Compassionate counselling for complex life challenges
About Dimitrios
Dimitrios Charizanis helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain and grief. He also works with issues such as addiction, stress, sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem and problems around intimacy. Dimitrios has particular experience supporting people with LGBT concerns, and with complex topics like trauma, bipolar difficulties and coping with life changes.
He brings 13 years of experience in counselling and draws on psychodynamic ideas, existential thinking and a client-centred stance. Sessions focus on listening closely and understanding what matters to each person.
Background and approach
The aim is to make sense of patterns, feelings and choices so people can try new ways of coping. In practice Dimitrios keeps things straightforward. He offers space for people to talk and to notice how past events shape current feelings.
He also helps people weigh options and try practical steps between meetings. Conversations are tailored to the person’s needs and pace. He works with attachment issues, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and a wide range of life challenges including immigration stress and end-of-life matters.
He also supports people exploring BDSM, kink, and non-monogamous relationship structures, and addresses shame, guilt and prejudice-related distress. Dimitrios is registered with the BACP and the NCPS. He works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English and Greek.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, and international clients may be supported.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work and focuses on listening, empathy and acceptance. It helps people explore their feelings and make choices that feel right for them. Existential Therapy looks at life questions such as meaning, freedom and responsibility and can help people wrestling with life purpose, major changes or feelings of emptiness. Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on patterns that come from past relationships and helps people notice how those patterns affect current reactions and relationships.Finding the right approach is a joint process. Dimitrios will work with each person to understand their goals and preferences and then choose ways of working that fit. He often combines elements from different approaches so the work is practical and personally relevant.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be a good choice when a shorter check-in is needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need brief, flexible support between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility and easier access to registered or accredited professionals from different locations.
