Theodoros is a clinical psychologist, psychoanalytic psychotherapist, group analyst and systemic psychotherapist, and also works as an organisational consultant.

He has translated into Greek Nancy McWilliams' Psychoanalytic Supervision and Susan Howard's Skills in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy (2nd edn), as well as poetry. He writes for a number of journals and magazines and presents at conferences. He is undertaking the Professional Doctorate in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy at the University of Essex, researching containment in online psychoanalytic psychotherapy with patients of borderline personality organisation.
