Georgios Drakos , BACP

Georgios Drakos is a UK-based therapist with seven years of clinical experience supporting people through relationship difficulties, grief and loss, anxiety, depression and a wide range of life changes. He holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and offers therapy in both English and Greek.

Georgios works with individuals facing issues such as stress, addiction, compassion fatigue, intimacy-related concerns, eating and body-image difficulties, bipolar and depressive conditions, as well as challenges that arise within families and blended households. He also provides focused support for abandonment and attachment concerns, communication and control problems, codependency, and difficulties linked to autism and Asperger syndrome. His practice includes short-term and longer-term therapy and has involved helpline and crisis service work, giving him experience with both one-off and ongoing therapeutic contacts.

His approach is integrative by design - he blends techniques from multiple modalities to suit each person’s needs, drawing on psychoanalytic influence and integrative psychotherapeutic training completed in two extended programs. Georgios aims to create a non-judgemental, respectful space that recognises how relationships, family systems and environment shape experience, and he meets people wherever they are on their journey toward insight, symptom relief or practical change.

Georgios emphasizes a collaborative therapeutic process, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to the client’s goals and pace. He accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally, and works with people seeking support for personal growth, coping strategies and clearer understanding of their emotional lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Georgios draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early and close relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. This approach helps people understand abandonment, attachment issues and recurring relationship dynamics so they can develop more secure ways of relating.

He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which places the individual’s experience at the heart of the process. In this approach the therapist offers empathic, non-directive support that can be especially helpful for building self-esteem, navigating life transitions and processing grief.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool Georgios employs when appropriate - it focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce anxiety, manage depression and support practical coping strategies.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Georgios treats this as a collaborative process, helping clients identify which methods match their needs, goals and personal preferences and adapting the plan over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules or those living at a distance. These formats allow licensed professionals to offer consistent support, make scheduling easier and enable a range of session styles from focused check-ins to deeper exploratory work.
