About Georgios
Georgios Drakos is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He works in English and Greek and brings seven years of experience helping people through anxiety, depression, relationship strain and life transitions. He uses an integrative style that blends methods from different counselling approaches.
Sessions focus on what the person wants to change. Georgios aims to help people build clearer self-understanding, improve relationships, and find practical ways to cope with distress.
Background and approach
Georgios has particular experience supporting people facing grief and loss, trauma and abuse, and addiction. He also works with concerns such as self-esteem, stress, compassion fatigue, eating issues, bipolar and other mood difficulties. LGBT matters and questions about sexuality and gender identity are listed among his areas of work.
His background includes work across settings, including helpline and crisis services, plus both short-term and longer-term therapy. That variety shapes a flexible approach suited to different rhythms of need and recovery. In sessions he listens without judgement and adapts the pace to each person.
The aim is to create a collaborative space where people can explore feelings, try new ways of coping, and set achievable goals. He encourages realistic expectations about progress and supports each person at their own pace.

How his approaches translate to online work
Georgios draws on Attachment-Based work and Client-Centred methods to guide online sessions. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people understand and change relational habits that cause pain. Client-Centred therapy focuses on a respectful, non-judgemental relationship where the person sets the pace and the counsellor listens and reflects back what matters to them.He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which examines links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical tools to manage anxiety, low mood and difficult reactions. Each approach is described simply in sessions so people know what to expect and why a technique might be used.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Georgios will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before, then agree a plan together. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to each person's needs.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online counselling helps fit therapy into busy lives, makes it easier to attend from different locations and can allow shorter or more flexible appointments when needed.
