About Georgios

Georgios Drakos is a counsellor who uses an integrative style that blends ideas from attachment work, client-centred listening, and cognitive behavioural techniques. He is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. Georgios aims to create a calm space where people can speak openly about relationships, grief, anxiety and patterns like codependency.

He draws on seven years of work in mental health across different settings. That includes one-off helpline sessions and crisis work as well as short and longer term therapy. This range gives him experience supporting people through loss, trauma and work-related stress.

Sessions focus on what is happening now and how it links to past relationships and habits. Georgios uses conversational, practical tools alongside reflective listening. He helps people spot unhelpful thoughts, test small changes and build new coping habits at a manageable pace.

People often come for help with self-esteem, motivation, addiction, sexual and gender identity questions, and the strain of juggling work and life. He also works with clients facing emptiness, attachment wounds, abandonment fears and intimacy concerns.

His style is steady and supportive. Georgios says change is rarely a straight line, so he works at the client’s speed and adjusts the plan as progress moves forward. He encourages realistic steps and honest conversation about what is most important to each person.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online work with this approach can help people recognise attachment responses and practice different ways of relating in everyday life. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the client’s pace. In remote sessions this approach supports people to feel heard and to work through what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) gives practical techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT online often includes simple homework and short experiments between sessions to test new habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, needs and preferences and then suggest a mix of methods that feels right. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as work progresses.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. In general, online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week and reduces travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and quieter conversations without the need to commute. Talk with the therapist about timing, written follow-ups or practical tasks between sessions to get the best fit for day-to-day life.
