About

Individual therapy for adults, in English and Greek

Who you'd be sitting with

My name is Panos Georgakis. I’m Greek and based in Rotterdam.

Changing countries and building a new life here showed me the challenges up close, and how much a new culture can test our boundaries.

I studied Counselling Psychology at the University of Derby and Coaching Psychology at the Athens Coaching Institute, and I trained as an Adult Educator at Panteion University.

I trained in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling at the University of Derby, on their postgraduate programme.

With over 3,500 hours of experience, I work with adults in individual sessions. I also work with companies and organisations, offering psychological support and guidance to employees facing difficulties at work.

Specialization

I work with adults in individual therapy, in English and Greek. I specialise in the following areas:

Burnout, boundaries and the habit of always saying yes – read more

Anxiety and panic

Low mood and low self-esteem

Relationships that keep hitting the same wall

Grief and loss

Life transitions – a move, a separation, a job that ended

How I work

I work integratively, drawing mainly on psychodynamic and person-centred approaches. In practice, that comes down to three things:

Relationships wound us, relationships heal us

The people closest to us shape how we feel, often more than we realise. So we explore your relationships, and the one that grows between us.

I am not a silent observer

I take an active part. I notice what comes up in what you tell me, and in what happens between us, and I bring it into our conversation at a moment when you can make use of it.

A partnership – not an expert and a patient

You know your own life better than anyone. I know how therapy works. We put the two together and work towards the goals you set.

Continuous Professional Development

I take part regularly in professional seminars and training, so that my practice stays current with developments in the field.

All of my clinical work is supervised. Supervision means my work is reviewed and reflected on with an experienced colleague, which keeps the practice accountable and follows recognised professional and ethical standards.
