Dimitrios Charizanis, BACP, NCPS

Dimitrios Charizanis works with people facing a wide range of challenges. He helps with anxiety, depression, grief and relationship strain. He also supports those dealing with addictions, trauma, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem and life changes.

He brings 13 years of experience to sessions and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. He speaks English and Greek and works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. Dimitrios aims to make the conversation straightforward and practical from the first meeting.

In sessions he focuses on listening carefully and following what matters most to each person. He uses client-centred ways of working that prioritise the client’s experience and perspective. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time and on existential ideas about meaning and choices.

Work with him typically involves talking through what is causing distress and trying out different responses. Sessions can cover specific problems such as compulsive behaviours or sleeping issues, and deeper themes such as attachment, shame, life purpose and identity. He has experience with LGBT matters, polyamory and alternative sexual cultures, and with issues linked to immigration, bereavement and end-of-life care.

Dimitrios describes his style as empathic and non-judgemental. He aims to help people find clearer options and small, practical steps to improve everyday life. To begin, people use the site’s Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to availability.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and priorities. The therapist listens deeply and helps people make sense of what matters most, which can be useful for concerns like anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship questions.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and earlier experiences that shape current behaviour. This approach can help people understand why certain reactions repeat and support change in long-standing problems such as attachment difficulties or persistent mood issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dimitrios will discuss goals and preferences and will collaborate with clients to decide which methods to try. That shared decision helps shape session focus and the pace of progress.

Because the specific session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into everyday life easier, for example by reducing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a break, or avoiding being on camera when that feels difficult. Registered or accredited professionals offer online therapy that aims to mirror the focus and depth of face-to-face work while fitting sessions into a busy schedule.
