About Georgios

Georgios Nikolaou is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and family concerns, anger and other everyday problems people bring to therapy. He speaks English and accepts clients from other countries.

Georgios bases his work on the relationship between counsellor and client. He uses that relationship to help clients notice patterns, build awareness and try different ways of handling difficult moments. He aims to be straightforward and respectful in sessions while helping people identify strengths and coping skills.

His clinical toolbox includes Client-Centred ways of talking, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic ideas. These approaches are used to look at unhelpful thought habits, emotional triggers and repeated life patterns. He also draws on solution-focused techniques to set practical steps and small goals between sessions.

Georgios has experience supporting people with work stress, sleep problems, parenting strain, intimacy-related concerns and responses to trauma or abuse. He has worked with first responders and emergency medical dispatchers, and with people coping with separation, immigration stresses and family of origin issues.

Sessions aim to increase communication skills, reduce recurring reactions such as anger or avoidance, and improve day-to-day coping. He uses clear dialogue and collaborative planning rather than jargon. To begin, people complete a brief questionnaire and then arrange an initial appointment.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful working relationship. Online sessions use this listening-first stance to help clients talk through what causes anger and frustration, and to identify personal strengths and values.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thoughts, feelings and actions in short cycles. In online sessions CBT tools are used to spot unhelpful thought patterns, try new responses and set small experiments to reduce reactivity and improve sleep or mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasise CBT, Client-Centred discussion or short solution-focused steps and adjust as needed.

The original listing does not specify particular session formats, so check the booking information to confirm how sessions are offered. Many people find online appointments helpful because they fit around work, reduce travel and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can offer the same practical therapeutic tools remotely, and sessions can be organised to suit everyday routines.
