Book with DimitriosAbout Dimitrios
Dimitrios Charizanis welcomes people seeking support for a wide range of concerns, including LGBT issues, relationship and intimacy challenges, grief, anxiety, depression, addictions and stress. He is named as a counsellor and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. He communicates in English and Greek and works from the United Kingdom.
Dimitrios offers a calm, patient way of working. He listens without judging and helps people name what matters most to them.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to make daily life more manageable and to reduce the problems that get in the way of feeling well. He draws on client-centred practice to prioritise each person’s perspective. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at patterns that repeat over time.
Existential themes help people weigh values, choice and meaning when life feels uncertain. Practical work in sessions can include talking through relationship patterns, coping strategies for anxiety and managing sleep problems. He also supports people navigating prejudice, end-of-life concerns and the complexities of non-traditional sexual cultures such as kink and polyamory.
With 13 years of experience, Dimitrios has worked across different settings supporting emotional distress and life changes. He will usually collaborate with people over a series of sessions to explore what helps and to build small, usable steps forward. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.
Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How these approaches guide online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and priorities, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and reflective feedback to help the person find their own answers. It is useful for addressing relationship concerns, self-esteem and everyday stress. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and past experiences that influence present feelings and behaviours. It can help people make sense of cycles in relationships, attachment issues and long-standing emotional difficulties. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. This is a collaborative process where the therapy plan can adapt as understanding grows. Online formats should be confirmed before booking, as the profile does not list specific session types. Many people choose remote sessions because they fit around work, reduce travel time and make it easier to sustain regular meetings. Remote work can also allow shorter check-ins, quieter scheduling options and flexibility to suit busy lives. Confirm the available formats and scheduling with the therapist when you arrange your first session.Questions people ask about Dimitrios
