About Georgios Drakos
Georgios Drakos is a UK-based counsellor who brings seven years of mental health experience to his practice. He works with people facing a wide range of difficulties, including relationship problems, anxiety and depression, motivation and self-esteem concerns, work-related stress, addictions, and issues related to sexuality and gender identity. He also specialises in work-life balance and offers focused support for those coping with grief, loss, abuse, and trauma.
Georgios is a BACP-registered practitioner - BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom - and he draws on an integrative, synthetic approach to tailoring therapy. That means he combines techniques and perspectives from different therapeutic traditions, influenced by his longer trainings in psychoanalytic and integrative psychotherapeutic methods, to suit each client’s needs.
His experience includes both short-term and long-term work, as well as one-off interventions in helpline and crisis service settings. Georgios frames human experience through the lens of relationships and family systems, and he works from a stance of respect, sensitivity, and empathy. He aims to co-create a non-judgemental space where people can explore feelings and thoughts at their own pace and work toward personal goals.
Georgios tailors dialogue and treatment plans to meet individual priorities - whether the focus is insight, symptom relief, or practical change - and he meets clients where they are in their process. He offers support in English and Greek and welcomes clients who are seeking international access to therapy.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Georgios
Georgios uses a blend of evidenced approaches to tailor support to each person’s needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating; it helps with difficulties like abandonment, attachment issues, intimacy problems, and family dynamics by exploring relational needs and ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy puts the client’s experience at the heart of the work, offering a supportive, non-judgemental space where self-understanding and personal growth can unfold at the client’s pace; it is helpful for building self-esteem, processing life changes, and strengthening decision-making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and it is often used for anxiety, stress, mood difficulties, and coping with daily challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Georgios works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and he adapts the mix of techniques as progress unfolds. This collaborative planning helps ensure therapy stays relevant and focused on what matters most to the individual.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter exchanges are possible via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity across locations, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each session.
