About Georgios

Georgios Drakos is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. He focuses on relationship difficulties, grief and loss, anxiety, depression and work-life balance, and he works with issues such as addiction, intimacy and LGBT-related concerns.

Georgios uses an integrative approach that draws on several models. He combines elements from attachment-based work, client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural ideas, and he also incorporates existential themes and hypnotherapy techniques when appropriate. Sessions emphasise practical conversation and building understanding of how relationships and family history affect current struggles.

He has experience with short-term and longer-term work and has provided single-session support in helpline and crisis settings. That background informs a practice that can include straightforward coping strategies alongside deeper reflective work. Georgios pays attention to motivation, self-esteem and practical steps people can try between meetings.

People who come to him often bring concerns about loss, trauma, attachment or difficulties balancing life and work. He also lists more specific focuses such as abandonment, communication problems, body image and first responder issues. Sessions are conducted in English and Greek, and he accepts international clients.

Georgios aims to work collaboratively, helping people clarify their goals and decide what kind of work will help. The process may involve looking at patterns in relationships, learning tools to manage anxiety or mood, and exploring values and meaning when life feels unsettled.

How his approaches fit with online work

Georgios often draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred work. Attachment-based approaches look at patterns in close relationships and help people see how those patterns affect current difficulties such as trust, intimacy and repeated conflicts. Client-centred practice focuses on listening, reflecting and letting the client lead the pace of exploration to clarify values and feelings.

He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical coping steps for anxiety or low mood. CBT-style work can include short exercises and behavioural experiments to try between sessions. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process; Georgios will discuss goals, preferences and what seems useful, then adapt the methods as work progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find that being able to join sessions from everyday locations helps maintain regular contact while they try new ways of coping.
