About Marios
Marios Andreou is a counsellor and a BACP member with 24 years of experience. He works with adults across a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues and identity questions.
He helps people clarify what is troubling them and set practical goals. Sessions focus on talking through thoughts and feelings so problems feel more manageable. He uses listening and gentle questioning rather than instruction.
Marios often supports people facing grief, problems with intimacy, family of origin issues, and the effects of trauma and abuse. He also works with concerns such as self-esteem, career uncertainty, and coping with life changes including divorce, fertility problems and ageing.
His main approaches are client-centred therapy and existential therapy. Client-centred work emphasises personal experience and the client’s own pace. Existential work looks at meaning, choice and responsibility in everyday life.
People can expect a steady, conversational style in sessions. The counsellor will help identify small coping steps and ways to make decisions clearer. He aims to help clients notice strengths they can use outside sessions.
Marios offers inclusive practice for LGBT people and for those with chronic illness, codependency or communication difficulties. He works with a broad set of issues such as abandonment, guilt and shame, blended family problems, and chronic pain. Sessions are tailored to what each adult brings to the room.
How his approaches inform online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own experience. The therapist listens closely and follows what the client brings to the session. This approach suits issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns and coping with life changes. Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility. It helps when people face big questions about identity, purpose or loss. It can be useful for grief, transitions and struggles with intimacy or commitment. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about aims and preferences and agree a way of working together. Decisions about methods and pace are made collaboratively and reviewed as therapy progresses. Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list formats here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, travel or caring responsibilities. It can also suit people who prefer shorter check-ins or phone rather than video when bandwidth or quiet time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to keep regular contact and maintain continuity between meetings.Areas of expertise
