About Apostolos
Apostolos Fournaris is a BACP-registered psychodynamic counsellor in the United Kingdom with 18 years of professional experience. He works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, relationship strain and parenting stress. Sessions aim to understand patterns that repeat in everyday life and reduce the constant friction those patterns create.
He describes psychodynamic work as looking at both conscious and unconscious motives. That means talking about how early relationships and repeated ways of relating shape current reactions. Conversations can include why anger flares up, how resentment builds, and what keeps someone repeating the same responses.
Appointments can be short-term or longer-term and are usually once weekly. He also offers consultation, reflective group facilitation and psycho-educational support for organisations, plus brief interventions aimed at family concerns when appropriate. The emphasis is on clear, steady exploration rather than quick fixes.
His training includes a PhD in Psychoanalytic Studies in progress at the University of Essex and a Master of Arts in Psychodynamic Counselling from the University of Essex. He follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework.
Sessions are offered in English and Greek, and Apostolos accepts international clients. If someone wants to explore feelings linked to grief, identity, ADHD, trauma, or difficulties with intimacy and self-esteem, he works through the patterns behind those struggles and practical ways to respond differently.
To begin, a person completes a brief matching questionnaire and schedules a first session through the platform.
How sessions work
Psychodynamic approaches and online sessions
Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past relationships and repeated patterns influence current feelings and reactions. It helps people understand why anger or frustration turns up in certain situations and what unconscious motives may be driving those responses. This approach suits issues tied to attachment, recurring conflicts and long-standing emotional patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs during early meetings and together decide which aspects of psychodynamic work to use. That collaborative selection helps align the method with what the person hopes to change or understand.
The biography does not specify exact online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and reduce travel time. They also allow for flexible check-ins when someone needs a shorter conversation, or a longer weekly session when more reflection is needed. Registered or accredited professionals offering online work can help adapt psychodynamic conversations to a remote setting, keeping discussion focused on patterns, triggers and practical responses.
