Dimitrios Kouklakis

Professional Profile

  Hello, I am Dimitrios, a fully qualified and BABCP-accredited experienced CBT therapist and BACP-registered counsellor, working with Think CBT in London. I have accumulated over a thousand clinical hours supporting individuals experiencing psychological and emotional distress, helping them develop practical strategies to improve their mental well-being and cope with life’s challenges.While CBT is my primary approach, I draw from a range of therapeutic methods, tailoring each session to your unique needs so the process is both effective, efficiant and personal.   In our sessions, you’ll find a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you can speak openly. I bring warmth, empathy, and professionalism, and I believe that a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship is the foundation for progress and growth./div>   In 2007, I earned a Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy from the esteemed School of Psychology at the University of East London. Building on this foundation, I completed a second PGDip in Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapies in 2020 at Royal Holloway, University of London, one of the UK’s and Europe’s leading academic institutions. I am an accredited member of the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP), a qualified integrative counsellor, and a registered member of both the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) and the European Association for Counselling (EAC).   I have extensive experience working across a wide range of mental health settings and client groups. I have provided professional services to highly respected organisations, charities, and institutions, including the NHS, MIND, and Change Grow Live (CGL), in hospitals, medical centres, drug and alcohol services, military campuses, schools, and privately as an Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA) Therapist. My clinical expertise spans assessment and treatment of both adults and young people presenting with anxiety and affective disorders—such as depression, GAD, OCD, social anxiety, health anxiety, specific phobias, PTSD, panic disorder, and agoraphobia—as well as ADHD, autism, other neurodiverse presentations, substance misuse, and personal, relational, and familial difficulties.   I work under high levels of professional supervision and collaborate closely with other mental health practitioners. I adhere to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines and stay up to date with the latest developments in CBT and integrative psychotherapy to ensure the most effective treatment outcomes for my clients.   I adhere to the policies and ethical standards set by the BABCP and hold full professional indemnity to practice as a therapist in the UK and Ireland.
