Integrative approaches for online therapy and support
Georgios works from an integrative base and commonly uses attachment-based methods to explore how early relationships shape current patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on connection and relational patterns, helping people understand how past bonds influence present relationships and emotional responses - it can be useful for issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties and intimacy-related concerns.He also draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which places the person at the centre of the work and emphasises empathy, acceptance and the client’s own capacity for growth. This approach supports people who want a compassionate space to explore identity, self-esteem and life decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used alongside these approaches to help identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavioural patterns, offering practical tools for anxiety, stress, mood and coping with day-to-day challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Georgios collaborates with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and he adapts the plan as therapy progresses to ensure the work remains relevant and effective.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, support work with clients across different locations and provide multiple ways to communicate depending on what feels most comfortable for the individual. Registered professionals like Georgios can use these formats to provide consistent, ongoing care while tailoring interaction style to each client’s needs.
