Georgios Nikolaou, BACP

Georgios Nikolaou is a counsellor who centres the therapeutic relationship in his work. He uses warmth, genuineness and empathy to create a safe space for people to talk about what matters most to them. Georgios holds BACP registration and brings six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

He blends humanistic, psychodynamic and practical approaches so sessions feel both thoughtful and useful. Conversations focus on spotting patterns, naming strengths and exploring how past experiences affect day-to-day feelings and choices. Georgios aims to help people build clearer communication and steadier emotional responses.

People come to him for help with stress, anxiety and depression, and for support after trauma or loss. He also helps with relationship and family problems, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, career stress and issues around self-esteem and anger. Additional focuses include attachment, abandonment, immigration stresses, and difficulties after separation or infidelity.

Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs. Georgios works alongside people to set small, manageable goals and to practise new ways of coping between sessions. His approach mixes reflective listening with practical techniques so change can feel realistic and gradual.

He has specific experience supporting first responders and emergency medical dispatchers, and he accepts international clients who want help in English. Georgios aims to offer steady support for people navigating grief, life changes and rebuilding trust in themselves.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a respectful, non-judgemental relationship where the person’s priorities lead the conversation. It helps when someone needs space to be heard, to make sense of feelings and to grow confidence in their own decisions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and introduces practical exercises to test new ways of thinking. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and putting coping strategies into daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Georgios will work collaboratively to choose methods that match the person’s goals, needs and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress unfolds.

Online work using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a shorter check-in, while chat or messaging supports quick written reflections between meetings. These options give flexibility and practical ways to keep therapy consistent.
