About Georgios
Georgios Drakos works from an integrative style that blends practical tools with reflective talk. He uses approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques to help people manage anxiety, low mood and relationship struggles. Georgios is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom and speaks English and Greek.
He focuses on concerns like grief and loss, trauma and abuse, stress and compassion fatigue. He also helps with self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions and identity questions related to LGBT issues.
Background and approach
Many people come to him for help with intimacy-related problems, eating concerns, and career-related stress. Georgios tailors conversations and strategies to each person. Sessions can aim for short-term relief or longer term work, depending on what the person wants.
He describes therapy as a joint process where the person sets the pace and goals and he adjusts methods to fit them. He has seven years of experience in mental health work across different settings, including helplines and crisis services. That background means he is used to both one-off sessions and ongoing therapeutic relationships.
In sessions he aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk openly about their feelings. He acknowledges that change can be uneven and sometimes painful, and he works alongside clients as they test new ways of coping and relating.
Therapeutic approaches suited to online work
Georgios commonly blends attachment-based work and client-centred therapy with cognitive behavioural techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and aims to help people form safer ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and can find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural techniques break problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and introduce practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Georgios works collaboratively to identify what feels most helpful based on a person's goals, history and preferences. He will adjust the balance of reflective talk and practical exercises as therapy progresses so the plan fits the individual.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversations, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred, and messaging or live chat can suit those who want flexible, written exchanges. These formats make it easier to attend therapy around work, travel or family routines and to continue work consistently when life gets busy.
