Dr. Georgia Chatzitheodorou, HCPC, BACP

Dr. Georgia Chatzitheodorou is a counselling psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). The HCPC registration indicates professional standing with the regulator for health and care professions, and BACP membership reflects affiliation with the professional body for counselling and psychotherapy.

She holds a Professional Doctorate in Counselling Psychology from City, University of London and an M.Sc. in Clinical Mental Health from University College London, alongside earlier training in psychology and education. Across six years of professional practice she has worked within the National Health Service and in third sector organisations, providing psychological assessment and evidence-based treatment for adults experiencing a wide range of difficulties.

Working in an integrative way, she draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to tailor therapy to each person’s needs. Her style is warm and holistic, attending to emotions, thoughts, bodily experience, and relationships to help clients increase awareness, cultivate self-compassion, and build resilience. She supports people with stress and anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, grief, parenting and career issues, ADHD, and related challenges such as attachment and adoption matters, caregiving stress, and chronic illness.

She provides therapy in English and works with clients internationally. She looks forward to connecting and offering respectful, compassionate support to help clients work toward their goals.

Integrative therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take committed action in line with those values while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often useful for managing anxiety, stress, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and how early attachment experiences shape current connections and emotional responses. This approach can support work on relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, and issues tied to abandonment or adoption.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to develop alternative skills for coping with symptoms like worry, low mood, and panic. It is commonly used alongside other approaches for a focused, skills-based element of therapy.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Chatzitheodorou works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or who live at a distance. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact with a registered professional and to access ongoing support in different formats that suit individual life circumstances.
