Ο Φώτης Κούκος είναι Κλινικός Ψυχολόγος και διατηρεί ιδιωτικό γραφείο στο Κουκάκι. Η επαγγελματική του πορεία σε διαφορετικά πλαίσια τού έχει προσφέρει εμπειρία με ευρύ φάσμα ηλικιών, αναγκών και βαθμού κλινικής δυσκολίας. Στο Ψυχιατρικό Νοσοκομείο Αθαλάσσας απέκτησε εμπειρία στη διαχείριση πιο σύνθετων κλινικών περιστατικών και ζητημάτων ψυχικής υγείας. Στο ΣΤΕΠ ΦΡΩ της Εθνικής Φρουράς εργάστηκε με μεγάλο αριθμό νεαρών ενηλίκων, υποστηρίζοντας τόσο δυσκολίες προσαρμογής στη στρατιωτική ζωή όσο και πιο σύνθετες ψυχολογικές ανάγκες. Μέσα από τη συνεργασία του με το Hope For Children και την εργασία του ως Ψυχολόγος - Υπεύθυνος Προστασίας Παιδικών Δικαιωμάτων στο Τ.Υ.Π.Ε.Τ., απέκτησε εμπειρία στην υποστήριξη παιδιών και γονέων, καθώς και σε ζητήματα προστασίας και ευημερίας των παιδιών. Στον Συμβουλευτικό Σταθμό «Άγιος Γεώργιος» Ταμασών – ΚΕΝΘΕΑ και στο Altius Mind Institute εργάστηκε με ένα ευρύ ηλικιακό φάσμα και διαφορετικά αιτήματα συμβουλευτικής και ψυχολογικής υποστήριξης, αποκτώντας παράλληλα σημαντική εμπειρία στο ιδιωτικό θεραπευτικό πλαίσιο. Η μετεκπαίδευσή του περιλαμβάνει Inner Relationship Focusing (IRF), το οποίο έχει ολοκληρώσει, καθώς και Θεραπεία Εστιασμένη στο Συναίσθημα (EFT) και Θεραπεία Εστιασμένη για ζευγάρια (EFT-C), στις οποίες συνεχίζει την εκπαίδευσή του.  Η θεραπευτική του προσέγγιση βασίζεται στην πεποίθηση ότι η αλλαγή ξεκινά μέσα από μια σχέση ασφάλειας, αποδοχής και γνησιότητας. Μέσα από τη θεραπευτική διαδικασία, δίνεται χώρος στην κατανόηση των συναισθημάτων, των αναγκών και των μοτίβων που επηρεάζουν τον τρόπο με τον οποίο σχετιζόμαστε με τον εαυτό μας και τους άλλους. Ιδιαίτερη έμφαση δίνεται στην προσπάθεια να αναγνωριστούν οι ενήλικες πλευρές του εαυτού μας που μπορούν να σταθούν με φροντίδα απέναντι στις πιο ευάλωτες πλευρές μας , στα «εσωτερικά μας παιδιά». Όχι για να σβήσουμε όσα έχουμε ζήσει, αλλά για να μπορέσουμε να τα κατανοήσουμε, να τα φροντίσουμε και να δημιουργήσουμε νέους, πιο ασφαλείς τρόπους να υπάρχουμε στις σχέσεις και στη ζωή μας. Με εμπειρία σε ζητήματα όπως το άγχος, η αυτοεκτίμηση, η συναισθηματική ρύθμιση, οι διαπροσωπικές σχέσεις, το τραύμα, το πένθος και ο θυμός, αλλά και σε θέματα σεξουαλικού προσανατολισμού, ταυτότητας φύλου και διαφορετικότητας, δημιουργεί ένα συμπεριληπτικό και χωρίς επικρίσεις θεραπευτικό πλαίσιο, προσαρμοσμένο στη μοναδικότητα κάθε ανθρώπου. Η θεραπεία είναι ένας χώρος συνάντησης με τον εαυτό: με όσα νιώσαμε, όσα χρειαστήκαμε, όσα αφήσαμε πίσω και με τον ενήλικα που μπορούμε σήμερα να γίνουμε για εμάς.
