His practice is integrative in nature, combining methods and techniques from different therapeutic traditions to suit each person’s needs.

He aims to create a respectful, sensitive and non-judgemental space where clients can explore feelings and thoughts at their own pace.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions with Georgios Drakos

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. It helps people understand attachment styles, work through long-standing relational wounds, and build more secure connections with partners, family members and themselves.

Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, offering a supportive, empathetic environment where the person’s goals lead the work. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, exploring identity, and gaining clarity about personal values and life choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical strategies and exercises. It is commonly used to address anxiety, depression, stress and coping skills, offering tools that can bring measurable change in day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Georgios works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. He adapts his integrative practice over time so therapy remains responsive and person-centred.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility for people balancing work, family or geographic limitations. Georgios provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists.
