About Apostolos

Apostolos Fournaris offers short and long term psychodynamic therapy for adults and young people. He aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through anxiety, depression, loss, relationship worries, addiction concerns and questions about identity. Sessions are offered in English and Greek and he practises in the United Kingdom.

With 18 years of professional experience Apostolos uses psychodynamic ideas to help people understand patterns in their relationships and behaviour. He explains how past attachments and early experiences can shape current responses. In sessions he helps clients notice repeated reactions, explore inner conflicts, and make sense of feelings that feel confusing or overwhelming.

His background includes postgraduate study at the Tavistock and Portman and multiple degrees in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic subjects. Apostolos follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework and is listed with BACP.

He also provides consultation and reflective group facilitation for organisations such as schools and charities. He offers psycho-educational support tailored to organisational needs and short-term interventions where a brief focused input is helpful.

People who want to begin are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. International clients may be accepted and practical arrangements are agreed when booking.

How psychodynamic ideas work in online therapy

Apostolos draws on psychodynamic thinking to help people understand repeating patterns and hidden feelings. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how early attachments and past relationships shape current behaviour, helping people identify recurring responses and emotional conflicts that influence daily life. He often helps clients notice where past experiences turn up in present relationships and in choices they keep making. That kind of reflection can be useful for issues such as anxiety, grief, addiction and difficulties with intimacy or identity. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with each person and decide together how to adapt psychodynamic ideas to meet their needs. This is a collaborative process that can change as the work progresses. Practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions into a busy routine and reducing travel time so therapy feels easier to attend. Online options may also make it simpler to have shorter check-ins or to choose communication styles that suit someone better. Confirm the exact session formats available with the therapist before booking so arrangements match your schedule and requirements.
