Georgios Bligouras, BACP

Georgios Bligouras is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and addiction concerns. He also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, intimacy-related issues and career or life changes. Georgios works in plain language and aims to make it easier to talk about painful feelings.

He bases his work on a person-centred stance that puts the client's experience first. That means Georgios listens closely, reflects what he hears and helps people find their own way forward. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual rather than on jargon or rigid steps.

Georgios draws on emotionally-focused ways of working to look at patterns in relationships and how emotions shape behaviour. He also uses solution-focused ideas to help people set small, practical goals and build momentum between sessions. When past hurt is central, trauma-focused methods are used to gently address those memories and their effects.

Across five years of practice he has supported people at different stages of life and with varied concerns. He aims to help clients reconnect with their values and regain a sense of control over everyday choices. The approach is collaborative and paced to the person’s needs.

Sessions are conducted in English, with Greek also available. Georgios works from the United Kingdom and is registered with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. If someone prefers, he can discuss how therapy might fit into their life before they begin.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Georgios often uses Client-Centred Therapy online to create a listening space where people feel heard and can speak without interruption. This approach focuses on understanding the person's experience and helping them discover their own solutions, which can work well in remote conversations.

He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at patterns of emotion and connection. Online sessions can help identify repeated emotional responses and find new ways of relating to oneself and others. When past trauma affects daily life, Trauma-Focused Therapy offers methods to address those memories gently and reduce their impact on current wellbeing.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Georgios will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together choose the best fit. This collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer speaking from their own home or a familiar setting while keeping sessions focused on practical change.
