Georgios Drakos , BACP

Georgios Drakos is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with seven years of clinical experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. He works with individuals facing relationship difficulties, grief and loss, anxiety and depression, stress and compassion fatigue, as well as issues related to self-esteem, addiction, identity, family dynamics and trauma. He also offers focused support for concerns such as attachment and abandonment, body image and eating issues, codependency, and the pressures faced by first responders.

Georgios practises in an integrative way, combining techniques from different therapeutic models to suit each client - an approach informed by two extended professional trainings and an ongoing interest in psychoanalytic and integrative psychotherapeutic ideas. He has experience in both short-term and longer-term work and has provided one-off sessions in helpline and crisis settings, which has shaped his ability to respond to immediate emotional needs as well as deeper, long-running difficulties.

He believes people are shaped by their relationships and family systems and approaches each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Georgios tailors conversations and treatment plans to individual needs, meeting people where they are whether the goal is insight, symptom relief or lasting change. He welcomes clients in English and Greek and is open to working with international clients. Georgios aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where progress can unfold at the client’s own pace.

Therapeutic approaches and online support with Georgios Drakos

Georgios uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence current patterns of connection and trust; this approach can help with intimacy-related issues, attachment concerns and relationship difficulties. He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on empathic listening and helping clients find their own solutions by providing a supportive, non-judgemental space that fosters self-understanding and personal growth. In addition, he incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify and reshape unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, stress and some forms of addiction.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Georgios works with each person to understand their needs, goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods are likely to be most helpful. He adjusts the plan as therapy progresses so the work stays aligned with what the client wants to achieve.

Online therapy with Georgios offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter or more immediate support can be provided via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity across locations, and access consistent support from licensed professionals when it is needed.
