About Apostolos
Apostolos Fournaris is a counsellor with 18 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety and a wide range of life challenges. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where adults can talk about what feels difficult. He communicates in English and Greek and works with clients across the United Kingdom and internationally.
His main approach is psychodynamic therapy, which looks at how past relationships and hidden patterns shape current feelings and behaviour.
Background and approach
Sessions can be short term or longer term, usually weekly, and are tailored to what each person needs. He also provides consultation, reflective group facilitation and psycho-educational support for organisations such as schools, charities and businesses. Apostolos has academic training that includes postgraduate study in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic subjects and a BSc in psychology.
He holds BACP recognition and follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework. He is working towards a PhD in Psychoanalytic Studies. He can support people with concerns such as depression, grief and bereavement, trauma and abuse, substance misuse and addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting and family matters, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger and low self-esteem.
He also works with issues linked to identity, neurodiversity and life transitions. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging and can be arranged to suit individual schedules. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment according to the available times.
Psychodynamic approaches online and practical session formats
Psychodynamic therapy seeks to uncover patterns that come from earlier relationships and repeating behaviours. Online sessions use conversation to help people see why they may repeat the same emotional responses and to increase self-understanding. This approach can be helpful for issues like anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and long-standing emotional patterns.He also offers brief interventions and psycho-educational support aimed at specific problems or organisational needs. These shorter, focused conversations can help with practical coping strategies, understanding reactions to change, and offering guidance for schools or workplaces that need tailored input.
Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then agree a plan together. Clients are invited to give feedback so the approach can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online therapy is practical and flexible. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or suit lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins, written reflection or support without scheduling a full call. These options make it easier to arrange sessions around work, family or travel commitments while keeping continuity in care.
