About Georgios

Georgios Nikolaou is a psychotherapeutic counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He has six years of experience working with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief, career questions, trauma and intimacy concerns. He also supports those struggling with sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem and depression.

Georgios describes his work as integrative and humanistic, focused on building a strong therapeutic relationship. He aims to be genuine and respectful in sessions and to work alongside clients rather than directing them. People can expect straightforward conversations that look at patterns, strengths and practical coping skills.

In practice he uses a mix of approaches, including client-centred methods, psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused strategies. He often brings cognitive behavioural ideas into sessions to help with anxious thinking and practical behaviour change. The mix is chosen to fit the problem being worked on rather than following a single formula.

His experience includes supporting first responders and emergency medical dispatchers, and he lists additional focus areas such as attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, family of origin concerns, immigration-related stress and infidelity. Georgios aims to help people increase awareness, improve communication and build confidence.

Sessions are conversational and aim to identify patterns and strengths. Georgios encourages practical steps you can try between sessions and works with each person to shape ongoing goals and plans.

How Georgios uses approaches in online work

Georgios commonly combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas. Client-centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person, which helps build understanding and trust. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and offers practical techniques for anxiety, sleep problems and mood-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Georgios will discuss what feels most useful and adjust methods based on the client’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the counsellor and client agree on focus and steps to try between sessions.

The exact online session formats should be confirmed before booking. If you prefer remote sessions, check which options are offered when you complete the matching questionnaire. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, shifts or travel, reduce time spent commuting, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and practical tools to suit an online meeting, helping to keep progress moving in everyday life.
