Apostolos Fournaris, BACP

Apostolos Fournaris offers supportive, thoughtful therapy for adults seeking to understand and change difficult patterns. He speaks English and Greek and draws on 18 years of professional experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, loss, addiction and other struggles. Apostolos aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on the concerns you bring.

He works from a psychodynamic perspective, which looks at how past relationships and unconscious patterns influence present behaviour. Sessions often involve talking through repeating patterns, strong feelings and difficult memories to discover what may be driving them. This can help people make different choices or come to terms with things they cannot change.

Apostolos offers both short-term and longer-term weekly psychotherapy. He also provides consultation and reflective group facilitation, plus psycho-educational support tailored for schools, charities and businesses. He has experience working with issues such as parenting, grief, trauma and gender identity alongside mood and anxiety concerns.

He holds a Master of Arts in Psychodynamic Counselling from the University of Essex, a postgraduate foundation from the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. He is currently engaged in doctoral study in psychoanalytic research.

Sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Apostolos accepts international clients and aims to match therapy to each person’s needs, whether the goal is practical change, greater self-understanding or support through a life transition.

Psychodynamic work online and practical session options

Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to how early relationships and life experiences shape current feelings and behaviour. In sessions the focus is often on noticing repeating patterns, strong emotions and beliefs that feel automatic, which can help explain why someone acts or feels a certain way.

Finding the right way of working is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide whether short-term focused work or longer weekly psychotherapy best fits the situation. The aim is to tailor the approach to the person's needs, not to force a single method.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or mobility are limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, ongoing reflection between meetings or when written communication feels easier. These choices offer flexibility for different schedules and practical needs.
