About Dimitrios

Dimitrios Charizanis is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS, with 13 years of experience in practice in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief and a wide range of personal and life changes. He also has experience supporting LGBT concerns and issues around intimacy and sexual expression.

Dimitrios aims for straightforward, conversational sessions. He listens and helps people name the problems they are living with. Sessions often look at patterns in relationships, recurring emotions, and what gets in the way of everyday coping.

He draws on Client-Centred ideas to keep sessions focused on the person in front of him. Psychodynamic thinking is used to look at how past experiences shape present reactions. Existential questions about meaning and choice are also part of his approach when they fit the concern.

Work with him may include reflecting on attachment patterns, talking through grief and loss, addressing addiction or problematic coping, and discussing relationship or intimacy issues. He also lists support for concerns such as sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, and life purpose.

Sessions are conducted in English and Greek and Dimitrios accepts international clients. The practical steps to begin are described on his profile: use the online matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Dimitrios uses Client-Centred therapy, which centres the session on the person and their immediate concerns. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people clarify what matters to them, which can be helpful for stress, anxiety and relationship worries.

He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns and how earlier experiences affect present reactions. This can help with attachment issues, grief and long-standing relationship dynamics. Existential approaches bring questions of meaning and choice into sessions, which some people find useful when coping with life transitions or decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dimitrios will discuss what feels most useful and adapt his methods as you and he learn what works best. He treats this as a collaborative process based on your goals and preferences.

The therapist’s profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family life, quieter routines or busy workdays, and it can reduce travel time. Ask about session length and the subscription fee structure when you arrange your first appointment.
