About Panayiotis

Dr. Panayiotis Papahristopoulos is a HCPC-registered counsellor with 20 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. He also supports those facing parenting challenges, trauma and family conflict, and people dealing with life changes such as career shifts or midlife reassessment.

He draws on an integrative approach that mixes several evidence-based ideas. His practice commonly uses cognitive behavioural techniques alongside psychodynamic and systemic concepts. This means sessions can include looking at patterns of thought and behaviour, discussing past influences, and considering how relationships shape present difficulties.

Sessions are shaped collaboratively. He aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person’s situation, whether they are new to therapy or have been in therapy before. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity and compassion in the room and recognises that starting therapy can feel like a significant and sometimes nerve-wracking step.

Over two decades he has worked with a wide range of concerns, including anger, self-esteem, obsessions and compulsions, and issues linked to adoption, blended families and caregiving stress. He also supports people navigating immigration-related challenges, infidelity, jealousy and multicultural matters.

He offers therapy in English and Greek and works from the United Kingdom. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

He commonly uses cognitive behavioural techniques, which look at how thoughts and behaviours interact. This approach helps people learn practical skills to manage anxiety, low mood, obsessions and compulsive behaviours. It tends to focus on current problems and measurable steps forward.

He also draws on psychodynamic ideas, which examine how past experiences and early relationships influence present feelings and patterns. This can help people understand recurring relationship difficulties, issues with intimacy, jealousy and life-purpose questions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose methods that fit the person's goals, needs and preferences. That means plans can change as sessions reveal what is most helpful for the individual.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Practical benefits include fitting sessions around work or family commitments, having shorter check-ins when needed, and avoiding travel time. Online options can make it easier to maintain regular appointments and to continue work when life is busy, but confirm which formats are offered before scheduling.
