Georgios Drakos, BACP

Georgios Drakos works from a blended, person-centred approach that draws on several therapeutic styles. He combines practical techniques with open conversation so people can talk about what matters. Georgios aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on everyday problems like stress, anxiety and relationship strain.

He has seven years of experience in mental health and holds BACP membership, which is recorded as his credential. Georgios has supported people with depression, bipolar and addiction concerns, and he also focuses on grief, trauma and compassion fatigue. He uses methods that help with self-esteem, motivation and work-life balance.

In sessions he pays attention to how early relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. That attachment perspective sits alongside client-centred listening and cognitive techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. He also draws on existential ideas when people are questioning meaning or life direction, and on hypnotherapy when exploring deeper emotional patterns.

His background includes helpline work and crisis services, plus both shorter and longer-term therapy engagements. Georgios describes his role as meeting people where they are, and adapting pace and style to what each person needs.

People can expect a respectful, non-judgemental space to explore feelings and set realistic goals. Georgios aims to work collaboratively so progress fits each person’s rhythm and capacity.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Georgios draws on attachment-based ideas that look at how early relationships influence present feelings and behaviours; this can help when people are dealing with attachment issues, abandonment or intimacy concerns. He also uses client-centred counselling which focuses on listening and reflecting so the person leads the pace and topics of sessions. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify and gently change unhelpful thinking patterns that fuel anxiety, low mood or self-critical beliefs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Georgios will talk through options and adapt methods to match the person's goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. He aims to set clear, shared goals and to adjust the plan as things change over time.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around day-to-day life, such as taking a session during a break or when travel would be difficult. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when that suits someone, or conversations without needing to be on camera if that feels better for a session. The exact session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking to make sure they match your needs.
