Dr. Georgia Chatzitheodorou, HCPC, BACP

Dr. Georgia Chatzitheodorou practises as a counselling psychologist who combines practical psychological approaches to suit each person's needs. She draws on therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. Georgia works in English and has experience with international clients.

She has six years' professional experience and holds registration with the Health and Care Professions Council, HCPC, and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her background includes doctoral training in counselling psychology and clinical mental health study at well-known UK institutions.

In sessions she focuses on helping people notice unhelpful patterns, build self-compassion and develop practical skills for coping. Common areas she supports include relationship worries, self-esteem, parenting concerns, grief, career issues and ADHD-related difficulties. She also addresses attachment, adoption and foster care concerns, chronic illness, body image and caregiver stress.

Her style is warm and person-focused. She adapts techniques from several approaches to match what each person needs in the room. The emphasis is on clear, step-by-step work alongside helping people make sense of their emotions and relationships.

Georgia has worked in the NHS and third sector settings, offering assessment and psychological support for adults from many cultural backgrounds. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the service process.

How these therapies work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based action rather than trying to eliminate difficult feelings. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and introduces practical techniques to reduce distress and change patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and specific problem areas. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current connections, which can help with relationship and attachment concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore goals, personal history and daily life to decide together which methods to use. That way the plan fits each person's needs and preferences rather than following a single template.

If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people join from different locations, which is helpful for those living abroad or who need international access. Registered or accredited professionals use a range of approaches to make online sessions practical and focused on achievable steps.
