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). 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 degrees from the University of Turin and the University of Macedonia.

Across six years of clinical work, she has practiced within the National Health Service and third sector organisations, providing psychological assessment and therapeutic support for adults facing a wide range of difficulties. Her practice is integrative and client-focused, combining evidence-based techniques to match each person’s needs rather than following a single method.

Dr. Chatzitheodorou draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to address presenting problems. Her areas of specialty include stress and anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, grief and parenting challenges, career issues, and ADHD. She also works with more specific concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family dynamics, body image, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication or control problems.

Experienced in international practice with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, she supports people in identifying unhelpful patterns, cultivating self-compassion, and developing practical skills to build resilience. She provides therapy in English and frames her work around warmth, respect, and holistic attention to emotions, thoughts, bodily experience, and relationships.

Therapeutic approaches for remote work

Dr. Georgia Chatzitheodorou often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when working remotely. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility so they can take meaningful action alongside difficult thoughts and feelings; it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns that started in early relationships and how they influence current bonds - this approach can be useful for relationship difficulties, attachment concerns, and family issues. CBT targets unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns by teaching practical skills to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, which is often effective for anxiety, low mood, and coping challenges.

Finding the most helpful approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Chatzitheodorou works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors methods so the approach fits the client rather than the client fitting a single model. This collaboration allows gradual adjustment of techniques as therapy progresses.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility in scheduling and make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations. These formats support continuity of care around work, family, or mobility constraints and allow therapists and clients to focus on practical strategies and real-life application between sessions.
