Georgios Drakos

Georgios Drakos is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years of experience in mental health work. He is based in the United Kingdom and works with people facing relationship problems, anxiety, depression and issues around motivation and self-esteem. He also focuses on grief and loss, trauma and abuse, and supports those dealing with work-life balance and addiction concerns.

Georgios uses an integrative approach, blending methods from several counselling styles to suit each person. He draws on attachment ideas and cognitive techniques, and sometimes brings in existential perspectives and hypnotherapy where helpful. Sessions can be short term or longer term according to the client’s aims.

He has worked across different settings, including helplines and crisis services, and offers one-off sessions as well as ongoing therapy. In practice he pays attention to how close relationships and family systems shape feelings and behaviour, and he helps people map those patterns in clear, practical ways.

In sessions Georgios listens for what matters most to the individual and uses concrete steps to address symptoms and goals. He supports people who are coping with transitions, low motivation, identity questions and intimacy problems. He encourages steady, realistic progress and recognises that change is rarely linear.

To begin, Georgios asks people to describe their current struggles and what they hope to achieve. From there he suggests approaches and practical exercises aimed at improving day-to-day functioning and restoring a sense of direction.

How his therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and close relationships shape current patterns. It helps people who struggle with trust, closeness or repeated relationship problems by looking at those patterns and finding new ways of relating.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s perspective at the centre. The therapist listens without directing and helps the client make sense of their feelings, which can be useful for low self-esteem, identity questions and decisions about life direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Georgios will discuss which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences and adapt the plan as the work progresses. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

Session formats are not listed in his biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel on workdays. Registered or accredited professionals can offer sessions that suit quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth when required, and Georgios will help choose a way of working that fits day-to-day life.
