George Petrou

George Petrou is a counsellor who focuses on building an attuned, accepting relationship with each person he meets. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and has three years of professional experience supporting people through trauma, addiction and major life changes.

George uses a relational, integrative approach that centres on listening and empathy. Sessions are aimed at helping people feel heard and to speak honestly about painful experiences. He emphasises acceptance so people can explore difficult feelings without judgement and begin to notice new ways of coping.

Many people come to him with anxiety, depression, grief or struggles around self-esteem and relationships. He also works with those affected by abuse, addiction, burnout, compassion fatigue and issues connected to attachment. There is attention to practical patterns too, such as communication problems, commitment worries and codependency.

George draws on methods that suit the person rather than a single technique. He uses Attachment-Based ways of thinking about connection, client-centred listening, and trauma-focused approaches when past events are causing ongoing distress. He also brings elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and EMDR where they fit the person’s needs.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative. George helps people set realistic goals, build coping skills and practise new responses to stressful situations. If you want to begin, follow the site’s Start Therapy steps to match and schedule with him.
