About Dimitrios

Counsellor Dimitrios Charizanis is registered with BACP and NCPS and has 13 years of experience. He works with people on anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, trauma, and a wide range of life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Greek and he accepts international clients while practising in the United Kingdom.

Dimitrios uses straightforward listening and conversation to help people clarify what matters to them. He draws on client-centred ways of working to focus on each person’s experience. Sessions aim to make space for thoughts and feelings, and to notice patterns that repeat in everyday life.

He also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships affect current difficulties. That can help with attachment problems, jealousy, control issues, and some long-standing patterns. Existential ideas are part of the work too, helping people face decisions, change, and questions about meaning and purpose.

Dimitrios has worked across different settings for over a decade. He has particular experience supporting people through grief, hospice and end-of-life matters, and complex reactions to prejudice or immigration stress. He also supports people dealing with sexual issues, including BDSM, kink, polyamory and non-traditional relationships.

Sessions work through conversation, reflection and practical steps people can try between meetings. Cost varies with location and sessions operate through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, prospective clients use the See online counselling options button, complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How his approaches are used in online counselling

Dimitrios works with client-centred practice by focusing on the person in front of him. That means listening carefully, reflecting what is said and helping people set small goals or experiments between sessions. Client-Centred Therapy suits matters like low mood, anxiety and relationship problems where people need a steady, listening presence.

Psychodynamic ideas look at how earlier relationships shape current patterns. This approach can help with attachment issues, repeated conflicts and strong emotional reactions that don’t seem to make sense. Existential ideas help when people face big choices, grief or questions about meaning and life direction.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Dimitrios discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts the way sessions are held accordingly. The choice of method is collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make sessions easier to fit around work or family life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often find that careful planning helps sessions fit into everyday routines.
