About Jimi
BACP counsellor Jimi Dimitrios Katsis has 25 years' experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship strains. He works with issues such as self-esteem, addiction, parenting concerns and major life changes. Jimi also lists focal areas including intimacy-related difficulties, grief, ADHD and complex feelings like abandonment and emptiness.
Jimi uses a mix of straightforward talking and practical skills. He listens to the events that shaped a person's thinking and behaviour. He then helps people notice patterns that cause pain and practises ways to respond differently in everyday life.
His approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centred work. That means sessions balance looking at thoughts and behaviours with attention to values and what matters most to the person. He also uses techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relevant.
Sessions tend to focus on clear, manageable steps rather than long lectures. Jimi supports people to try things between meetings and reflect on what helps or hinders progress. He can talk through relationship problems, communication issues, codependency, and sexual culture topics such as BDSM and kink without judgement.
People often contact him when life's demands feel overwhelming or when past experiences keep shaping present choices. He encourages honest conversation about difficult feelings like guilt and shame and helps people sort out what to do next.
To begin, he asks for a short matching questionnaire and an initial scheduling step so the first conversation can be arranged.
How Jimi uses ACT, CBT and person-centred work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters most. It helps people carry on with chosen actions even when uncomfortable emotions appear, which can be useful for persistent guilt or shame.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-directive stance where the counsellor listens and reflects. This approach supports people who need time to make sense of painful experiences before deciding on next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what seems most helpful based on the person's goals and preferences, and adapt methods over time. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs shift.
