About Panayiotis
Dr. Panayiotis Papahristopoulos is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 20 years of professional experience. He is registered with the HCPC, which appears after his name as a credential.
He speaks English and Greek and aims to meet people where they are when life feels hard to handle. He usually begins by listening carefully to what is causing distress. He pays attention to stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and issues that arise around parenting and family life.
How Panayiotis works
He also works with relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and career or life-change stresses. His way of working draws on several evidence-based ideas. He uses cognitive behavioural ideas to look at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, while also drawing on psychodynamic and systemic perspectives when they add value.
That mix lets him tailor sessions to the person in front of him rather than follow a fixed script. People who contact him can expect a respectful and sensitive approach. He frames therapy as a step-by-step process and checks in about goals and progress along the way.
Sessions are adapted for first-time clients and for those who have tried therapy before. Practical matters such as language and format are discussed up front. He offers sessions in English and Greek and provides several online formats to suit different needs.
The focus is on working together to find what helps most for the issues you bring.

Online support options
Approaches that suit online therapy
Dr Papahristopoulos draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and actions. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, obsessions and many stress-related problems because it focuses on practical steps and small experiments.He also brings in psychodynamic ideas to look at longer-standing patterns and how past experiences shape current feelings. That perspective can help when recurring relationship, intimacy or self-esteem issues are linked to earlier life events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss options and adjust the methods used based on each person's goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and reviewed as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls give a close, face-to-face feel for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, day-to-day support between sessions, or people who find writing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, parenting and other commitments while keeping the focus on what you want to achieve.
