About Dimitrios

Dimitrios Charizanis helps people facing major life changes and emotional strain. He supports those dealing with depression, anxiety, grief and stress. He also works with relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, sleep problems and questions around identity and sexuality.

Dimitrios uses a calm, listening style in short, regular sessions. He aims to make talking about hard things easier. He asks about immediate problems and practical steps people can try between meetings.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy centres on listening and responding to each person’s needs. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what they say and helps them find their own solutions. This suits worries about identity, relationships and self-esteem.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and how past experiences shape present feelings. It can help when someone wants to understand why they repeat the same relationship or emotional responses.

Existential Therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice and responsibility. It is useful for people facing major life changes, loss or uncertainty about direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and adapt methods based on goals, preferences and what comes up in sessions. This is a collaborative process and can change over time.

Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to maintain continuity of care for people living abroad or with busy schedules.
