About Georgios

Georgios Drakos offers a practical, person-focused counselling style rooted in how thoughts and everyday habits shape wellbeing. He works in England and brings seven years of clinical experience to sessions, emphasising clear, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain and grief.

He uses an integrative approach that draws on several methods to match the needs of each person. Sessions are conversational and grounded, with attention to thoughts, everyday routines and relationship patterns that keep problems going. The focus is on small, manageable steps that fit into daily life.

Georgios has helped people with a wide range of issues, including addiction, eating concerns, bipolar mood fluctuations, compassion fatigue and work-related pressures. He also supports people dealing with attachment difficulties, abandonment, identity and intimacy-related worries. He aims to make practical links between what happens in relationships and how people think and act day to day.

Across short and longer-term work he adapts the pace to each person's goals. He has experience of helpline and crisis settings, alongside routine therapy, so he is used to both one-off conversations and ongoing support. Sessions are offered in English and Greek.

His style is respectful and non-judgemental. He aims to help people speak about painful topics at their own speed, notice unhelpful habits, and try new ways of coping. Georgios encourages realistic, steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect daily thoughts and reactions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and habits. It is practical and often involves trying new ways of thinking and acting between sessions to reduce distress and improve routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress and needs become clearer.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. If you are considering online work, confirm the exact session options available before booking so you know how sessions will be arranged. Many people find remote sessions helpful for keeping momentum between appointments and practising changes in their everyday environment.
