Apostolos Fournaris , BACP

Apostolos Fournaris offers practical, respectful support for people facing anxiety, stress, loss and relationship worries. He works in English and Greek and brings 18 years of clinical experience to conversations about identity, addiction, parenting and changes in life circumstances.

Apostolos uses a psychodynamic approach to help people understand patterns that repeat in their lives. He invites clients to look at how early relationships and hidden motivations shape current feelings and choices. Sessions can be short term or longer term depending on the concern.

He has experience supporting people with grief, trauma and issues around gender and sexuality, as well as matters such as sleep, eating and self-esteem. He also offers work around ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, anger and compulsive behaviours like substance misuse.

In addition to one-to-one psychotherapy, Apostolos provides consultation and reflective group facilitation for organisations. He also develops psycho-educational sessions tailored to schools, charities and businesses and offers brief family interventions when appropriate.

He holds a BACP credential and has completed postgraduate studies in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic subjects. Apostolos follows professional ethical frameworks and frames therapy as a collaborative exploration rather than a one-size-fits-all cure.

People who want to explore who they are, shift repeating patterns, or find ways to cope with difficult feelings will find an open, non-judgemental space in his practice. He aims to make therapy understandable and relevant to everyday life.

How psychodynamic work translates to online therapy

Apostolos primarily uses psychodynamic therapy, which pays attention to recurring patterns, early relationships and unconscious motives. In sessions he helps people reflect on how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviour, which can be useful for anxiety, relationship struggles, identity questions and grief.

Psychodynamic work often involves talking freely about thoughts and feelings and noticing patterns that emerge between client and counsellor. This approach can be taken in longer term or short term ways, and the therapist will work with each person to decide how deep or brief the work should be based on their needs and goals.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for this kind of reflective work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can feel simpler when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use brief, focused support when time is short.

The therapist treats choosing the right method as a collaborative process. He will discuss goals, preferences and practicalities with the client and adapt the format as the work progresses, making it easier to fit therapy around everyday life.
