Taproot Psychology | Online Trauma Therapy | Black Psychologist UK | Online EMDR Therapy

Dimitrios is a counsellor with training in person centred therapy, cognitive analytic therapy, EMDR and trauma informed somatic interventions. In his work with his clients, he finds it meaningful to look past diagnostic labels such as depression and EUPD and work with the personal circumstances, difficult life experiences and the developmental trauma that leads many people to end up with such diagnoses, to suffer with difficult moods, thoughts, body symptoms and in their relationships.

In his 14 years in the UK, Dimitrios has worked with various demographics in the community sector, NHS and higher education. He has worked with people with ADHD, from various ethnic and cultural backgrounds, immigrants trying to make a better life away from their home countries. He has a strong interest in helping people overcome their trauma which significantly affects their life. That could be historic abuse and neglect, critical life events as well as ongoing difficulties in relationships with others and with themselves, often reflected in poor self-esteem, self-worth and confidence. All areas which are often significantly impacted by adverse life experiences.

In his experience, Dimitrios has witnessed people change their lives, the ways they see themselves, improve important relationships. He has helped people befriend aspects of themselves they could not bear, notice very potent parts of themselves that have helped them survive and get on with life, process difficult feelings and memories and resolve challenging internal conflicts. Therefore, he has a lot of hope that life can improve for a traumatised person and tries to inspire this in the people he works with.
