Georgios Nikolaou

Georgios Nikolaou is a BACP counsellor who centres the therapeutic relationship in his work. He creates a warm, respectful space where people can talk honestly about stress, anger, anxiety and relationship problems. Georgios aims to be genuine and empathetic while helping people feel heard.

He combines client-centred listening with practical methods from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused work. That mix helps people notice unhelpful patterns, build coping skills, and test new ways of responding. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and goals.

Georgios also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences influence present feelings and behaviour. He helps people explore family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, and problems with trust or intimacy. He pays attention to how early patterns turn up in current relationships.

He has six years of clinical experience and has worked with people dealing with grief, career pressures, sleep problems and trauma and abuse. His background includes supporting first responders and emergency medical dispatchers through work-related strain.

Georgios encourages practical steps alongside supportive listening. He works with clients to identify strengths, strengthen communication, and build confidence. People who want a kind, straightforward approach to difficult feelings often find his style helpful.

How Georgios' approaches translate to online therapy

Georgios combines client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic ideas. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening and helping a person feel understood, which supports work on self-esteem and relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and helps people learn new coping strategies for anxiety, anger and sleep issues. Psychodynamic work examines how past experiences shape current patterns and can be useful for attachment, abandonment and family of origin concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Georgios will work collaboratively to agree which methods fit best with a person's goals and preferences, and he will adjust the plan as progress is made. That means sessions might shift between longer reflection, practical skills work, or short goal-focused steps depending on what helps most.

The biography does not specify which online or in-person formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online working can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also help people continue support when life circumstances change, with the therapist helping to shape sessions that suit everyday routines.
