About Georgios
Georgios Drakos is a BACP-registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. He sees people dealing with relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, addiction and issues around identity and sexuality. He also works with grief and loss, trauma and problems that affect day-to-day functioning such as low self-esteem and work-related stress.
Georgios uses an integrative approach. He draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. He also uses client-centred ways of working to listen and follow what the person brings. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when practical steps and clearer patterns of thinking help. Hypnotherapy and existential ideas are included where they suit the client's aims.
Sessions can be short term or longer term depending on the person’s needs. Georgios has experience in helpline and crisis settings as well as ongoing therapy, so he is used to both one-off and repeated sessions. He describes his work as collaborative and paced to each individual’s readiness.
He often helps people who struggle with boundaries, people-pleasing and codependency patterns, as well as those facing abandonment or attachment-related worries. He also supports people working through family problems, blended family issues and fatherhood questions.
Georgios offers sessions in English and Greek and accepts clients internationally. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled via the online booking flow.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and helps identify long-standing interaction styles. It can be useful for people who notice patterns of clinging, avoidance or repeated rupture in close relationships.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting and following what the person brings. It helps people make sense of their feelings and decide what changes matter to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) uses practical exercises to spot unhelpful thought patterns and test different ways of responding to stress and anxiety.
Choosing an approach is part of the work together. Georgios will discuss what feels most helpful for the person's needs and goals and adapt techniques over time. That decision is collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.
Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a weekday, allow shorter check-ins, and reduce travel time. It can also allow people to meet a therapist who speaks Greek or English even if they live elsewhere. Registered and accredited professionals often use online options to keep therapy practical and accessible.
