Dr Georgia Chatzitheodorou

• I offer both online and in person sessions. My office is within a few minutes distance from St Paul's and Farringdon tube stations.

I am a Counselling Psychologist offering a warm, collaborative, and culturally sensitive space for adults navigating emotional, relational, and neurodevelopmental challenges. My integrative approach draws on humanistic, psychodynamic, CBT, and narrative perspectives, informed by over a decade of clinical experience across the UK and Europe.

I have worked across a range of settings, including private practice, the NHS, educational settings and charitable organisations, supporting individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences. I am particularly interested in understanding how our personal histories, relationships and wider environments shape the ways we experience ourselves and navigate life's challenges.

I believe therapy should be tailored to each individual, recognising their unique needs, strengths and circumstances. My aim is to create a space where people feel heard, understood and able to explore their experiences at their own pace. I also place importance on making therapy accessible and responsive to different ways of thinking, communicating and processing experiences.

I work in both English and Greek and have extensive experience supporting individuals from diverse cultural and international backgrounds.

''I have been on counselling sessions with georgia for nearly 2 years while i had a difficult period to deal. She was very helpful and supportive during my journey. Even for urgent appointments she was always available to fit me in. I would definitely recommend her!''   Testimonial by M.

''I started my sessions with Georgia about a year ago to discuss different issues around my anxiety. Since then I've had to deal with multiple stressors that I was able to manage using the tools that Georgia provided me with and I've been able to succeed in the areas I wanted by having more confidence to go after my goals. Georgia's guidance, calmness, and support have really helped me in difficult times and I would highly recommend her.''  Testimonial by C.

''I've been doing fortnightly therapy sessions with Georgia for about two years now. My experience has been great and I will continue doing therapy with her for the foreseeable future. She is very supportive and professional, and she helped me delve into my past to accept my childhood and appreciate my life now. I feel more confident about myself and I am learning to see things through a different perspective''  Testimonial by C.

What to expect from your first session:

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to explore what has brought you to therapy, what you hope to gain from it, and what feels important for us to focus on.

Understanding your needs: We will explore your current concerns, personal circumstances and hopes for therapy, allowing us to begin identifying what you would like to work towards.

Your previous experiences of therapy: If you have attended therapy before, we can discuss what you found helpful, what perhaps did not work as well, and any preferences you may have for your therapeutic experience this time.

Getting to know each other: You will have the opportunity to get a sense of me and my way of working, ask questions and consider whether you feel comfortable working together.

If we both feel that working together would be a good fit, we can arrange a regular weekly appointment and begin our therapeutic work collaboratively, at a pace that feels right for you.

I welcome any questions you may have, so please do get in touch. I aim to respond to all enquiries within one business day.
