Apostolos Fournaris offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck. He aims to make the first steps easy to take and to create space for honest conversation. Apostolos speaks English and Greek and works with adults on a wide range of concerns.
He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Apostolos uses a psychodynamic approach, which looks at early attachments and repeated patterns that shape how people relate now.
Background and approach
Sessions can help when worries, grief, addiction or questions about identity affect day-to-day life. He provides both short-term and longer-term weekly psychotherapy depending on what someone needs. He has 18 years of clinical experience and academic training in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic studies.
His background includes postgraduate foundations at the Tavistock and Portman and master’s degrees from the University of Essex, with current doctoral work in psychoanalytic studies. Apostolos follows the ethical frameworks of the BACP and the BPS. Alongside individual therapy, he offers consultation, reflective group facilitation and tailored psycho-educational work for schools, charities and businesses.
He also provides brief interventions for family matters and targeted support for parenting-related strain when needed. Sessions are available online through video, phone, live chat or text messaging. International clients can be seen, and appointments are arranged via a short matching questionnaire and scheduling process.
Psychodynamic work online and practical session choices
Apostolos primarily works from a psychodynamic perspective. That approach looks at how early relationships and repeated patterns influence feelings and behaviour today. It can help people understand why they repeat certain reactions and how childhood attachments shape current struggles with anxiety, mood or intimacy.Psychodynamic therapy often focuses on feelings that operate beneath conscious awareness. Through regular sessions, someone can begin to notice recurring themes and make new choices rather than acting on old patterns. This can be useful for long-standing issues such as grief, trauma, addiction or identity questions.
Finding the right method is a shared task. Apostolos will discuss goals and preferences and try different ways of working to find what fits best. That collaborative approach means the therapy can be adapted as needs change over time.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from another location. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to use video or who need a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between calls or to have shorter, more frequent touchpoints. These options help fit therapy around work, travel and family commitments while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
