Georgios Drakos
Flexible counsellor blending practical therapy approaches
About Georgios
Georgios Drakos is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses a blend of talking therapies to help people through hard times. He works in English and Greek and brings seven years of experience supporting people with stress, anxiety and depression.
Georgios also helps with relationship and intimacy issues, grief and loss, addictions, work and career concerns, and questions around identity and sexuality. He combines ideas from attachment-focused approaches, client-centred work and cognitive behavioural methods to suit each person.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward, with a focus on what the client wants to achieve. Georgios often helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try new ways of relating, and build skills to manage mood and pressure. Georgios has also worked in helplines and crisis settings, and supports both shorter-term problem-focused work and longer-term therapy.
He speaks from direct experience of these different settings when tailoring plans for people who need either quick relief or deeper exploration. People commonly come to him for struggles such as trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, eating and body-image concerns, and complex feelings linked to attachment and abandonment.
He pays attention to practical steps as well as the emotional story behind those struggles. His style is respectful and non-judgemental. The aim is to create a calm space where people can speak honestly, explore feelings at their own pace, and move towards clearer goals.
Georgios supports international clients and adapts sessions to fit each person’s situation and needs.

How Georgios uses therapy approaches online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice ways they relate to others and learn new ways of feeling safer in close relationships. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, offering active listening and empathy to help people find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Georgios will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, and then shape the plan together. That collaborative process helps decide whether short-term techniques, deeper attachment work, or a mix of methods will best meet the client’s needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow visual connection and more interaction, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a camera is not wanted, while chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life and travel, and allow ongoing support from a distance.
