About Panayiotis

Dr. Panayiotis Papahristopoulos is a UK-based counsellor with 20 years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship or parenting concerns. He also addresses trauma, family conflict and issues connected to men’s wellbeing. Dr Panayiotis is registered with the HCPC, which is shown as his professional credential.

He approaches therapy as a personal journey rather than a one-size-fits-all fix. Sessions begin by listening to what matters to the person in front of him. From there he tailors the conversation and a plan to fit practical needs and goals.

His way of working blends several evidence-based ideas. Cognitive behavioural methods are a core part of his practice, alongside psychodynamic and systemic ideas. He draws on these to help people understand patterns, manage difficult feelings and change unhelpful habits.

Dr Panayiotis has helped people with a wide range of concerns, including adoption and foster care matters, blended family issues, caregiver stress, immigration-related worries, obsessional problems and midlife questions. He also supports those coping with anger, intimacy issues, life purpose questions and mood difficulties.

Sessions are offered in English and Greek and take place in the United Kingdom. He asks people to follow the site process to start therapy, which includes a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on therapist timings.

How different approaches can help online

Dr Panayiotis commonly uses cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic ideas to help people work through their concerns. Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on practical steps - identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety or low mood. Psychodynamic ideas look at how past experiences and relationships shape current reactions and emotional patterns.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. He will listen to your story and discuss what methods might fit your goals and situation. Together you can try approaches and adjust them as needed so the work matches what you want to change.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to keep continuity when life is changing. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that better fits your day, or reduce travel time so you can use a break at work or between commitments. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can explain which approaches translate well to online work and help you choose the best practical setup.
