About Apostolos

Apostolos Fournaris offers therapy for adults and young people who are feeling overwhelmed by life changes, loss, anxiety, or relationship strain. He aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them. Sessions are offered in English and Greek, and international clients are accepted.

Apostolos uses a psychodynamic approach to help people understand patterns that repeat in their lives. He will often look at how early relationships shape present behaviour and emotional reactions. Work can focus on making sense of anxiety, grief, addiction, identity questions and difficulties with intimacy or self-worth.

He has 18 years of professional experience and follows the ethical frameworks of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the British Psychological Society (BPS). His academic background includes postgraduate study in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic fields.

Sessions can be short-term or long-term and are usually scheduled once weekly, depending on what someone needs. In addition to individual psychotherapy, he offers consultations, reflective group facilitation and psycho-educational support tailored to organisations such as schools and charities.

People looking to start are invited to use the site's Start Therapy process, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Fees vary with location and a subscription model is used that can be cancelled at any time.

How psychodynamic work translates to online therapy

A psychodynamic approach explores recurring feelings and behaviour patterns that often have roots in early relationships. It involves talking about emotions, memories and current relationships to help make sense of why certain reactions keep happening. This style can help with anxiety, grief, identity questions and patterns linked to addiction or intimacy difficulties.

Some clients benefit from shorter, focused work while others prefer longer weekly sessions to look at deeper themes. Choosing the right way of working is a joint process. The therapist will discuss goals, timing and how much continuity a person wants before deciding together on the best approach.

If you are considering remote sessions, please confirm exact formats when booking as the biography does not list specific online or in-person options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow regular weekly meetings from different locations. It can also allow quieter check-ins or shorter sessions when needed, helping therapy to fit around family, work or other commitments.
