"Jimi" Dimitrios Katsis, BACP

Jimi Dimitrios Katsis offers a practical, warm approach to therapy rooted in acceptance and clear skills work. He blends compassionate listening with active techniques to help people feel steadier and more able to cope with day-to-day life.

He has 25 years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Jimi keeps sessions straightforward and down-to-earth. He aims to make space for honest conversation without jargon or overcomplication.

In sessions he draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and build new ways of responding. He also uses Client-Centred principles to offer a respectful, non-judgemental space. Where strong emotions are present, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy tools may be included to help with regulation and connection to feelings.

Jimi works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, stress, grief, self-esteem and ADHD. Additional areas he addresses include intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, communication problems, abandonment and issues linked to adoption and foster care.

His style is direct but kind. He will listen to your story, help you identify patterns that cause pain, and co-develop practical steps that fit your life. People often come for short-term work focused on particular problems or for longer-term support through bigger life changes.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then make small moves toward the life they value; it can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them through practical tasks and experiments, which can be helpful for worry, low mood and stress. Client-Centred Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-judgemental relationship where the person leads the pace and content of sessions, helping people feel understood and heard.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jimi will work collaboratively to choose methods that match your needs, goals and preferences. That might mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting as you progress.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow for a face-to-face feel and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to arrange sessions around work, caring responsibilities or other commitments while still using ACT, CBT or client-centred work effectively.
