About Apostolos
Apostolos Fournaris is a BACP-registered psychodynamic counsellor with 18 years of clinical experience. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people who are worried about stress, anxiety, addiction, depression or changes in their relationships and family life. He also supports those facing issues like grief, identity questions, parenting strain and difficulties with sleep or eating.
Apostolos uses a psychodynamic approach that looks at how past relationships and unconscious patterns shape current feelings and actions. Sessions are offered in ways that suit the individual, from shorter focused work to longer weekly psychotherapy, and he is clear that each person’s path is different.
His background includes postgraduate training in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic studies, with ongoing doctoral research at the University of Essex. He has experience supporting adults, children and adolescents, and offers consultation and psycho-educational work to organisations such as schools and charities.
In practical terms Apostolos speaks English and Greek and can work with international clients. He follows the professional frameworks of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and the British Psychological Society as part of his practice.
People who choose to work with him can expect a reflective space to talk through recurring patterns, emotional conflicts and life stresses. He can also provide shorter interventions for specific problems and group facilitation tailored to organisational needs.
Psychodynamic work and online therapy options
Apostolos bases his practice in psychodynamic ideas, which means he pays attention to how early attachments and recurring patterns influence present feelings and relationships. This approach can help when someone keeps repeating the same problems or wants to understand hidden motivations behind their feelings.He also draws on psychoanalytic concepts to look at deeper emotional conflicts and inner parts that compete for attention. That kind of work can be useful for people dealing with long-standing anxiety, grief or patterns that feel stuck.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and together they will decide whether brief focused work or longer weekly psychotherapy is the better fit. The process can change as priorities shift.
For practicalities, the profile does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm the available formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between appointments. Some formats use less bandwidth or do shorter phone check-ins when that suits the person better. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the pace and length of sessions to suit everyday life while keeping therapeutic aims in view.
