About Apostolos

Apostolos Fournaris is a BACP-registered psychodynamic counsellor with 18 years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. He works with adults, children and adolescents and offers help for a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression, addiction and relationship difficulties.

He uses psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns that repeat across time and relationships. Sessions look at feelings, memories and repeated responses that can influence how someone behaves now. Apostolos explains how early attachments and unconscious motives can shape current reactions and relationships.

He provides both long-term and short-term weekly psychotherapy, and also offers consultation and reflective group facilitation for organisations such as schools, charities and businesses. He describes brief interventions available to families and psycho-educational support tailored to organisational needs.

Apostolos holds a range of academic qualifications in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic studies, including postgraduate work at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust and degrees from the University of Essex. He follows the BACP and BPS ethical frameworks in his practice.

Sessions are conducted in English and Greek and international clients are accepted. People who want to begin can use the site's matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see whether this way of working fits their current needs.

Psychodynamic work and online sessions

Apostolos uses psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring themes in relationships and behaviour. This approach pays attention to feelings, memories and the ways people repeat old patterns. It can be helpful for anxiety, relationship issues, grief and trauma because it aims to bring hidden motives and attachments into awareness.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. He will work together with each person to decide whether longer weekly psychotherapy or a shorter brief intervention is the best fit, considering the person's goals, current stresses and preferences.

Please confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. They also allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is not needed and can make regular work and caring commitments easier to manage.
