Dimitrios Katsis

I currently have a small number of slots available for online therapy.

I offer daytime and some evening appointments, Monday to Friday. Sessions are held via secure video.

Something's not right. 

You're managing 鈥� work, relationships, life 鈥� but underneath there's anxiety that won't quit, exhaustion that sleep doesn't fix, or patterns you keep repeating no matter how hard you try. 

I work online with adults across the UK who are managing on the surface but carrying more than anyone sees. Maybe you've been called "the strong one" or "the reliable one" 鈥� and you're exhausted by it. Maybe you look successful but feel like a fraud. If something in that resonates, we should talk.

You might have tried therapy before 鈥� got some tools, felt better for a while 鈥� but something still isn't shifting. That's usually because the root hasn't been addressed. Your struggles aren't a character flaw. They're how you adapted to your experiences. That makes sense. And it can change.

I've navigated my own difficult terrain 鈥� I know what it's like to carry things nobody sees. That matters when you're trusting someone with the hardest parts of your story.

I'm direct, warm, and practical. No jargon, no endless reflection, no tiptoeing around the hard stuff. We work at a pace that feels safe 鈥� but we don't avoid what matters.

The work moves through three stages: stability first, then understanding how past experiences shaped your patterns, then building change that actually sticks in your life.

Sessions are 50 minutes. Transparent fees, secure notes, confidentiality within safeguarding limits. Email between sessions is fine. First chat is on me, lets see if we're a good fit.

You know something's off. Maybe it's the constant second-guessing, relationships that drain you, or holding everything together while quietly falling apart. Life looks fine on the outside. Inside, different story.

Most people who find me have been carrying this for years. Smart, capable, often successful 鈥� but underneath there's anxiety, shame, emptiness, or just going through the motions. They've usually tried therapy before. It helped a bit, but didn't quite get there.

What I offer is different. Not magic 鈥� just focus on why you're wired this way, not just managing symptoms. The patterns running your life now usually made sense once. They were survival. Understanding that changes everything.

In sessions: direct conversation, not endless "and how does that make you feel?" I'll be honest. I'll notice things. I'll ask uncomfortable questions 鈥� but won't push you somewhere you're not ready to go. You set the pace.

What shifts over time: less hijacked by reactions, clearer about what you want, less exhausted by relationships, more at home in yourself. I can't promise outcomes 鈥� but I can promise a steady, human space where you don't have to perform.

The first conversation is free and there's no obligation. It's not an assessment 鈥� it's just a chance to talk and see if we're a good fit.

You don't need to have your story straight or know what you want to work on. Most people start with "I'm not even sure why I'm here" or "I don't know where to begin." That's fine. We'll figure it out together.

I'll ask a bit about what's going on and what's brought you here now. You can share as much or as little as you want 鈥� nothing's forced. I'll be honest about whether I think I can help, and if I'm not the right person, I'll say so and point you somewhere better.

By the end, you'll have a sense of how I work and whether it feels right. If it does, we'll talk about next steps. If it doesn't, no pressure 鈥� finding the right fit matters more than booking a session.

The call usually lasts 20-30 minutes. Video or phone, whatever's easier for you.

Current availability: Limited for new clients.

Hours: Monday to Thursday 7am to 3pm. Evening appointments available on request.

I reply to enquiries on working days, usually within 12 hours. If you contact me and don鈥檛 hear back within that time, please check your spam/junk folder or resend your message.

I offer a calm, trauma-informed space where we can make sense of what you鈥檙e experiencing without judgement or pressure. Many people I work with are high-functioning on the outside, but feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in familiar patterns underneath. We鈥檒l gently explore how earlier experiences may still be shaping the present 鈥� in relationships, self-worth, boundaries, and the way your nervous system responds to stress.

Therapy with me is collaborative and paced to feel manageable. We鈥檒l start by getting clear on what you want help with and what 鈥渂etter鈥� would look like for you, then work step by step. Sessions often include a mix of careful listening, reflective questions, and practical support. Depending on your needs, I may draw on approaches such as relational/attachment-informed therapy, and evidence-based tools from ACT/CBT-informed practice and DBT skills (e.g., grounding, emotional regulation, working with difficult thoughts, and building steadier boundaries).

You won鈥檛 be pushed to share more than you鈥檙e ready to. Safety and choice matter, especially when trauma is part of the story. Along the way, we鈥檒l review how the work is going and adjust our focus so therapy stays useful. I work ethically, with clear boundaries and respect for confidentiality.

My practice is for people who want a safe, confidential space to talk things through and understand themselves more deeply. If you鈥檝e been carrying anxiety, pressure, or a sense of 鈥渟omething isn鈥檛 right鈥� for a long time, therapy can help you make sense of it 鈥� gently, without judgement.

I work in a way that is sensitive to trauma. You will not be pushed to disclose anything before you鈥檙e ready. We go at your pace and focus on what feels most important right now. Over time, we may explore how earlier experiences shaped your beliefs about yourself, your relationships, and your ability to feel safe or settled.

Clients often say they value the combination of compassion and clarity: being heard, while also having help to understand patterns and practise new ways of responding. We鈥檒l regularly check in on how therapy is going and adjust the focus so it supports you.

In the first session we focus on three things:

what鈥檚 happening for you at the moment

what you want help with

what might get in the way (stress, triggers, anxiety patterns, relationships, etc.)

It鈥檚 not an 鈥渁ssessment鈥� in a clinical sense, but I will ask some gentle questions to understand your background and what support you need. We鈥檒l also cover how I work, confidentiality, and whether ongoing sessions feel right for you.

Thank you for your interest. I鈥檓 currently taking on a limited number of new clients, depending on match and session times.

I typically work Monday to Thursday and offer appointments between 7am & 3pm, including some evening slots.

I offer psychotherapy from my Bristol practice for adults seeking support with anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and the long-term impact of childhood experiences. My approach is trauma-informed and grounded in a strong therapeutic relationship 鈥� a place where you can speak openly, feel understood, and begin to change patterns that no longer serve you.

You can expect sessions that balance depth and practicality. We鈥檒l explore what鈥檚 happening now, connect it to underlying themes (such as attachment, boundaries, shame, or emotional neglect), and work towards steadier ways of coping. Therapy isn鈥檛 about being 鈥渇ixed鈥�; it鈥檚 about building clarity, self-compassion, and confidence in your own responses.

Some clients come with a clear goal; others simply know something feels off. Either way is welcome. I鈥檒l support you to find language for your experience and develop tools that help day-to-day, while also working with the deeper roots of distress.

The first session is a chance for us to meet and see if it feels like a good fit. We鈥檒l talk about what鈥檚 brought you to therapy, what you鈥檙e hoping for, and what鈥檚 been hard lately. You can share as much or as little as you want 鈥� there鈥檚 no pressure to go into painful detail straight away.

I鈥檒l also explain how I work, answer any questions, and we鈥檒l look at practicalities like session times, fees, and boundaries/confidentiality. If we decide to continue, we鈥檒l agree a way of working that suits you.

First session has no charge and can only be scheduled after an initial email request.

Something鈥檚 not right.

You鈥檙e managing 鈥� work, relationships, life 鈥� but underneath there鈥檚 anxiety that won鈥檛 quit, exhaustion that sleep doesn鈥檛 fix, or patterns you keep repeating no matter how hard you try.

I work online with adults across the UK, specialising in adult survivors of childhood trauma 鈥� including emotional neglect, chronic criticism, parentification, chaotic homes, or 鈥渘othing terrible happened but it never felt safe.鈥� I also work with relational trauma (when the wound happened in relationships, often over time) and vicarious trauma (when you鈥檝e absorbed other people鈥檚 distress through caring, family roles, or front-line/people-facing work).

A lot of my clients are 鈥渢he strong one鈥� 鈥� capable, responsible, high-functioning 鈥� and quietly drowning. Maybe you look successful but feel like a fraud. Maybe you鈥檙e tired of holding it together, tired of being the one who copes.

You might have tried therapy before 鈥� got some tools, felt better for a while 鈥� but something still hasn鈥檛 shifted. Often that鈥檚 because the root hasn鈥檛 been worked with. Your struggles aren鈥檛 a character flaw. They鈥檙e adaptations that once helped you survive. That makes sense. And it can change.

I鈥檓 direct, warm, and practical. No jargon, no endless circling, no tiptoeing around what matters. We go at a pace that feels safe 鈥� but we don鈥檛 avoid the real work.

We usually move through three stages: stability first, then making sense of how the past shaped your patterns, then building change that actually shows up in your day-to-day life.

Sessions are 50 minutes. Transparent fees, confidential notes, and confidentiality within safeguarding limits. Brief email contact between sessions is fine. First chat is free 鈥� a chance to see if we鈥檙e a good fit.

This is a practice for adults who鈥檝e had to be 鈥渇ine鈥� for a long time. Especially if childhood was messy, unsafe, emotionally thin, or if you learned early to perform, please, or cope alone.

I specialise in working with the long tail of childhood trauma, relational trauma (when the harm happened in close relationships), and vicarious trauma (when you鈥檝e carried other people鈥檚 pain through caring, family roles, or work). The aim isn鈥檛 to label you 鈥� it鈥檚 to understand what your system learned to do to survive, and help you build something different.

What you can expect from me: I鈥檓 present, straightforward, and human. Sessions are a proper conversation. I鈥檒l reflect things back, name patterns, and help you track what鈥檚 happening in your body and reactions 鈥� not just the story. If you get overwhelmed, we slow down and stabilise. Safety and pacing matter, but we don鈥檛 spend months skirting the real issue either.

Sometimes therapy is deep and emotional. Sometimes it鈥檚 practical: grounding, boundaries, handling triggers, easing self-criticism, changing relationship dynamics. We鈥檒l keep checking what鈥檚 helping and adjust as we go.

You don鈥檛 have to be articulate. You just have to show up.

The first conversation is free and there's no obligation. It's not an assessment 鈥� it's just a chance to talk and see if we're a good fit.

You don't need to have your story straight or know what you want to work on. Most people start with "I'm not even sure why I'm here" or "I don't know where to begin." That's fine. We'll figure it out together.

I currently have limited availability for new clients.

My usual working hours are Monday鈥揟hursday 7am to 3pm, with some early evening appointments available. Sessions are by pre-booked appointment only.

If you鈥檇 like to enquire, please email with a brief outline of what you鈥檙e looking for and your general availability. I aim to respond within 24 hours (excluding weekends and bank holidays).

I specialise in supporting people who have experienced trauma. From Childhood, Relationship, Workplace.

My practice is a space where you can bring the bits you usually keep hidden. A lot of people I see look like they鈥檙e coping on the outside, but inside it鈥檚 anxiety, pressure, overthinking, people-pleasing, or feeling flat and disconnected.

We don鈥檛 have to rush into the past. We start with what鈥檚 going on now and what you want help with. As we go, we might link things back to earlier experiences 鈥� especially if childhood stuff (or family dynamics) still shows up in your confidence, relationships, boundaries, or how safe you feel in yourself.

I work in a trauma-informed way, which basically means we go at your pace and we keep an eye on what feels manageable. I鈥檒l help you make sense of patterns, feel what you鈥檝e had to push down, and build steadier ways of coping in daily life.

The first step is a free initial session where we can talk briefly about what鈥檚 bringing you to therapy and whether working together feels right. It鈥檚 also a space for you to ask questions about how I work, practicalities, and next steps. This is usually around 15 to 30 minutes
