He holds a Ba in History, a BSc in Psychology, a Master in Clinical Psychoanalysis with a specialization on Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, a Master in Counselling with a specialization on Integrative Psychotherapy for Anxiety Disorders, a doctoral level clinical training in Psychoanalysis and a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology with a specialization on Panic Disorder. Pericles Goudopoulos has an experience of more than 14.000 clinical sessions exclusively with patients diagnosed with Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia from diverse cultural and social backgrounds. As a clinician, he practices from an integrative understanding that brings together the most effective techniques from a rich theoretical and therapeutic tradition. Within this understanding he is particularly interested in five central themes with each unique patient:

1. A relationship of therapeutic trust between the therapist and the patient
2. A fast reduction in the somatic symptoms of Panic Disorder
3. A mutual understanding between the therapist and the patient of any psychological difficulties other than panic, which may prevent a complete therapy for panic.
4. A strong relapse prevention psychology.
5. A global, continuous and timely psychometric assessment of the patient.

As a diagnostician he subscribes to the DSM and ICD methodologies of the American Psychiatric Association and the World Health Organization respectively and offers services within the ethical framework of both the American Psychological Association and the British Psychological Society. He founded the International Association for Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia, the European Centre for Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia, the Hellenic Association for Anxiety Disorders and the Hellenic Centre for Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia.
