About Aristogeiton

Aristogeiton "Ari" Sotiriou works with people who want change around stress, relationships and money-related pressures. He supports those struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, addictions and life transitions. He also helps with intimacy, parenting concerns, anger and a wide range of family of origin and attachment issues.

Ari uses Psychodynamic Therapy to help clients understand patterns that repeat across their life and relationships. He draws on eleven years of practice in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, which appears as BACP. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through painful experiences and begin to make different choices.

In sessions he pays attention to feelings and recurring themes, and he helps people link past experiences to present difficulties. Practical steps are discussed alongside deeper reflection, so people leave with both new insight and concrete next steps.

Ari works with individual clients and with couples. He has experience supporting people through separation, blended family issues, caregiving stress and health-related worries such as cancer. He also addresses problems tied to attachment, abandonment and dependence.

Sessions are offered in English, French and Greek, and international clients can be seen. Before booking, clients should confirm the current session formats available through the platform. To begin, use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire.

Psychodynamic approaches and online working

Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on patterns that repeat in relationships and inside the self. It helps people uncover how earlier experiences shape present feelings and behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, relationship problems and recurring difficulties like codependency or avoidance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and work collaboratively to decide whether psychodynamic work or another way of working suits you better. This conversation happens early on and can be revisited as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work and family life, reducing travel time, and making it easier to maintain weekly momentum. Because the biography does not state which formats are used here, please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find that online sessions make it simpler to attend consistently and to build steady progress alongside day-to-day responsibilities.
