Georgios Drakos

Georgios Drakos is a UK-licensed therapist (BACP) based in England who brings seven years of professional experience in mental health to his practice. He works with people facing relationship difficulties, grief and loss, low self-esteem, life changes, compassion fatigue, stress and anxiety, as well as addiction-related concerns. His specialisms also include LGBT issues, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related problems, eating concerns, career questions, bipolar disorder and depression.

Georgios practises from an integrative perspective, combining techniques and strategies from different counselling modalities. His work is informed by influences from psychoanalytic and integrative psychotherapeutic approaches, and he draws on learning from two long therapy training programmes he has completed.

He has experience offering both short-term and long-term therapy, and his background includes one-off helpline sessions and work in crisis services for psychological emergencies. A particular focus in his practice is supporting people coping with grief, loss and the consequences of various forms of abuse and trauma.

Georgios holds the view that people are shaped by their closest relationships, family systems and environment, and he approaches each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion. He aims to create a non-judgemental space where clients can express themselves at their own pace, explore their feelings and gradually work towards their goals.

He tailors dialogue and treatment plans to the individual’s needs and prioritises meeting clients where they are - whether the focus is on insight, symptom relief or wider change. Georgios recognises that progress is often non-linear and unique to each person, and he encourages clients taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life. He looks forward to listening, exploring and supporting each client’s story.
