About Georgios

Georgios Drakos is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach, combining ideas from several therapies to meet each person’s needs. He works in the United Kingdom and communicates in English and Greek. Georgios holds BACP accreditation and has seven years of experience supporting people through difficult life moments.

He helps people who are coping with relationship strain, grief and loss, low self-esteem, anxiety and depression. He also supports those facing work-related stress, addiction concerns, LGBT and sexuality questions, and issues around intimacy. Jealousy is one of the relationship-related concerns he addresses in sessions.

Georgios blends practical tools with reflective conversation. He draws on Attachment-Based, Client-Centred and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas among others, tailoring his approach to what the person needs. Sessions can focus on immediate relief, developing coping skills or making longer-term changes depending on the person’s goals.

His background includes both short-term and longer-term work, plus experience in helplines and crisis services. That variety informs how he responds when someone is feeling overwhelmed or facing sudden change. He describes therapy as a collaborative process where progress can be gradual and non-linear.

People who choose Georgios can expect a respectful, non-judgemental atmosphere. He aims to listen closely, help people name what matters to them, and work at a pace that feels manageable. To start, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How Georgios uses therapy approaches online

Georgios draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how close relationships shape feelings and behaviour; this can help when someone struggles with trust, abandonment concerns or recurring relationship patterns. He also uses Client-Centred Therapy which focuses on listening, acceptance and helping the person find their own direction during difficult moments. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills for anxiety, stress and low mood.

Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. Georgios will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt techniques accordingly. The decision about which approach to use is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a workday. Because the profile does not specify session formats, check the booking details to confirm which options are available before scheduling. Registered or accredited professionals can deliver effective therapy remotely, and the practical benefits often include greater flexibility and the chance to work from familiar surroundings.
