Dimitrios Charizanis , BACP, NCPS

Dimitrios Charizanis is a licensed counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 13 years of experience supporting people in a range of settings. He works with individuals facing mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, schizoaffective disorders and personality disorders, and has particular experience helping people who are grieving or navigating LGBTQ+ issues and relationship difficulties.

His therapeutic stance centers on empathic, non-judgemental listening across a series of sessions that aim to create space for expression and exploration of options to improve wellbeing and everyday functioning. He draws on psychodynamic principles and elements of Gestalt to illuminate patterns, emotions and relational dynamics, and to help clients develop practical tools for addressing the problems that trouble them.

Dimitrios holds BACP and NCPS credentials, reflecting professional recognition and training in counselling and psychotherapy. He conducts work in English and Greek and brings a calm, reflective presence to the therapeutic process while collaborating with people to clarify concerns and consider pathways forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, empathic relationship in which the therapist offers unconditional respect and support while helping the person explore their own goals and values - it is well suited to relationship concerns, self-esteem work and coping with life changes. Existential Therapy invites exploration of meaning, choice and responsibility, helping people facing questions about purpose, loss or major transitions to clarify what matters to them. Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on patterns in thoughts, emotions and relationships that may have roots in past experience, aiming to increase self-understanding and reduce repetitive difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dimitrios works collaboratively with people to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative stance means therapists can adapt the work as understanding grows and priorities shift.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility and accessibility. Video calls approximate face-to-face conversation, phone sessions provide a straightforward option when video is not possible, and live chat or text-based messaging allow for shorter, more frequent check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to access support across distances, and to maintain continuity of care when circumstances change.
