"Jimi" Dimitrios Katsis

"Jimi" Dimitrios Katsis is a BACP counsellor with 25 years of experience. He creates a warm, down-to-earth space where people can stop pretending to be fine and begin to talk about what’s really going on. He communicates plainly and invites honesty, with a blend of gentle challenge and steady support.

Jimi focuses on understanding a person’s story and the patterns that keep repeating. He helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma and anger, alongside issues such as low self-esteem, addiction, relationship strain and life transitions. He aims to make sessions feel like a practical conversation rather than a test.

In sessions he listens closely and asks clear questions to uncover what’s driving difficult reactions. He uses a mix of approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred ways of working. That means he pays attention to values and action, thoughts and behaviours, and to the person at the centre of the work.

Clients can expect practical tools alongside space to reflect. Jimi offers straightforward ways to manage stress, cope with powerful emotions and change unhelpful patterns. He also supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, intimacy issues and complex histories such as abandonment or domestic violence.

He encourages an initial informal conversation to see if there is a good fit before going further. Simple steps and clear goals guide the work, with the aim of helping people find steadier ground and more choice in how they respond to life’s challenges.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking committed actions toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, avoidance and anger by teaching ways to notice reactions and still move in a valued direction.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It offers practical strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and change behaviours, which can reduce anxiety, depression and problematic coping patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods in a collaborative way. That means you can expect an approach to be adapted as the sessions progress.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list them explicitly. In general, online work can make therapy easier to fit into day-to-day life - it can remove travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a busy day, or reduce the need to be on camera if that helps. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical options to help keep continuity of sessions and make therapy more manageable alongside work, family and other commitments.
