About Apostolos
Apostolos Fournaris is a BACP-registered psychodynamic counsellor with 18 years of professional experience. He offers psychotherapy aimed at adults and lists concerns including anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, relationship and parenting difficulties, grief, identity and mood issues. Sessions can support people dealing with life changes, ADHD, intimacy problems or struggles with eating and sleeping.
He explains psychodynamic work in plain terms. The focus is on how past relationships and unconscious patterns shape present behaviour. Sessions look at recurring reactions, emotional conflicts and the ways people attach to others. This can help someone understand why they repeat certain patterns and how early experiences still affect them now.
Apostolos provides both shorter-term and longer-term weekly therapy and also offers consultation and reflective groups for organisations. He mentions work with adults, children and adolescents in his biography. He follows the BACP and the BPS ethical frameworks.
He trained on psychodynamic courses at the Tavistock and Portman and the University of Essex, and holds postgraduate qualifications in psychoanalytic studies and psychodynamic counselling. He is currently completing a PhD in Psychoanalytic Studies.
Sessions are offered in English and Greek, and he accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online therapy options button.
Psychodynamic approaches and online sessions
Apostolos works from a psychodynamic perspective. Psychodynamic therapy looks at how early attachments and past experiences shape present feelings and actions. It can be useful for relationship patterns, persistent anxiety, repeated behaviours and questions about identity.He also describes psychoanalytic-informed study and reflective practice. That work emphasises attention to unconscious motives and internal conflicts that can drive anger, addictive behaviour or relationship difficulties. These methods aim to help someone notice repeated reactions and consider different options for relating to others.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss goals, preferences and how people respond in early sessions and make adjustments as needed. The process is collaborative and focuses on what feels most helpful for the person's situation.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around study, work and moves between locations. It may also allow shorter check-ins, less travel time and easier access when someone is living abroad or in a different time zone. Registered or accredited professionals can work with people internationally, and practical arrangements are agreed when scheduling.
