Zacharias Vogiatzis

I’m Dr Zach Vogiatzis, a Chartered Counselling Psychologist (HCPC registered) at The Psychology Clinics in Central London (W1W) and online. Many people come to therapy after a long period of pushing through, functioning outwardly while privately feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low, or emotionally stuck. Often there are repeating patterns in relationships (people-pleasing, overcontrol, emotional withdrawal, fear of conflict) alongside growing pressure, shame, self-criticism or burnout.

For some people, stress also shows up physically: gut symptoms, migraines, chest tightness, dizziness, fatigue or persistent tension, even when medical tests have been reassuring. When the nervous system stays activated for long periods, the mind and body can get caught in a cycle of monitoring, fear and avoidance that keeps symptoms going.

My work is relational, depth-oriented and focused. My core framework is emotion-focused and ISTDP-informed, and I’m also a DIT practitioner (Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy). We pay close attention to what happens in real time, including the pull to explain, please, withdraw or shut down, so we can understand what maintains the cycle and practise new ways of responding. The aim is not only symptom relief, but a more grounded capacity to feel, think and relate with greater freedom, clarity and steadiness.

If you’re looking for therapy that is active, experiential,
and that attends to the links between emotions, relationships and the body, I’d be glad to help.
