Marios Andreou, BACP

Marios Andreou is a BACP counsellor with 24 years of experience helping adults navigate difficult life moments. He focuses on bringing clarity when worries, low mood or relationship tensions make decisions feel harder. He works in plain language and aims to create a calm setting where people can talk things through at their own pace.

He begins by listening carefully to what feels most pressing. Sessions use gentle questions and active listening to help clients identify goals and notice patterns that keep them stuck. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, grief, depression and self-esteem difficulties.

Marios also helps with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, sexual identity matters for LGBT people, and the after-effects of trauma or abuse. He supports people dealing with family problems, career uncertainty, and major life changes like separation or loss. He pays attention to how physical health issues such as chronic pain or illness can affect mood and coping.

His style draws on client-centred work to place the person's experience at the heart of the conversation. He also uses existential ideas to look at meaning, choice and responsibility when people feel stuck or empty. Together these approaches help clients build practical coping skills and new ways of understanding themselves.

Marios works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. He welcomes people who want straightforward, respectful counselling that focuses on real-life problems and clear next steps.

How therapeutic style meets online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience first. It involves careful listening, reflection and working at the client's pace to help them feel understood and make clearer choices. This approach suits issues like anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Existential Therapy examines meaning, responsibility and freedom in a person's life. It helps when people feel empty, stuck or face big life transitions by encouraging honest reflection about values and choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work with the client to decide which ideas and techniques fit best for their goals and situation. This is a collaborative conversation that can evolve as needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and reading non-verbal cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a workday. Live chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to arrange sessions around daily life and to continue therapy when travel is difficult.
