Dr. Panayiotis Papahristopoulos, HCPC

Dr. Panayiotis Papahristopoulos brings 20 years of professional experience to his practice in the United Kingdom. He is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). He aims to offer a respectful and compassionate space for people who are worried or unsure about starting therapy.

He works with common and often painful problems such as stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. He also helps with family conflict, parenting concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem and adjusting to life changes. Additional areas include adoption and foster care matters, blended family issues, caregiving strain, immigration concerns and obsessive-compulsive difficulties.

His stated approach is integrative. He uses cognitive behavioural methods alongside ideas from psychodynamic and systemic thinking. That means sessions often look at unhelpful thinking and everyday habits, while also paying attention to patterns that come from relationships and past experiences.

In practical terms he aims to tailor the way he talks and plans work to each person. That could mean short-term focus on coping skills or a longer conversation about repeated patterns in relationships. He notes that starting therapy can feel significant and that mixed feelings are normal.

Sessions are conducted in English and Greek. Prospective clients who wish to begin are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling according to the therapist's availability.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

His practice draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic and systemic ideas. Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and everyday habits and trying small practical changes to break unhelpful cycles; these methods are often used for anxiety, low mood and obsessive thinking. Psychodynamic ideas look at recurring patterns and how past experiences shape current reactions, which can help when relationships or repeated emotional responses are causing distress.

Finding the right blend is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which approaches suit their goals and preferences. That means adjusting the balance of practical skills and reflective conversation as therapy proceeds.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel, making it easier to schedule a short session during a work break, or removing the need to be on camera for every meeting. These practical benefits can make it easier to keep regular contact and continue the work between sessions.
