategies for anxiety, mood management and changing unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, past experiences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as therapy progresses.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins between commitments, or suit people who prefer not to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can use remote sessions to offer consistent support that fits around everyday schedules.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
