About Georgios

Georgios Bligouras is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. He works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, grief, and major life changes. Georgios also supports those facing issues with self-esteem, career pressure, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and Greek and international clients are accepted.

He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and client-centred approaches to help people name and work with difficult emotions. He often combines these with solution-focused techniques and trauma-focused methods when needed. In practice he listens for recurring patterns and emotions and helps people find different ways to respond.

Georgios describes his work as a space for people to talk through what feels stuck. He encourages people to notice how old coping styles show up now and to try small changes in the room. Conversations are aimed at increasing awareness and testing new ways of relating to self and others.

People bring a wide range of problems, from relationship strain and addiction to grief and anger. He also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, codependency, communication problems and domestic violence. He has experience supporting people through divorce, separation and dissociation.

Background training includes approaches drawn from existential thinking and solution-focused practice alongside trauma-focused work. Georgios frames therapy as collaborative: he helps set goals, reviews progress and adjusts methods as the work unfolds. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first session.

How his approaches translate to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with strong emotions and interaction patterns. It can be useful for people who want to understand attachment needs and change repetitive emotional responses. Client-Centred Therapy centres on the person's experience and aims to make space for honest reflection and clearer self-understanding. Solution-Focused Therapy looks at small, practical steps and what is already working to build forward momentum.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Georgios works collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person's needs and goals. He checks in about progress and adapts techniques as conversations uncover what helps most.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer not to be on camera, while others value seeing facial cues; these practical choices can shape how sessions run and the kinds of exercises used.
