About Georgios
Georgios Drakos is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses an integrative style that includes hypnotherapy alongside talking therapies. He focuses on practical support for people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain and grief. He works in English and Greek and has seven years of experience in mental health.
Georgios draws techniques from several approaches to match what a person needs. Sessions are shaped around what a client brings - whether that is coping with loss, managing stress, or working through intimacy and identity concerns.
Background and approach
He aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can speak plainly about what matters to them. In practice he helps people with issues such as self-esteem, addictions, compassion fatigue and career stress. He also supports those dealing with trauma, abuse, body image and questions of sexuality and gender.
Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and commitment problems, and first responder issues. Georgios has worked in a range of settings, including helpline and crisis services, and sees both short-term and longer-term work. He explains ideas clearly and uses straightforward techniques drawn from cognitive behavioural therapy and client-centred practice alongside hypnotherapy when appropriate.
People can expect a collaborative approach where goals are set together. Georgios emphasises that change is rarely linear, and he helps clients find workable steps forward at their own pace. His registration is with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate online
Georgios combines hypnotherapy, attachment-based ideas and client-centred work in online sessions. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help someone access thoughts and habits they want to change, which can support issues like anxiety, stress and certain addictive behaviours. Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they affect current connections; it is useful for relationship difficulties, abandonment fears and communication problems. Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the centre, using empathic listening and reflection to help them find their own direction and build self-esteem.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Georgios will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress unfolds, so the process stays collaborative and flexible.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls let the therapist and client work visually for deeper conversation. Phone sessions suit those with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins, ongoing support and options for people who need shorter contact or a different pace. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, while keeping regular appointments consistent.
