About Panayiotis

Dr. Panayiotis Papahristopoulos brings two decades of clinical practice in the United Kingdom. He is registered with the HCPC and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship or parenting strains.

He also helps those affected by trauma and abuse. Sessions are offered in English and Greek. He adopts an integrative approach that mixes practical, thought-focused techniques with explorations of deeper patterns.

Much of his work uses cognitive behavioural ideas to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

Background and approach

He also draws on psychodynamic and systemic perspectives when that helps understand how past experiences and family dynamics shape current difficulties. In early sessions he listens to what matters most to the person and agrees clear goals. Therapy is presented as a step-by-step process with tasks and conversations between sessions when useful.

He tailors plans to each person's situation rather than using a fixed template. People come to him for a wide range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety. These include intimacy and relationship difficulties, anger, self-esteem, life transitions and career uncertainty.

He also works with issues such as adoption and foster care, blended family tensions, immigration stress and obsessive or compulsive behaviours. Practical matters such as session format are discussed up front, with options including video calls, phone work, live chat or text messaging. The aim is to make therapy fit into everyday life while keeping the focus on progress and clarity.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Dr Papahristopoulos commonly uses cognitive behavioural methods that focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. This approach is goal-oriented and practical, and can help with anxiety, low mood, obsessions and coping strategies for daily stress.

He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns that might come from earlier relationships or experiences. These conversations can help make sense of emotional reactions and improve long-term self-understanding.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and suggest a way forward. Plans are reviewed as therapy progresses to make sure the chosen methods are helping.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging lets people check in between sessions or use shorter therapeutic exchanges. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives, while keeping the focus on progress and practical change.
