About Aristogeiton
Aristogeiton "Ari" Sotiriou offers a calm, straightforward place to talk about stress and anxiety. He writes simply and listens closely so people can notice what keeps them stuck and try new ways of relating. Sessions focus on practical change alongside understanding feelings and patterns.
Ari holds a BACP credential, which is shown as BACP after his name. He has worked in independent practice in the United Kingdom for 11 years.
Background and approach
He speaks English, French and Greek and can meet people living in other countries when arrangements allow. His work draws on psychodynamic therapy. That means he pays attention to past relationships and repeated patterns that shape how someone reacts now.
He helps people link what happens in their present life with older experiences so they can make different choices. In sessions Ari balances listening with gentle interpretation. He helps people spot repeated reactions - for example with anxiety, self-esteem or relationship struggles - and then experiments with small changes.
He uses everyday language and practical ideas rather than jargon. People come to him for many concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions and communication problems. He also offers support around parenting strain, caregiving stress, eating and intimacy-related issues.
His goal is to help people find clearer ways to manage feelings and move forward. To start, people complete a short questionnaire and then book a time that fits their schedule. Ari works via video, phone, live chat or text messaging to make sessions easier to fit into busy lives.
Psychodynamic work and online therapy
Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past relationships shape current feelings and reactions. It helps people understand repeated patterns that feed anxiety, low self-esteem or difficulty with intimacy and relationships, and supports trying different responses.In sessions Ari listens for recurring themes and links between past and present. He offers observations that help people test new ways of relating and managing emotions, using simple language rather than jargon. This approach can be helpful for stress, relationship concerns, grief and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ari will collaborate with each person to decide what fits best based on their goals and preferences. That might mean focusing on past patterns one week and practical coping skills the next.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when useful, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options give flexibility around time zones and schedules while keeping the focus on consistent, ongoing work with a registered or accredited professional.
