Apostolos Fournaris, BACP

Apostolos Fournaris helps people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to begin. He meets adults, children and adolescents who are dealing with anxiety, depression, loss, addiction, family tensions or questions about identity. He explains things plainly and aims to offer a steady, non-judgemental space for conversation.

His main approach is psychodynamic therapy, which looks at patterns in thinking and relationship styles that often run below conscious awareness. Sessions aim to notice repeated behaviours and feelings, and to understand where they may have come from. This can make everyday choices and relationships feel clearer.

He offers both short and long term weekly therapy and also provides consultations, reflective group facilitation and psycho-educational support tailored to organisations such as schools, charities and businesses. Brief interventions for families are also part of his work when a short-term focus is needed.

He holds a BACP accreditation, and his training includes postgraduate work at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust and the University of Essex. His CV also includes a PhD in Psychoanalytic Studies that is ongoing.

Sessions are conducted in English and Greek. Apostolos works from the United Kingdom and accepts international clients; please confirm current session formats before booking. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How psychodynamic thinking adapts to online therapy

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on how past relationships and hidden patterns influence current feelings and behaviour. In simple terms it helps people notice repeated ways of reacting and where those patterns might come from, which can be useful for issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and identity questions.

Psychodynamic work also pays attention to current relationships and emotional conflicts between different parts of the self. Talking through these patterns in regular sessions can reveal why certain situations keep repeating and help a person make different choices over time.

Finding the right style of therapy is usually a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and any practical needs and then suggest an approach that fits. This collaborative planning can include trying a few different ways of working to see what feels most useful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and offer shorter check-ins when that suits. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their pace and focus to match each person's life and goals.
