About Georgios

Georgios Drakos offers a blend of person-centred and practical therapy rooted in attachment ideas. He uses straightforward conversations to help people clarify what matters to them and to make gradual change. Georgios is based in the United Kingdom and works in English and Greek. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and brings seven years of mental health experience.

He commonly helps people facing relationship strain, grief and loss, low self-esteem, anxiety and depression. He also supports those dealing with addiction, career stress, intimacy questions and LGBT-related issues. Georgios lists additional focus areas such as attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, communication problems and first responder issues.

His approach is integrative. That means he adapts methods from several therapies to suit each person’s needs rather than following one fixed model. Techniques he draws on include attachment-based work, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural ideas, existential reflection and hypnotherapy components when appropriate.

Georgios has experience across short-term and longer-term work, and has provided helpline and crisis support in the past. He aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can speak at their own pace and set their own goals. The focus is on practical steps and understanding the patterns that keep problems repeating.

Sessions are tailored to what the individual wants to achieve, whether that is relief from symptoms, clearer relationships, or deeper self-understanding. He encourages steady progress and acknowledges that change can be uneven and personal.

How Georgios' approaches translate to online therapy

Georgios often uses attachment-based ideas and client-centred work to guide online conversations. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns, helping people understand why they react certain ways in relationships. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and can make their own choices.

He also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot thought patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood. CBT-style tools can help someone test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural experiments between sessions. Together these approaches allow practical steps and deeper exploration as needed, and Georgios discusses which mix suits each person.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with clients about their aims and try different methods to see what helps. Goals, preferences and how someone responds in early sessions guide the plan rather than a fixed protocol.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family commitments, cut travel time and allow brief check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer working without being on camera or who need shorter sessions to fit a busy day.
