Dr. Georgia Chatzitheodorou, HCPC, BACP

Dr. Georgia Chatzitheodorou works from an integrative, person-centred approach that combines evidence-based methods to meet individual needs. She uses practical techniques along with reflective conversation to help people manage stress, anxiety and relationship strain. Sessions aim to build clearer thinking, steadier emotions and better coping for life changes.

Georgia trained at City, University of London, completing a Professional Doctorate in Counselling Psychology. She also holds an M.Sc. in Clinical Mental Health from University College London and earlier degrees in psychology and education. Her background includes six years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom, with work in the National Health Service and third sector organisations.

In session she adapts methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to suit each person. Conversations focus on practical steps, skills for managing difficult moments, and patterns that affect relationships and self-esteem. She also draws on client-centred and dialectical ideas when helpful.

Georgia works with a broad range of concerns including stress, panic, obsessive thoughts, low self-worth, grief and the ups and downs of parenting and career decisions. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, autism-related needs, chronic illness or caregiving strain. Her approach pays attention to how life events, relationships and thinking styles interact.

Sessions are offered in English and Georgia accepts international clients. She holds HCPC registration and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. People can expect a calm, respectful space to talk and to learn new ways of coping.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match your values. It helps when worry or avoidance get in the way of living the kind of life you want. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety and unhelpful thinking. It is useful for panic, phobias and obsessive thoughts. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current trust and connection. It helps when relationship fears or attachment wounds affect everyday life.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and life circumstances and combine methods that suit each person. Sessions are collaborative, so techniques are introduced gradually and adjusted according to what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation across distances. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing support and people who prefer written reflection. Many registered or accredited professionals use these formats to make therapy more accessible around work, family and travel commitments.
