About Me
I am Georgia Giannopoulou, an integrative psychotherapist working with individuals and couples.
My approach combines relational, psychodynamic and embodied perspectives. I believe lasting change happens when we move beyond intellectual understanding and begin to experience ourselves differently, emotionally, physically and relationally.
Therapy with me is thoughtful, collaborative and depth-oriented.
I work particularly well with people who are curious about themselves and willing to engage in a meaningful process of self-exploration.
I work in-person in the city centre of Newcastle upon Tyne and across the UK online, offering a flexible hybrid approach — in‑person sessions, online sessions, or a combination of the two.
Welcome
UKCP Integrative Psychotherapist and Relationship Therapist
Therapy is not only about reducing symptoms.
It is about understanding who you are, how you came to be this way, and what continues to shape your relationships, choices and emotional life today.
Together we explore:
-
Emotional and relational patterns
-
Attachment and intimacy
-
Identity and life transitions
-
Anxiety, overwhelm and burnout
-
Self-worth and perfectionism
-
The connection between mind, body and emotion
-
Meaning, purpose and fulfilment
The aim is not simply to cope better.
It is to live more freely, authentically and in deeper connection with yourself and others.
You are thoughtful, capable, and self-aware.
Yet you may find yourself
-
Repeating the same frustrating relationship patterns
-
Feeling stuck despite years of reflection and personal growth
-
Struggling with anxiety beneath a calm or accomplished exterior
-
Facing a period of transition, loss, uncertainty or change which may be related to your life stage or a significant event, loss or change
-
Experiencing burnout, perfectionism or relentless self-criticism
-
Wondering why achievement has not brought the fulfilment you expected
-
Feeling disconnected from yourself, your body or what truly matters
Many of the people I work with are high-functioning professionals, academics and creatives who have spent years making sense of themselves intellectually, yet continue to feel emotionally stuck.
A Cross‑Cultural Perspective
Originally from Greece and living in the UK for over 20 years, I understand what it means to build a life across cultures, languages and identities. This lived experience deeply informs my work. I am strongly attuned to intersectionality and the ways our social, cultural and relational contexts shape our inner world as well as power, priviledge and disempowerment and how these play out in our lives.
I am bilingual and offer therapy in both English and Greek in-person and online for those who live far from Newcastle or who prefer to work remotely.
How I Work
As a therapist my style is direct, holding, warm and empathic. I bring an analytical mind and a creative spirit to the therapeutic process, helping you explore and express patterns and scripts in your life as well as emotions and relationships with courage and depth. I am comfortable and containing sitting with difficult stories and feelings and I am also comfortable to challenge when appropriate.
My approach is:
-
Collaborative — We work together, at your pace, on what matters most to you.
-
Grounded in robust training and experience — You can expect professionalism, clarity and a strong therapeutic frame/boundaries.
-
Human and relational — The relationship we build is central to the work.
-
Adaptable — Therapy is shaped around your needs and not slave to method and theory.
Services
Below are the services I currently offer. Please get in touch to discuss or to make an appointment.
Individual Psychotherapy
A one-on-one safe space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with support and care. Individual psychotherapy helps you build insight, develop healthy strategies for living, and work through challenges at your own pace, so you can feel empowered and confident to make decisions and live a full life.
Yoga-Informed Therapy
Somatic therapy (yoga) and embodiment informs my therapy practice throughout. I can also offer a tailor-made 6-session course of therapy that integrates breathwork-gentle movement, mindfulness and talking to support emotional regulation, help release stuckness and envision a freer and empowered sense of self.
Relationship Therapy
A supportive space for partners of all genders and orientations as well as relationship diversity, to help improve communication, build trust, and deepen connection.
Relationship therapy can help you understand patterns, navigate conflict more effectively, and strengthen your relationship so you can move forward with clarity and creativity.
Clinical Supervision
I am an experienced and qualified clinical supervisor accredited with UKCP.
I offer regular supervision to counsellors and psychotherapists qualified in the Humanistic Integrative Modality or Transactional Analysis, but can also work across modalities. My supervision practice is intuitive with strong theoretical underpinnings, grounded in ethical practice but also creativity and unconscious processing.
I also offer clinical supervision to relationship/couple counsellors individually or in groups.
Therapy in Greek
I offer therapy Greek for individuals who feel most comfortable expressing themselves in their native language, in person and remotely.
As a Greek therapist, I provide culturally attuned support that allows for deeper understanding, authenticity, and connection throughout the therapeutic process.
CPD
I am an experienced trainer and group worker and I run CPD workshops on various topics. I also run CPD groups on demand.
