Dr. George Lagios PhD (c), M.Sc. CBT, was born in 1978 in Athens, Greece, where he grew up and still resides.

His first formal academic career led him to pursue a degree in Business Administration from the American College of Greece. He later continued his studies and became a certified Derivatives and Stocks Advisor. While working in this very demanding field, George began to perceive and understand the role psychology played in the investment decisions that people made.

This need to connect with a more “human” aspect of life, led him to the creation of the NGO ‘Moirazomai’ in 2013. At the time, Greece was going through a severe economic crisis. George found a way to express his creative and giving nature by helping people that were struggling in their every day lives. ‘Moirazomai’ was the first online solidarity platform, distinguished for its unique and transparent contributions to people in need.

After feeling energized at helping so many people, George decided to study more about the human mind and human behavior. He enrolled in a postgraduate program of Clinical Psychology (Mastering Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) at the Hellenic American University, which is certified by the State of New Hampshire, U.S.A. Meanwhile, he attended numerous conferences seminars and workshops related to LGBTQI, psychiatric hospitalisation, mental health mediation in the work place, trauma and violence in refugees, bullying, mindfulness and more. In 2019 and 2020, his hard work and dedication were recognised and he got distinctions on his diplomas in sexual addictions and psychosexual therapy, from UK’s Open College. His active role in the University did not stop at being just a graduate student. He has also given lectures on various topics of which he is well versed in, such as the meaning of effective altruism, the significance of sharing—Moirazomai, sexual addiction, and how to manage financial stress.
