Dimitrios Charizanis, BACP, NCPS

Dimitrios Charizanis is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 13 years of experience working with individuals in a variety of settings. He supports people facing mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, schizoaffective conditions and personality disorders, and has particular experience helping those who are grieving, navigating LGBTQ+ matters, or coping with relationship difficulties.

His practice is built on empathic listening and a consistently non-judgemental stance, giving clients space to explore feelings, patterns and possible next steps. He draws on psychodynamic principles to help people uncover underlying dynamics that influence current difficulties, and uses Gestalt elements to bring attention to present-moment experience and practical ways to address problems. His aim is to combine exploration with tools that help improve wellbeing and quality of life.

He works collaboratively with each person to tailor the pace and focus of sessions to their needs. He holds BACP and NCPS credentials - BACP indicating membership of a leading UK counselling association and NCPS indicating registration with a professional counselling and psychotherapy society - and offers therapy in English and Greek. He is open to working with international clients and welcomes contact from people seeking thoughtful, respectful support.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-centered therapy places the client at the heart of the process, with the therapist offering empathic listening and acceptance to help people explore their values, choices and goals - it is well suited to work on self-esteem, relationship concerns and life transitions.

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on patterns that emerge from past experiences and relationships, helping clients understand how these influences shape current feelings and behaviour; it can be helpful for complex emotional issues such as grief, trauma, personality-related difficulties and recurring relationship problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Dimitrios approaches this collaboratively. He will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting focus and techniques as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and support is also available through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, and allow people to engage with registered professionals from locations that suit them.
