Dr. Panayiotis Papahristopoulos

Dr. Panayiotis Papahristopoulos is a UK-based counsellor with 20 years of practice. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. He also supports those dealing with trauma, parenting challenges and anger. He aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Therapy is described as a journey and a process that looks different for each person. Sessions are shaped around what the individual needs and prefers. Dr. Papahristopoulos follows an integrative approach. He uses cognitive behavioural therapy as a main method, and also draws on psychodynamic and systemic ideas when they suit the issue. This blend is used to address mood, obsessions and compulsions, and coping with life changes. Across his work he has helped people with family matters such as blended-family and adoption-related concerns. He also supports those coping with caregiver stress, immigration issues, infidelity, jealousy and questions about life purpose and career direction. He is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, HCPC. Sessions are offered in English and Greek and are provided from the United Kingdom. If you are considering therapy, he asks you to take the first step and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How his approaches work online and in therapy

Dr. Papahristopoulos commonly uses cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic ideas to help people understand patterns and make practical changes. Cognitive behavioural methods focus on identifying thoughts and behaviours that keep a problem going and testing out new ways of thinking and acting; this can help with anxiety, low mood, obsessions and anger. Psychodynamic ideas look at how past experiences shape current feelings and relationships, which can be useful for trauma, intimacy-related concerns and longstanding patterns. Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss options with each person and together they will agree what to try first. That collaborative process keeps treatment relevant to the individual's goals and everyday life. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed, and avoids commuting time so people can use therapy alongside daily responsibilities.
