Georgios Drakos, BACP

Georgios Drakos is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom who brings seven years of professional experience to his counselling practice. He works with people facing relationship difficulties, grief and loss, anxiety and depression, low self-esteem, addiction, and work-related stress, and he offers focused support for LGBT issues, sexuality and gender identity concerns, and challenges around intimacy and family life.

Georgios uses an integrative approach that blends techniques from several therapeutic models to suit each person’s needs. His clinical background includes training in psychoanalytic and integrative psychotherapeutic methods, and he draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques when appropriate. He has experience with both short-term and long-term work and has provided one-off crisis and helpline sessions in emergency settings.

He believes that people are shaped by their closest relationships and family systems, and he approaches clients with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Georgios aims to create a non-judgemental space where individuals can explore feelings and thoughts at their own pace, whether they are seeking insight, symptom relief or practical change. He tailors treatment plans to meet each person’s goals and circumstances, and he accepts international clients and offers sessions through video calls, phone, live chat and in-app messaging.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Georgios draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create an empathetic, non-judgemental space where the client’s perspective guides each session - this approach helps people who need support building self-esteem, communication skills, and a stronger sense of agency. He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships and attachment patterns influence current difficulties in intimacy, relationships and emotional regulation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is employed to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, stress and some forms of addiction.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Georgios works with each person to identify their goals, preferences and practical needs, then adjusts methods as therapy progresses so the work remains relevant and effective for that individual.

Online therapy with Georgios is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexible access from different locations and schedules. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, to continue work during transitions, and to connect with a licensed professional from wherever the client is located.
