About Apostolos
Apostolos Fournaris is a counsellor with 18 years of professional experience who offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk things through. He works in English and Greek and is based in the United Kingdom. Apostolos follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, ethical framework.
He uses a psychodynamic approach and offers both shorter and longer weekly therapy. Sessions look at patterns in relationships, feelings about loss and grief, anxiety, addiction, sleep and eating issues, and how people relate to themselves and others. He also provides consultation, reflective groups and psycho-educational support for organisations, and brief interventions to families when appropriate.
Apostolos sees how early relationships and hidden motives can shape current behaviour. He helps people notice recurring patterns and the feelings that sit under them. That can make it easier to try new ways of responding to difficult situations.
His work includes support around trauma, gender identity, substance misuse, parenting stresses, self-esteem and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar difficulties. He also offers help with intimacy-related issues, anger and coping with life changes.
Apostolos has postgraduate training from the Tavistock and the University of Essex, and he is working towards a PhD in Psychoanalytic Studies. He describes psychotherapy as a collaborative exploration that may aim for change or greater acceptance of things that cannot be altered.
Psychodynamic work and online therapy options
Apostolos primarily practises psychodynamic therapy, a way of talking that pays attention to how early relationships and hidden feelings shape current behaviour and relationships. This approach helps when patterns repeat, when people struggle with grief or identity questions, or when anxiety and sleep problems link back to difficult feelings.He also draws on long- and short-term psychotherapy ideas within a psychodynamic frame, which can support both deeper work and focused problem-solving depending on your goals. Together you would decide whether a longer weekly course or a shorter intervention better suits the issue at hand.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with you to choose the style and length of therapy that match your needs, goals and preferences. This means checking how you respond to the psychodynamic way of exploring patterns and adjusting the plan as you go.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow quieter, regular contact that helps maintain momentum between sessions. It can also offer options that suit different communication preferences and schedules.
