About Georgios
Georgios Bligouras is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. He also works with people dealing with loss, addiction, identity questions including LGBT issues, trauma, low self-esteem and major life changes. Georgios uses straightforward talk to help people make sense of what they are feeling and to decide what changes they want to make.
He works in a person-centred way, which means he focuses on listening and helping people feel heard.
Background and approach
He combines that with emotion-focused methods to explore difficult feelings, and solution-focused techniques to identify small practical steps forward. Trauma-focused approaches are used when past events keep affecting daily life. Georgios has five years of experience working with adults in the United Kingdom.
He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which is the credential he holds. He offers sessions in English and Greek and can work with international clients when needed. In sessions he aims to be warm and direct, helping people name what matters most to them.
Conversations tend to be practical and rooted in everyday life, so people leave with ideas they can try between sessions. His goal is to help each person find more confidence, clearer direction and less pain day to day. To begin, Georgios asks people to reflect on what they want from counselling and to consider small steps that feel achievable.
He supports people as they test out new ways of coping, make decisions and rebuild a sense of authorship over their life.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Georgios uses person-centred work and emotionally-focused therapy to help people connect with their feelings and find a clearer sense of self. Person-centred work focuses on careful listening and building a supportive relationship, which can help with low self-esteem, relationship worries and life transitions. Emotionally-focused therapy helps people identify and sit with strong emotions so they can change painful patterns in relationships and intimacy.He also draws on solution-focused and trauma-informed ideas to spot small, realistic steps clients can try between sessions and to address past events that still affect daily life. Deciding which mix of approaches to use is part of the therapeutic process and will be done together with the client, based on their goals and what feels most helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work, travel or family commitments, reduce time spent travelling, and allow for shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt conversations so therapeutic work remains practical and relevant even when it takes place remotely.
