About Dimitrios

Dimitrios brings thirteen years of experience to his practice in the United Kingdom and speaks English and Greek. Dimitrios takes a straightforward, listening-led approach. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of him.
How Dimitrios works
He aims to make therapy an open space where someone can say difficult things without judgement. Conversations are used to understand patterns and find small, practical steps forward. He draws on client-centred work to keep the person’s goals central and to follow their pace.
He also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns that affect current feelings and relationships. Existential questions about purpose and choice are welcomed when people want to make meaning from life events. Dimitrios has worked across different settings over more than a decade and holds BACP and NCPS credentials.
He has particular experience supporting people with bereavement, LGBT topics, relationship breakdown and addiction concerns. He is also experienced with attachment issues, non-monogamous relationships and sexual diversity including kink and BDSM matters. Sessions are offered in English and Greek and he accepts international clients.
Therapy can be arranged by completing the short matching questionnaire and scheduling via the Start Therapy button. The process uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support options
How his approaches work online
Dimitrios blends client-centred work and psychodynamic thinking so online sessions focus on the person and their history. Client-centred Therapy means the session follows what the person wants to talk about, and the therapist reflects and supports their own goals; this helps with issues like low self-esteem, stress and relationship worries. Psychodynamic Therapy looks for patterns from past relationships that influence present feelings and behaviour, which can be useful for long-standing difficulties and repeating relationship problems. Existential ideas are used when people want to explore life purpose, choices and meaning during transitional times.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Dimitrios will discuss options and adapt methods to suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. He aims to make the choice collaborative so the person feels involved in planning their sessions and the focus can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different routines. Video calls let people meet face to face when visual connection matters; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or who want to work outside fixed appointment times. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or varied schedules while keeping the therapeutic aims central.
