About Apostolos
Apostolos Fournaris offers short and long term psychodynamic work for adults, children and adolescents. He aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can talk about anxiety, depression, loss, relationship strain, addiction and identity questions. Apostolos communicates in English and Greek and works from the United Kingdom.
He describes psychodynamic therapy as a way to understand the deeper feelings that shape actions and relationships. Sessions focus on how early attachments and life events influence present patterns. He listens for repeated behaviours and recurring emotional conflicts that people find hard to change on their own.
Apostolos also provides consultation and reflective groups for organisations such as schools, charities and businesses. He offers tailored psycho-educational support and short interventions designed to meet specific needs. He notes brief family interventions as one option when families want to explore and address particular problems.
His training includes an MA in Psychodynamic Counselling from the University of Essex, postgraduate foundations study at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, and further degrees in psychoanalytic studies and psychology. He follows the ethical frameworks of the BACP and the BPS.
People come to him wanting to understand grief, trauma, parenting stress, ADHD, eating and sleeping struggles, or difficulties with intimacy and self-esteem. He works to help each person recognise underlying patterns and make clearer choices about relationships and everyday life.
Psychodynamic perspectives and online therapy
Apostolos practises psychodynamic therapy, which looks at how early relationships and unconscious feelings shape how people behave now. This approach pays attention to recurring patterns, attachment themes and inner conflicts so people can better understand why they repeat certain choices or reactions.He sees therapy as a collaborative process. Together the therapist and client will decide whether psychodynamic work or another way of working better suits the person's goals and current needs. That conversation guides how sessions are organised and what to focus on over time.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the session formats offered before booking because formats are not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or for sessions where being on camera is optional to reduce visual strain. Many people find remote sessions help maintain continuity when life or location changes, while still allowing for reflective, deeper therapeutic work.
