Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support with Dimitrios Charizanis

Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of the work. It focuses on empathic listening and unconditional regard, helping people explore their feelings and choices at a pace that feels right for them. This approach can be especially helpful for issues of self-esteem, relationship concerns, and emotional adjustment.

Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence present behaviour and relationships. It helps clients gain insight into recurring difficulties, such as attachment problems, grief, or patterns that contribute to anxiety and depression, and supports longer-term personal change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dimitrios will work with each person to identify which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may integrate elements from different approaches as therapy progresses to best support the client’s aims.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and for people who live far from local services. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, try different formats, and access support from the comfort of one’s own environment while still working with a registered professional.
