Marios Georgiou

Marios is a personal development and emotional wellbeing coach who supports individuals in navigating challenges such as self-doubt, motivation blocks, emotional intensity, and interpersonal struggles. With a Master of Science in Psychology (Distinction) from Birkbeck, University of London, and ongoing doctoral studies in Counselling Psychology at City, University of London, Marios brings an informed and reflective approach to helping individuals reshape the narratives that hold them back.

Focus Areas

Marios supports clients who are navigating:

• Emotional dependency and intense attachment (often described as limerence)
• Low mood and lack of direction
• Social and general anxiety
• Self-esteem struggles
• Motivation issues and procrastination
• Limiting self-beliefs and inner criticism

He is especially experienced in working with individuals dealing with patterns of emotional preoccupation and attachment-related difficulties, including limerence — a subject he has explored with over 200 clients in one-on-one work.

Approach to Coaching

Marios adopts a deeply integrative and person-centred approach to coaching, combining insight from humanistic and psychodynamic thinking with practical strategies where needed. While grounded in theory, his coaching is flexible and shaped by each client’s real-life circumstances, identity, and personal goals.

For clients who benefit from structure and clarity, Marios may incorporate reflective tools and mindset-based strategies influenced by Cognitive Behavioural principles — always within a coaching framework and adapted to the person, not the label.

Coaching Philosophy

Marios believes in meeting each person with empathy, curiosity, and respect. His coaching aims to support individuals in understanding themselves more fully, challenging unhelpful patterns, and aligning their decisions with values and aspirations. His work is relational, growth-oriented, and inclusive — comfortable exploring topics around identity, race, sexuality, and belonging.

With research experience exploring the genetic underpinnings of anxiety, depression, and loneliness in the context of personality, Marios also brings a unique appreciation for the interplay between biology, environment, and personal history — helping clients find compassion in their self-reflection.
