About me
Hi, I’m Marios, a BACP-registered Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, award-winning behavioural scientist and published author. I work with adults who feel anxious, stressed, low, stuck or unsure how to move forward. My approach draws on CBT, behavioural science and mindfulness. You may be facing work or study pressure, relationship difficulties, life changes, self-doubt, cultural adjustment, or patterns involving habits, lifestyle, wellbeing or weight-management goals that you want to understand and change. I offer a calm, thoughtful space to make sense of what is happening, explore what matters to you and find practical ways forward.
I help adults understand patterns in how they think, feel and respond, and develop practical ways to move forward with greater clarity and confidence. Sessions take an integrative and personalised approach that may include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness practices and behaviour-change tools, tailored to your goals, pace, strengths and wider life context.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and you do not need to have everything figured out before beginning. We can start with whatever feels difficult, confusing or stuck. I offer a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, supported and understood as we work towards change.
Therapy sessions are available in English and Greek.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
