About Dimitrios

Dimitrios Charizanis helps people facing relationship strain, jealousy, grief, and issues around intimacy. He also supports those dealing with anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, sleeping problems and low self-esteem. Dimitrios offers calm listening and practical conversation for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

He brings 13 years of experience working in a range of settings and with many concerns, including LGBT matters, career stress, bipolar mood challenges and coping with life changes. His work also covers attachment issues, control problems, non-monogamous relationship dynamics and concerns around BDSM and alternative sex culture.

Dimitrios uses a client-centred way of working that puts the person's experience at the centre of sessions. He draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past that affect current feelings and relationships. He also uses existential themes to help people find or clarify meaning and direction.

Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping people try different ways of handling difficult feelings. Conversations aim to make upsetting thoughts easier to handle and to uncover practical steps that fit each person’s life. The therapist helps people spot recurring patterns and offers tools to manage crises and everyday pressures.

He is registered with BACP and NCPS, and works in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and Greek, and he accepts international clients who wish to work across borders.

How his approaches guide online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person brings. It helps people feel heard and clearer about what they want to change in relationships, work or everyday life.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that began earlier in life and still affect how a person reacts now. This approach can be useful for understanding recurring jealousy, attachment issues and longstanding relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the conversation. Dimitrios will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. He adapts the mix of approaches as people try things and learn what helps them most.

If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking to confirm what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to connect with a therapist who speaks English or Greek even if they live abroad. Confirm the precise formats and scheduling details when you start the matching process so sessions fit your everyday life.
