About Georgios

Georgios Nikolaou is a BACP psychotherapeutic counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief, career strain, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns. Georgios also lists support for issues such as intimacy, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes.

He prefers a person-centred approach that places the therapeutic relationship at the heart of the work. Sessions focus on clear, respectful dialogue. Georgios aims to build understanding of patterns, identify strengths, and develop practical coping skills you can use at home.

His practice draws on a mix of methods, including client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, plus psychodynamic ideas that look at past relationships and patterns. Solution-focused tools are used when people want brief, goal-oriented work. He adapts these methods to the issues brought to each session.

Georgios has worked with people affected by family conflict and with first responders and emergency medical dispatchers. He offers help with common family-orientated problems such as communication breakdown, family of origin issues, divorce and separation, and caregiver stress. He also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns and infidelity.

Conversations aim to be straightforward and practical. Sessions typically involve noticing recurring patterns, trying small changes, and reviewing what helps. Georgios encourages people to take manageable steps toward clearer thinking and steadier relationships.

How sessions work

How Georgios uses talking therapies online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and supports practical exercises to reduce anxiety or improve sleep. Psychodynamic ideas examine recurring relationship patterns that may come from earlier life experiences and can help with long-standing family issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Georgios will discuss different options with the client and agree a plan together. That plan is reviewed as sessions progress so methods can be adjusted to better fit the person's goals and circumstances.

The practical benefits of working online include being able to fit sessions around daily life and reducing travel time. If you are unsure which session format is offered, confirm the current options before booking. The emphasis is on making therapy workable alongside parenting, shift work or other commitments rather than promising a specific format.
