About Georgios
Georgios Drakos is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses an integrative approach rooted in Existential ideas. He blends several methods to help people make sense of difficult life moments. Georgios listens for what matters most to each person and tailors conversations to meet those needs.
He works in English and Greek and has seven years of professional experience. Georgios focuses on problems such as relationship strain, grief and loss, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression and addictions.
Background and approach
He also supports people facing career pressures, compassion fatigue and stress. Additional areas he attends to include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, intimacy concerns and problems linked to autism and Asperger syndrome. His practice mixes client-centred values with cognitive and attachment-based techniques.
That means sessions often begin with the person’s story and move on to practical steps for coping and change. Hypnotherapy and motivational interviewing can be offered where they suit a person’s goals. Georgios has worked across helplines, crisis services and longer-term therapy settings.
That range means he is used to both single sessions and ongoing work. He aims to meet people where they are and to pace the work to what feels manageable. People who choose Georgios can expect a respectful, non-judgemental space.
The focus is on listening, exploring feelings at the person’s pace and making a plan that fits their life. He encourages realistic steps and recognises that progress often moves in different directions.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches you can access online
Georgios commonly draws on Existential Therapy to help people examine meaning, choice and the bigger questions that come with life changes. That approach encourages reflection on values and direction, which can help when coping with grief, emptiness or major transitions.He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns that began in close relationships and continue to shape feelings and trust. This work can help with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns and difficulties in close bonds. Client-Centred Therapy is another core influence, where the counsellor follows the person’s lead, listens deeply and offers a non-judgemental space to talk through what matters.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. Georgios will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan with the person based on their needs, goals and preferences. He treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts methods as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy or complicated lives. Video calls allow a face-to-face experience when convenient. Phone sessions work well for lower bandwidth or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging give shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family or other commitments and make regular contact easier.
